Default What will be on the table Xmas Day?

What will you be serving up on the dining table this year?

Please restrict answers to foodstuffs please!

Here will be whole fillet steak and roast spuds done on the webber Q.

And sprouts, lots and lost of sprouts. Good job we can have the windows open.

Due to sheer laziness and Christmas apathy we are going to friends for a BBQ, all we have to do is supply the home grown salad, crackers and some of that lush Killinchy Gold & Whittakers ice cream.

We are going to a bbq at a friends on the day (after work and I may be called away as I'm on-call)

Default Re: What will be on the table Xmas Day?

Start the day with bucks fizz, I will make scrambled eggs and smoked salmon with toast for breakfast.

Home made sausage rolls for elevenses.

Lunch will be Roast chicken, sausage rolled in bacon, roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, stuffing, cranberry sauce, bread sauce, gravy. Served with NZ wine. Dessert is home made sherry trifle.

Afternoon - board games and chocolate. More like snoozing in front of the t.v. but hey!

Evening will be cheese board and crackers, pate, chutney, cold chicken, cold ham, home made sausage rolls, crisps, peanuts, mince pies, Christmas cake.

BTW - just where do you get sprouts this time of year ? I could have got some parsnips but they are so ropey in the summer it's hardly worth bothering.
