me and my family are anti xmas dinner so we each have our favourite meal. we all have antipasti to start, then mini filo parcels and homemade sushi. After that is a freshly made chicken and tomato soup with ciabatta. Then i'll be having a mixed hanging kebab with tabule (spelling) and mixed pepper and apple couscous. My dad is having lambs liver and quail (each to their own) with buttery parsnips, sprouts, flat roasties and red wine reduction. Sister is going for a teriyaki beef stir fried with beansprouts, carrot, sugarsnap peas, mooli, water chestnuts, cabbage and noodles. Mum gets a chicken breast stuffed with tomato mushroom pepper and aubergine wrapped in parma ham and rested on an asparagus risotto served with a bistro style salad. Afters is my very own carrot cake, triple chocolate mousse gateaux thingy and passionfruit/lemon rippled sorbet.

Went to Asda last night, completely sold out, didn't know if they would get any more before Christmas. Tesco's only had small/medium size birds and only about 15 left, so we had to get a medium one much to my wife's disgust. I can take it or leave it, but she loves a turkey, we end up eating it for a week!
She was actually in a state of panic in Asda's!
Get yourself to your local butchers and get one the free range bronze fat bstd turkeys from yuor local farm are quality none of taht frozen asda or tesco bollx
I'm just a poor council worker, £15 for an overgrown chicken is more than enough for me!
This will be my second Jesus Day spent with my fella. Always had turkey at home so I've got a bit fed up with it really.
Last year was lamb, this year we're doing roast venison with stuffed quail.
POSH IT UP.

At home I'll be eating home made Christmas cake and mince pies :-)[/quote]
We have chicken and gammon along with various veg and other bits. followed by a home made christmas pud that, judging by the smell, appears to be more whisky than pudding. fortunately I have a welders mask ready for when I set light to it.
