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.

We always put on right nice buffet spread for Christmas Eve -- sausage rolls, mini quiches, vol-au-vents, curry, mince pies, fairy cakes and other assorted nibblies and chocolate treats! My mum has a catering business, so we get so spoiled with all these traditional homemade British goodies although this year I am making the mince pies which I need to get started on today! Have a fab Chrimbo everyone!

Actually it is the diabetics ideal meal ;-) Low carbs (minus the rice) and quite pleasing to the palate.

Re: Your Christmas Eve Meal?
The curry idea sounds like a tradition we could start ... We have 3 pretty good Indian restaurants withon 5 miles of me now... in Duluth, GA... Faves in this order..
Minerva (States Bridge) - all u can eat buffett lunch - busiest restaurant in town - seats hundreds - seriously.
The Palace (Peachtree Parkway (141)/Holcombe Br)
Clay Oven (States br (120)/Peachtree Ind).. All our English goods sold next door.. awesome prices.
If you live, or visit Atlanta.. Do try em out..\
I think the day after boxing day could easily become a tradition for Indian..

[QUOTE=clydegirl]You cannot beat the smell of minc e pies baking on christmas eve .
You are so true, when I was little I used to sit at the kitchen table and brush the milk on the top of the mincies before Mum put them in the oven... now I love a blob of brandy butter on top to finish them off...ohh I'm so hungry

My daughter has actually brought across with her a bottle of Tesco's Room Spray for Christmas......with the aroma of mince pies and brandy butter. It's wonderful - but it does give me an appetite!
Our local King's supermarket (owned by Marks and Spencers) has very little in the way of lovely British festive food...but we did get a box of Walker's mince pies and a large variety tin of Cadbury's chocolate biscuits....husband was King's yesterday and said he was astonished at hearing so many English accents!
