Perusing the wine list.

It's got to be the Quality Street after dinner. Or Cream Soda. Two things I would find pretty repugnant any other time of year.

Isolt

Stuffing. And gravy!

FatherLen

coca cola ham.



and the nap

RoboRat

Stuffing and croquets, both missing on my first venture to my wife's family for Christmas dinner last year.

They better be there this Christmas or I will piss on the turkey.

Ihatecuddles

Veg soup starter
Chicken and mushroom vol au vents
Stuffing turkey mash and gravy.

I am so excited.

loalae

Brandy Butter. And the crap jokes in the crackers.

Why? Does that improve the taste?

sausages wrapped in a strip of bacon

MMMMMM salty :-)

Red Kev

Pudding. especially the last couple of spoons in the bowl.

Throw a load of Whiskey over it, light it, serve it with cream. The cream starts to liquify and it's the last couple of spoons, the pudding, cream and whiskey all rolled in together, along with the satisfaction of being nicely full and a good film on the telly after with a nice cold bottle of beer that sets it all off... can't wait..:)

dark crystal

Stir fried brussels sprouts in butter with crispy pieces of diced bacon. Best part of the meal by a long way.

...Besides the glass of bubbly of course!

spiced beef

Sala

Roast potatoes with gravy, great at any time but at Christmas you can get away with eating about 6. Noms.

Yellow121

When it's over so I can get away from those people.

Nothing beats sitting down to a Christmas feast...personally it has to be grabbing a forkful of turkey, ham, stuffing and garden peas all covered in copious amounts of gravy...sweet baby Jesus that's good eatin'

pez5858

Ooh, I agree that there are things you would eat on Christmas day that you wouldn't touch any other time. But my favourite part of the Christmas dinner has got to be how damn much of it there is, and how seconds and thirds are almost obligatory.

MadsL

Ate Turkey twice at Thanksgiving. It will be Quail for dinner this year I think. Followed by Ham.

Artful_Badger

Sprouts and stuffing.

IvySlayer

Stuffing!!

PizzamanIRL

Stuffing.

Then croquettes all soggy in gravy.

I don't actually like the turkey. I prefer to throw it into a sandwich with brown sauce later on in the evening.

The Backwards Man

Eating it.

hardCopy

The roasties

Aestivalis

The dessert + tea with fancy chocolates.
Never was a fan of christmas dinner to be honest. Dry meats and veg...eh, I could pass.
I do love a good trifle though, or a nice warm apple tart with some cold custard on it.

looking_around

tbh, christmas dinners isn't any different than other days of the year, for me.

All those saying stuffing, do you not cook roasts any other time of the year? o0

Wattle

Herding the sprouts to the side of my plate and knowing that their going into the bin rather than my stomach. I hate sprouts.

McChubbin

Honey roasted parsnips and potato croquettes smothered in Ballymaloe cranberry relish. Ermagerdwant.

jamo2oo9

My favourite part is the seconds and thirds and the wee snooze after that

mark17j

roasties with some stuffing and gravy dipped in cranberry sauce on the fork.

john the one

The big dirty bowel evacuation afterwards. The best part of the christmas dinner. See if you can pass a brussell sprout whole

fussyonion

The gravy soaked turkey mixed with the stuffing. And the potato croquettes.
And the booze. Dear Lord, let us not forget the booze.

Yes the only good thing I can say about sprouts is they do seem to prompt spectacularly satisfying bowel movements.

SeaFields

Beyond any doubt, spiced beef. The smell of it being cooked christmas eve, the gorgeous taste of it at dinner and the spiced beef, ham and stuffing sandwiches for tea


/drools.

ablelocks

The wine I drink while cooking the dinner.

The wine I drink with the starter.

The wine I drink with the mains.

The wine I drink with dessert.

Stinicker

The smell of brussels sprouts sicken me, it is as if an open sewer was in the kitchen on Christmas day. Sprouts and Cabbage are both banned in my house.

diomed

Being with the others.

Mint Sauce

Every single little bit of it, even the sprouts.

Ilyana 2.0

The steak, the lovely, lovely steak. And the garlic potatoes. And the roast carrots.

The wine.

The After Eights.

All of it really

Hooked

My auld fella does the dinner at home. Ex firefighter, was the chef of the group...

Any whooo.... He strips all the dark meat from the legs and rolls it on one of those butchers nets (like a large sausage) filled in the centre with his own stuffing and black pudding. Christ almighty!!!

I'm off to my OH's this Christmas Day... But the auld lad is under strict instruction to save me a few slices.

On the plus side... My OHs mam... There must be 20 different things on the table for a Sunday. Christmas must be like this on steroids...

Can't wait.

jantheman91

The meat sweats.

It shouldn't if it's been killed properly!

jersman

The starter. The only time of the year we have one. Usually bbq salmon. The lashings of gravy and the sweating but the determination to finish it all and still have room for dessert and tea with a tin of biscuits and chocolate sweets. Followed by a fierce urge to sleep but you don't want to miss any part of the day!

Pang

Cranberry and port sauce on the sprouts. Divine.

Butterfly25

Stuffing, turkey with cranberry sauce & loads of salt

Yum!!

fartman

say no to sprouts and gravey ..yank
