Next year I’ll buy the turkey. Look what my mother-in-law brought by mistake, as she’d forgotten her glasses when she went shopping. So we had meatballs instead.
Late to this. Been a hectic old day. But this particular entry caught the eye.. Nice of someone to go over it with the fine roller before you got stuck in. Has to be one of the flattest plates of food I've ever seen!
Christmas Dinner Orlando style. Pleasantly surprised with duck and gammon wellington - twist on pigs in blankets, but they are there!!
Have they ran out of Vegetables in Florida ?
Just about!! They had lots of salads in fairness, but didn’t fancy that with roast duck. No fries in sight which was a pleasant change. Desserts were amazing - all mini and mostly light but top notch!

I can only say it’s the angle as it was a mound of food! 😂
My mum being in a care home for a second Christmas just me and dad who barely eats much. So I had to take the strain at 10 in the evening. This is before the gravy and the cauliflower cheese (which I forgot and burnt). The imodium instants is an optional extra but with my cooking, possibly a necessity.
Forgot to take a snap until I'd started eating so presentations a bit all over the place.
Cheesed leeks with a breadcrumb gratin top. Mashed swede, carrots brocoli, sprouts. Shit tonne of parsnips and roasties. Turkey with cranberry, lamb with mint sauce, stuffing and pigs in blankets. Gravy was the best I've ever made.
2nd snap has the Yorkshire added!
Vegetable pincer manoeuvre against a timid and retreating meat army suspended due to a tsunami flooding of gravy. Yorkshire pudding with a Christmas dinner is the height of culinary vulgarity.
Is it a tradition to eat potatoes, carrots, beans and bacon during Christmas in the UK?😅 To be honest I'm surprised to notice a lack of vegetable varieties and... no one had any kind of fish? Shrimp/prawns? Etc. Seeing these pictures I'm confident you'll be blown away by how many different kinds of delicious foods we have here in China if you ever come for a visit🤣

We always have prawn cocktail starters on Christmas Day. Also oysters when we lived in France

Christmas dinner is a traditional set of foods, yes - usually some combination of turkey (or another big meat, less commonly - beef or chicken); Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, carrots, Brussels sprouts, pigs in blankets (little sausages wrapped in bacon), cauliflower, broccoli, some form of green bean, parsnips, peas, or other vegetables.
For a starter, prawn cocktail is something some people do, while others will have canapés such as a salmon mousse blini or similar, so there is some fish there. But this is more based around tradition which is why on Christmas the vegetables are all so similar!
We're not spoiled for choice in the UK - this is a snapshot of what is traditional on one day of the year.
