Christmas Lunch
Do you cook Christmas lunch... Italian style, UK/US/ROW style? Are menus already decided?
Last year I went hiking in the lakes, it was a lovely sunny day. This year am less inspired and was wondering whether to 'do' Christmas in form or another or pass!

I once proposed Christmas pudding to an unassuming bunch of OH's relatives, only to witness: 1) fear 2) confusion 3) slight embarrassment all mixed into one!!!! Needless to say it's something I went on to enjoy by myself down the line!

In Umbria they sell Panpepato that is very similar to Xmas pud.

Absolutely not. Yorkshire pudding should only be served with roast beef! Although I do love them, I don't think we have tried them on the relatives. Roasted parsnips and cauliflower cheese is just about all they can cope with...

Re: Christmas Lunch
Cauliflower cheese is lovely... haven't had that in years...
In the end we had Stinco and Christmas Pudding. I know and odd mix. But it somehow worked. But next year made a promise that it'll be a packed lunch out hiking somewhere, or an ice cream on a beach somewhere warm!
