I'm planning to get up, drink loads, chill out and eat my lunch on Xmas day - lunch that im having with my mum and one of my sisters. We all decided to have Lamb for lunch coz none of us like chicken or turkey or any of that crap. SO, Lamb it is. And, i dare say, a lot of wine! Then i'm going to work! So, what are you having?

I really dislike lamb....odd choice for christmas...but it's all good I guess. I'm going to my aunt's house where the whole family goes, and we have SO MUCH FOOD that youre stomach would explode looking at it. It's quite enjoyable.
It looks like I'll be making a turkey (or at least a turkey breast) and a beef roast Brussels sprouts and green bean casserole Mince pies, cookies, coconut macaroons (^^^all by specific request) Mashed and roasted potatoes Yorkshire puds (<-- pretty much all I'll be eating) Gravy Probably some stuffing... maybe I should start my cooking now, I've definitely stopped asking people what they'd like.
french onion soup garlic bread roast turkey roast pork roast beef roast potatoes roast parsnips carrots brussel sprouts peas yorkshire pudding stuffing bread sauce christmas pudding strawberry cake lemon torte raspberry cheesecake cheeseboard stilton---chedder---brie---plus two more five types of crackers 15 bottles of wine and three cases of beer i have 15 people for christmas dinner. thanks for this post as it made me write out a menu thus a shopping list to follow MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL
I'm sure it will be fairly traditional stuff revolving round a turkey crown. Think Anne-Marie and I are cooking round at the MILs place - she broke her arm in a couple of places at the end of last week and now has to have an op because they aren't happy with the way it's turned out. So that's happening Thursday morning, the day I get back into the UK.
Probably the same thing I'll serve to the homeless. I'll be volunteering to feed the hungry and I don't know the menu.
What you have been describing is more dinner than lunch. For lunch koshlena, pickled beets and rye bread. skieur
