Your Ideal Christmas Dinner

Surf & Turf

If we get passed the problem that I'd like the traditional dinner, I'd have to say turkey curry, with bombay aloo (spiced/curried spuds) and a few Tiger beers. Might see if I can make some with the leftover turkey, and the exta one we picked up in Tescos for a tenner.

That is all.

Add Spiced Beef from Cork to that mix.
I also require TK Red Lemonade. Used to be Tanora.
Also need mayonnaise for obligatory turkey and stuffing sandwiches.
And maybe a Toblerone.

Haha, my dad makes an awesome turkey curry every Steven's day, it's great as it breaks up the monotony of the same food each day over the xmas

Ice cold Tanora is awesome for a hangover.

Also I have a friend who moved to Cork from Tipp, but he always goes back home for Christmas so he never had spiced beef before. It's fu[url][/url]cking expensive stuff, but I got him some for Christmas. The bollix better appreciate it.

My ole fella will do the same, but not on Stephen's day but a few days later. Then he'll freeze it and bring it out in the summer when we haven't had turkey for yonks.

Creamy mashed potatoes with Yorkshire puds dowsed in gravy would be my ideal dinner. I'll be serving Turkey, Ham,.Stuffing, mashed carrots & parnips, roast potatoes, creamy mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, peas, etc. tomorrow for my missus & kids.

Why isn't spiced beef popular in Dublin?

Because they're culinary philistines.

For starters: smoked salmon on brown bread with cream cheese and capers

Main: turkey, honey glazed roast ham, roast sweet potato (regular potatoes for everyone else), brocolli and cauliflower cheese, roast carrots

-possible cheese course in here-

Desert: Milk Tray (don't like pudding!)

Nice to see that the majority seem to be going for the traditional Xmas dinner. This kind of thread appears on all sorts of forums every year. Usually most of the responses seem to be from food snobs and Sainsburys food add writers.

Oh one is sick of the monotony of having turkey all the time. This year one has gone for a Norfolk wild fowl, stuffed with a rosemary and basil blah with a lightly glazed roast legume and a blah blah sauce blah blah blah

FFS. Yeah the terrible monotony of eating something once every 365 days :rolleyes:

Big mofo of a Turkey.
Pale Ham
Smoked Ham
Mashed Potato
Roast Potato
Sprouts
Carrots
Celery
Tonnes of Thyme and Parsley Stuffing(breadcrumbs and Sausage meat)
and Litres and Litres of yummy gravy

Bit of Christmas cake
Bit of Christmas Pud
Banana Boat

Open belt, button and fly

and slump in the couch watching telly with all the family with everyone farting in chorus.

I ****ing love Christmas Day!!

you are all too posh....
