Christmas dinner - what will be on your table

[MaryPoppins]

Mama Poppins is a chef, so we usually have to start talking about this meal around July time.



Beef wellington, I think.

I've been looking forward to it since I moved into the new house in Jan Proper kitchen this time instead of the tiny cloggy crappy combi oven.

Though for me it will either be beef or pork.

Turkey crown, big joint of ham. Full set of veg (parsnips, sprouts, carrots, broccoli, coli, mash, roast spuds, stuffing, pigs in blankets)

Best meal of the year.

+1 Mother in Law V is an excellent cook and I'm looking forward to it.

In an ideal world I'd cook this but there's only two of us, but I suppose the leftovers wouldn't be so bad.

Exactly this - cooked by me

Although by midday I will be more soaked in alcohol than the food!

On another note - do you all put the food in the middle of the table and let everyone help themselves, plate it in the kitchen and serve it or a bit of a combination of the two?

Food on serving plates/bowls in the middle with the PiB and Roasties located next to me.

ah yes indeed

I was thinking more about the parsnips/sprouts

No one ever has more than 1 each of these so to put a bowl out of 20 is pointless, timeconsuming and it takes up valuable table space...

mmm I think I may do a hybrid this year!
