What are you having for Christmas Dinner?

[NoMercy]

We will probably have turkey. I rather fancy a goose but I doubt I'll convince him to try that instead...

[sunny-dave]

Roast Rib of Beef - nice & pink with Yorkies, Roasties, Sprouts & horseradish sauce ...

... and better on Boxing day than Cold Turkey ;)

[mccfluff]

well if i get out of bed it will be whatever's in the fridge and i can be bothered to cook, im sure last year i feasted on cheese n crackers all day, bloody lush it was

[sunny-dave]

... oh and bottle of 2000 Gran Reserva Rioja that's been waiting patiently :)))

[NoMercy]

I do like my beef pink in the middle. Can't stand incinerated meat.

[NoMercy]

Hope you had a good wine with that, fluffster.

[souldriver]

we will be having a nice big porkloin. Nobody likes turkey in this house.

[mccfluff]

i think i was recovering rather than drinking :-)

[China Doll]

Not turkey!

I'm doing christmas dinner this year and had a great menu of scallops and black pudding on a pea risotto to start followed by roast duck (hadn't decided on just breast or a whole one) with roast tatties and veg. Man hostage has suggested I perhaps do something I may have cooked before based on my general cullinery success.... So beans on toast it is.

[mccfluff]

with a bacon roll

[Philtaz]

Either beans or poached egg on toast.

[rowanwitch]

plum glazed turkey crown, spiced gammon.. all the trimmings
mincewmeat bakewell tart, christmas pudding custard

[NoMercy]

Those scallops were beginning to make my mouth water...

[mccfluff]

and me till i got to black pudding and rissotto

[China Doll]

My bacon rolls aren't as good as his :c(

Nigella in the kitchen I am not.... I did used to be relatively good at making a roast dinner (always thought they were pretty simple and it was more a timing thing) so I probably will do beef as I've done it before. With beans on toast on stand by just in case.

[ladyalex]

Probably roast leg of lamb. (We don't like turkey either)
All the trimmings, though,including bacon rolls, stuffing, cranberry sauce roasties, mash, minty peas...we like the accompaniments, just not the turkey.

[heathfield]

Beef Wellington! Yum.

[Old_Geezer]

I'd rather have a decent bird like a turkey, or even try something different for me, a goose maybe, or a duck, or a pheasant, or something. But I'm not the family member who agrees to have everyone around on Xmas, so I'll probably be stuck with one of those daft tukey "crowns" again; or be told to get a leg separately for myself if I'm that bothered :-( What is it with that ? "Oh we have a nice bird here, tell you what, we'll take away the tasty decent bits you can pick up with your hands and have a good go at, and sell them separately. Some sucker will buy the rest of it anyway even though it'll be little different to the stuff you can get sliced in the frozen ready meals all year around." It's not as if I can invite everyone to mine, and being alone Xmas day isn't particularly attractive as an option. Oh well. Maybe I'll have to get a cheap after Xmas bird if I'm not sick of turkey by then.

[NoMercy]

Beef Wellington sounds yummy.

We're having leg o' lamb on Boxing Day.

[sunny-dave]

I thought 'legolamb' was a character in Lord of the Rings - is it legal to roast an elf ....

[craft1948]

As I'll be on my own I'll be having a lamb shank (no rudies please) with Yorkshire and all the trimmings, and on Boxing Day it will be monkfish or swordfish.
