Your Christmas Eve Meal?
 

Are you having/do you have a special Christmas Eve meal?

Thanks to the European side of my spouse's family (I have nothing to do with this), my MIL is preparing a "white" meal for Christmas Eve. It's traditional Polish (or is it Catholic. I'm not sure).

There'll be: perch (a white fish), sauerkraut (white cabbage), pierogi, rolls and potato salad. I love all this kind of stuff.

Us to, if we were in the UK now we would have a curry tomorrow.We have found a good Indian in downtown Tampa which is the best so far.We have tried five altogether,and I did a google and we have three more to find. So the search goes on.

We ALWAYS eat the same... That is, EVERYTHING... All the Christmas goodies come out around 7 ish... Quality Street, After Eights, Nuts, dates, Liq allsorts, proper biscuits, tangerines, more chocolate, Choco Orange, ... Basically, everything and we eat until we feel sick.......

No "formal tea" that night... Go to bed wanting to puke but EVERYONE is up for the British Breakfast on Crimbo morning... This year.. English bacon (from our www.britishbacon.com friends). Hearty bangers (same store), Mushrooms, heinz beanz, Tin Toms, Best quality (for here) white bread for toast. and a cup of PG tips....

Then pig out on the same stuff from the night before...

Then the turkey and.... sorry... I am going on a bit....

I'd sell the kids! Hubby wants tamales, rice and refried beans. Think I'm going to order pizza!

Re: Your Christmas Eve Meal?
 

Not at all! That was great. Went to Cost Plus today and bought English choccies for all the kids in the extended family. I'm going to go back tomorrow and stock up for us! Thanks for the prompt. And hubby has now agreed to a full English brekky xmas morning. Non of that cake rubbish (Panettone).

Steak, probably a ribeye, cooked (well just barely) .... rare! :D

Re: Your Christmas Eve Meal?
 

Or like my dad always says 'just walk it through a warm room'.

Re: Your Christmas Eve Meal?
 

We always have a pizza delivered.......we've done it for years.........

Re: Your Christmas Eve Meal?
 

Roast beef, yorkshire puds, roast pots etc etc. Then if any room let in our bulging tummys will attack the mountain of goodies my lovely parents in law brought with them from the UK.

By the way....Merry Christmas to one and all
