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! Tongue along with a healthy serving of double cream! Big Grin

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.
