I've stuck to turkey and ham this year ordered from our
local small butchers with all my own vege accompaniment.
We will be having our lunch on Boxing Day as I am working.
I might be a bit weird but I love googling recipes to use up
all the leftovers nearly as much as the first event so rarely
get sick of them either.
Westi
What's everyone having for Xmas lunch this year?

Cold turkey sandwiches and a bottle of wine on Blackrock sands. Hopefully as deserted as last year.
Steak and dauphinoise potatoes. My OH's favourite, only the two of us so we do whatever we want. On the Sunday we are having roast pork, roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings, (my OH makes them with strong white flour and they are superb, they grow into massive puffy yorkshires) our veggies, sausage meat kofkas wrapped in bacon, chipolatas.
OUr daughter and grandaughter and my mother in law are coming for tea, our son and daughter in law cannot make it so it will just be the five of us. I was going to do pork and lamb but my MIL doesn't like lamb. She used to farm lamb and has never eaten it.

Just a thought, on New years day we walk up Pendle Hill and almost every year there is a family who take a bar-b-que and have a family party up there, one year we were really wrapped up as it was blowing a gale and sleeting and one person in this family had SHORTS on.

GillyC I thinkthe NSPCC would take exception to your menu

Whatever looks good on Truro's Farmer's Market. Last year it was pork, the year before it was veal. It's been beef in the past. Starters provided by a local fisherman who supplies a bucket of fresh crustaceans and fish for £20 a go. Usually go to Cornwall for a week alone but this year is a fortnight with some visitors. Looking forward to walking the dog, eating great lunches, having dinner in. Booked a few Michelin Star lunches but dinners are all ours. Can't wait!

There are only three of us this year, so I thought I would go over to the Deer farm and get some venison and perhaps a pheasant.

Well i've got some very exciting news.
I never really knew what i had for Christmas dinner for years, as it was always too burnt, but as the years went on i was able to guess what was what by the shapes of things now for someone that like surprises this was quite disappointing.
But this year cook is going to spice things up a little, she's going to dice the veg in a different manner than normal, so the guessing can start all over again.

Going to my sons for christmas day, so it's a delicious mystery/ surprise, he usually cooks christmas dinner and is a good cook, I taught both my boys and daughter to cook.

Now there's a thought Alan, but whether the said vegetables would keep their lovely shape after a good burning i'm not sure.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
