Whats on your Christmas Table?

AshAdele

I was wondering what everyone has on Christmas day? I'm the one cooking this year so have been looking for inspiration for starters

Starter
Deep friend calamarie and prawns

Main
Turkey
Ham
Spice beef
roast potatoes
potato crochets
parsnips and carrots (roasted)
Brussel sprouts (a small bowl no one really likes them but they must be there)
Gravy

Desert
Christmas Pudding
Yule Log
Trifle (maybe)


Later
cheese board
Tin of roses

Heroditas

Starter:
Prawns or chicken salad (I hate prawns)

Main Course:
Turkey
Ham
Mashed potato
Roast potato
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Sprouts
Carrots
Asparagus
Green beans/mange tout
Sprouts - mountains of them because I could eat them all day and night. Highlight of Christmas dinner for me.
Stuffing
Gravy, cranberry sauce & mustard of course

Dessert:
Pavlova
Cheese cake
Cheeseboard

No Christmas cake, trifle or pudding with the in-laws - they all hate them!

Lots of red and white wine to wash it all down.

Not sure what this years starter is yet...

Main will most likely be stuffed pork steak
Duck fat roasts
carrot and parsnip mash
brussel sprouts with honey and bacon
red cabbage
proper gravy

Still undecided as to what this years dessert will be. I want to make croquembouche but I'm on nights - need to figure out my timings!
