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🤣
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.2 -
Bit late but this was yesterday's Xmas plate.Goose this year, which was absolutely amazing. Homemade stuffing at the bottom which is a meal in itself.2

I was thinking about Christmas dinner tradition, and the least traditional element is probably the turkey. The really traditional bird is probably goose. And the Johnny-Come-Lately American impostor cranberry sauce would have been redcurrant jelly, which is still popularly served with lamb or game (I had it with my venison yesterday)1

I think one of the fortunate things about living in London is that you can eat out at a restaurant specialising in food from probably 90% of counties in the world (and even restaurants specialising in specific regions of countries) within an hour or two radius. I have always thought it would be good one day to start at A and eat the alphabet... Like Angola, Botswana, Cambodia, Denmark etc.... it would take a few years but we quite fun.6 - Sponsored links:

As someone that couldn't cook until I started to learn around this time last year, I surprised myself with today's efforts.
Not a huge fan of veg except the frozen mixed, but it's a start.

My observation is that too few people are cooking their potatoes to the crispiness desired to my taste.
My wife's dinner was sumptuous. Sorry there's no photo. I went without breakfast and I was hungry.0 -

8 pages and not one bottle of ketchup or HP on the plate. I also noticed a lot of gravy, northerners.0
