I know we have vegetarians,piscatarians and possibly vegans on the forum so just wondered how different the Christmas dinners willbe for all? Will it be a traditional Turkey dinner with all the trimmings or some other version?
I personally class myself as carnivore but can vear towards ketovore at times like Christmas and other festive periods. I do usually draw the line at carbs,seed oils and ultra processed food though.
This year my plan is to have duck. I will also purchase a soup pack consisting of a tiny swede (chopped,boiled and mashed with butter and white pepper) carrots (glased in some way) Parsnip (cooked in the duck fat) and maybe a few roasties (also cooked in duck fat)
I am also partial to Christmas pudding even though its carb rich (soddit it's Christmas!  along with a healthy serving of double cream!

For me, it will be the same as any other day. Whatever is Free, cheap or lurking in the freezer.

We usually have turkey or goose and all the appropriate trimmings. This year I don’t know what it’ll be. We’re having Christmas dinner with our neighbours. So no cooking. My perfect Christmas.

I don't like turkey or chicken in the past we've had pheasant, duck, lamb or fish. Not decided this year yet though.

Well, this last fortnight or more has disappeared for me and I've been thinking cancel Xmas. The main reason for this was I thought Christmas was far closer than it is. As it is, I'm turning more to the traditional dinner as usual. The lad always has lamb. There'll be Xmas pud but my usual marathon bake of mince pies is on hold.

No frozen 'Donalds' in Morries, I'll have to try Tesc*s I suppose?

I finished up buying two frozen ducks from Tesc*s quite cheaply
After cooking one on as trial for the big day,I have had second thoughts. The embarrasing main reason is that is it made me have smelly farts into the next day!  With this in mind,and bcause its a family day on boxing day I think I will give the duck a miss.
So now it's a choice between a beef joint, pork joint, gammon joint or half leg of lamb, all of which i have in the fridge!
I know I can cook beef nicely so its the favourite for my Christmas dinner up until now?
