Recommendations For Christmas Dinner
37 Answers
I'd like some recommendations for Christmas Dinner, please.
So far, for the 'mains', I'm thinking the following:
Turkey Breast Joint
Pigs In Blankets
Roast Potatoes (boiled and then deep-fried OR oven roasted)
Mashed Potato
Pork, Sage & Onion Stuffing Balls
Stuffing
Dumplings
Carrots, Broccoli & Cauliflower & Processed Peas (or Marrowfat Peas)
Apple Sauce
Cranberry Sauce
Gravy
For pudding/desert (possibilities):
Christmas Cake (fruitcake with marzipan icing)
Jam Roly-Poly (with custard)
Sticky Toffee Pudding (with custard)
Apple Strudel
New York Cheesecake
Battenberg Cake
Yogurt
Fruit
I don't think the pudding/desert is as important, given that I'll probably not be able to move after eating the Christmas Dinner. The meal is just for myself and my better half.
Any ideas will be very much appreciated from all you lovely people :)

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.MissT, I agree. We used to have a massive Christmas lunch and pud and cheese and then 3 hours later, a full tea! That is just too much food.
We have stopped that now. We shall have a roast dinner on CD at my brother's with pud - but that will be it. NO MORE FOOD.
On Boxing Day, I am hosting and I am doing a "pick what you want when you want, eat at the table or eat at the sofa or eat standing up, eat with your fingers or eat with a fork" buffet so people can graze as much or as little as they want. Very informal and caters for the older people who would like to eat at the table and the younger ones who like to pick and curl up on one of the sofas.

I don't 'do' Christmas but I do have the food! Sainsburys basted turkey joint, Aunt Bessies roasties, microwave veggies, Aunt Bessies yorkshires, pigs in blankets and stuffing balls (both new this year for me) and Sainsburys chicken gravy. Raspberry pavlova with cream for pud just because I saw it and fancied it. Any leftovers will be shared between the dogs although it will be cold meat and chips watching the racing on Boxing Day.
We don't do Christmas either Lankeela, but like to have a nice dinner.
Our son and wife don't do Christmas either --but we do have a get together and buffet usually a few days after, not this though. Not until ì am on the mend.
No Christmas decorations whatsoever. We obviously did Christmas when son was little.
