Look what my mother-in-law brought by mistake, as she’d forgotten her glasses when she went shopping.
So we had meatballs instead.

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!Bedsaddick said:

I've eaten a lot and I'm struggling with my self image.

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.

I made a Tunis cake without the Icing and marzipan fruit, enough calories already. 400 grams of chocolate on the thing, 2kg total weight.

Vegetable pincer manoeuvre against a timid and retreating meat army suspended due to a tsunami flooding of gravy.cantersaddick said: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!
Yorkshire pudding with a Christmas dinner is the height of culinary vulgarity.0 -

We always have prawn cocktail starters on Christmas Day. Also oysters when we lived in FranceJessie said: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🤣1 -
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.Jessie said: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?

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.4 -
Christmas dinner is a very traditional meal, roast meat, usually turkey, with a range of seasonal vegetables such as sprouts, carrots, parsnips, peas or beans, and gravy, pigs in blankets. Roast potatoes are practically obligatory.
Of course people tweak the variety according to their own preferences, but the meal itself is as traditional as it gets, hence the apparently limited range. It's essentially a fancy Sunday roast that just about all of us were brought up with. We have 364 other days for different things.
Boxing day is always my favourite, with cold meats left over from Christmas, smoked trout, ham, cheese, pickles salad and baked potatoes.
In the limbo period before new year with the remaining turkey we'll make curries and pies until it's all gone. By which time even the dog won't touch turkey...
