I will be having the normal Turkey/Ham and all the usual,sprouts,roast spuds,croquettes,stuffing and gravy.Lubricated by lots of wine,beer and a large brandy.Not sure about desert yet,as allthe family can't agree on this.Kids hate pudding and I hate Trifle,wife hates both.

One of the mates is having goose and roast beef for christmas dinner:eek:

I think this is certain polish regions. My friend who is married to a polish girl told about his Christmas last year in poland when he to got to his inlaws house for xmas dinner he was brought upstairs to the bathroom where there was live carp swimming in the bathtub and it was his job to make them so alive anymore.

Im not sure if this is tradition or they just done it to have a laugh at him though.

I say make them not so alive because the way he told it he wasnt very successful at killing them by brute force.

I hate Christmas dinner - worst meal of the year IMO. I hate turkey, sprouts, stuffing, ham. The only think I will enjoy are the potatoes and gravy.

Last year we had goose, which was fab, but it cost a fortune so are back to the horrible turkey.

At least it's only once a year.

mconigol · 16-12-2011 01:17PM

Gonna buy me some reindeer this year.

Apanachi · 16-12-2011 01:17PM

I'll be having my first Christmas turkey dinner for the first time in years, I've had goose or duck for the last 11 years, so I'm really looking forward to finally have a bit of turkey and ham for Christmas.

That's all we're having, Jacobs ones and a bit of stuffing.:(

fishy fishy · 16-12-2011 01:25PM

yes it is true, Polish people do have fish for dinner at Christmas, although I think this is eaten on Christmas Eve - the day of their celebration as far as I remember.

put chestnuts into the sprouts.

turkey and ham is traditional AS IS goose, spiced beef, - the spiced beef is usually served cold around Christmas also.

Oranage2 · 16-12-2011 01:29PM

Bottle of whiskey, a Tesco frozen meal and the Die Hard boxset - God I love Christmas.

leahyl · 16-12-2011 01:29PM

Turkey rules! You must all be cooking it wrong! The flavour from the turkey juices is savage....mmmm gravy and moist turkey....

OldGoat · 16-12-2011 01:33PM

I like sprouts.*

I love the whole Christmas day food - but nothing unusual, no. I love the classics!

BraziliaNZ · 16-12-2011 01:51PM

jesus i love sprouts. I've to cook this year as not going home, my brother is coming and some other orphans, I'll make some turkey i guess, I'm starving thinking about it.

padd b1975 · 16-12-2011 01:52PM

I hate the phrase"and all the trimmings"!

MagicMarker · 16-12-2011 01:54PM

Pork steak, roast potatoes, a small bit of veg, some gravy and a crap load of yorkshire puds.

All washed down with a pint of milk.

Blazer · 16-12-2011 01:56PM

I'll be having Turkey+Ham , Cream potatoes and a few brussel sprouts.
Maybe followed by mint Viennetta.
Later that nice 2 x turkey wings (cold with salt) and a glass of ice cold milk...can't beat it

Really couldn't be arsed drinking xmas day as I normally call around to see my nephews and nieces..

seamus · 16-12-2011 01:56PM

Most people would probably consider mine unusual in that it will not contain turkey or ham. Or any meat for that matter. Everything else though - roasters, sprouts, mashers, carrots, peas, a lake of gravy and a mountain of onion stuffing.

Nyom.

Turdurken

Available in the frozen section of Lidl or Aldi I believe.
