This is part 2 of the Christmas hamper David's sending out to everyone. He's already got the drinks sorted, veg will be next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Same as every year, pretty much just a glorified Sunday roast. Leave the turkey to the Americans & Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Yeah we seem to have moved to three meats ever since I started paying for the Christmas meat! Turkey, lamb and gammon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our children alternate Christmas Day hosting as they have most space. I did about ten years on the trot so it's payback. I foolishly said that each year I would source and pay for the meat. I then realised what sophisticated palates my children (normally happy with McDonald's) have developed. Nice though. Recent events have put into perspective the amazing good luck we have had with our family. Just having a together day is hugely important and we will make Christmas Day special, rather than the filling for two boozy Christmas excuses.

Mostyn6 Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 I, like many others, will probably now be alone on Christmas day. I’ve had a few alone over the years. Occasionally making the effort and having a Sunday type dinner, but on others, being brutally hungover and having a lazy lunch. Of my adulthood Christmas day companions, only my mother and brother are alive, I’ve lost 2 grandparents, a third is inactive due to a brain tumour being removed, an aunt has died and three of my closest friends have died too, all in last four years☹️ I wouldn’t dream of imposing on anyone cos its for families and children. just looking for ideas for food. But pretty limited really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1of4 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 This year we will be going with our usual turkey and pork for Christmas lunch. But in previous years we've gone with less traditional choices of beef wellington and sea bass. One year we even had a casserole, which meant we spend less time in the kitchen on Christmas day.

Or could make your own turkey tikka curry. Maybe go to somewhere like M&S and buy nice stuff for your own buffet. Duck pate, buffalo mozzarella and nice tomatoes, fancy bread to dip in olive and balsamic, pot of alioli, posh scotch egg, finest pork pie, good olives, 3 pricey cheeses, a platter of italian hams etc. Spend all day working thru it.
