Christmas Dinner

[I Love Snow]

Who is having what?

[RATTER15]

"Christmas" didn't that happen last year as well!!!

[Everhelpful]

Pot Noodle and a bowl of gruel,same as every year.

[Prudie]

Don't mean to brag but I will anyway - I'll be having a BBQ, probably steak, having spent the day on a near deserted beach.

[mccfluff]

whatever i fancy that's in the fridge

[2sp_]

We're having the usual - steak, chips and onion rings.

I don't want to spend the whole day cooking turkey that nobody really likes, so we have a really good steak and have more time to play with the kids, eat selection boxes and watch rubbish telly.

What are you having I Love Snow?

[Dizmo]

I think I'm going to be working in a soup kitchen for the homeless this year so I suppose - soup. I'll probably just have a hot spicy curry made with Bhut Jolokia after that and spend the rest of the evening and following 3 days on the toilet.

[ummmm]

Our xmas dinner is free. OH gets £50 in Tesco vouchers and £500 cash (works bonus)...and we go to MILs :-)

(we bring wine and stuff)

Just a stale crust, but to be fair the neighbour allows me to dip it in her gravy. She is so kind.

[Retrochic]

Eccles are you making the ravioli from scratch? if so can I have the recipe please? or the store you buy it from? Shame on you serving raw rudolph on Xmas day lol!

[mccfluff]

you dip your crust in your neighbours gravy????

[jennyjoan]

best answer to Blackadder - you made me laugh and I needed that.

[237SJ]

Turkey. It wouldn`t be christmas without turkey. I couldn`t imagine eating for eg roast beef. That would just feel like any other day of the year.

[EcclesCake]

Retro, the recipe for the ravioli is not an exact science, roasted squash purée with a couple of spoons of ricotta, spoon of toasted pine nuts, chilli flakes and seasoning.

Rudolph won't be raw I'll have seared him first ;-)

[Retrochic]

Thanks eccles -or should I say 'cruella deville'. Seriously though -is it nice venison carpaccio? I find venison in a casserole too gamey (tastes like liver to me)
