Is it a tradition to eat potatoes, carrots, beans and bacon during Christmas in the UK?😅 To be honest I'm surprised to notice a lack of vegetable varieties and... no one had any kind of fish? Shrimp/prawns? Etc. Seeing these pictures I'm confident you'll be blown away by how many different kinds of delicious foods we have here in China if you ever come for a visit🤣
Just for you, Noche Buena in Spain (celebrated on the 24th)
sorry to come all Seth Plum on you, but just how many creatures were massacred to make that meal?

I think one of the fortunate things about living in London is that you can eat out at a restaurant specialising in food from probably 90% of counties in the world (and even restaurants specialising in specific regions of countries) within an hour or two radius. I have always thought it would be good one day to start at A and eat the alphabet... Like Angola, Botswana, Cambodia, Denmark etc.... it would take a few years but we quite fun.
Surely it would only take 26 days, rather that years to eat the alphabet?

We went to a restaurant for Christmas lunch, but Mrs Davo made a rather magnificent Beef Wellington for Boxing Day evening, which was great after getting home from the Valley.
Served simply with roasties, green beans, a rich beef gravy and horseradish.
Here you go.... (and yes, the extra bit of pastry on one plate was me being greedy).

Actually that wellington looks like a Ginsters Chicken and Mushroom slice quality mate.
just popped back into this thread and clocked this plate, what on earth is that stuff on the turkey?, looks like something I have to remove from my pond periodically.

As someone that couldn't cook until I started to learn around this time last year, I surprised myself with today's efforts. Not a huge fan of veg except the frozen mixed, but it's a start.

That’s Greg’s Steak Bake . Don’t deny it 😂
I thought it looked like a Greg's. Also looks like my kitchen worktop🤔

I would likely have a heart attack or run out of money before the end if I tried it concurrently hence my timeline.
Chinese New Year is a few weeks away. I'll upload some pics, if I remember to take any.
I did try to share a picture of our traditional dessert 'Tuanzi' in the Winter Solstice thread the other day but couldn't upload it so I gave up! How do you upload multiple pictures in one post? I've got some pictures of what I had last year (2024) in the resturants. Granted those were not home made dinners but we eat out every few weeks so it's an example of what kind of food we potentially have on Chinese New Year's Eve - which will only be better, because it's the most important festival of the year.
Edit: Pictures are below. Sorry I probably ruined this thread with too many pictures - I just figured out to upload them with my PC instead of mobile phone. It seems to work. And HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!
Looks delicious! Makes me hungry even though I’ve only just eaten breakfast !
It's not one dinner😆 Not New Year's Eve dinner either. Just some of the food me and my parents have had in the past year to give you an idea of what people eat at the restaurant in China. When I eat out with friends, I don't take pictures. I don't like hot pot and some other traditional Chinese food. Therefore these are just a tiny bit of example of Chinese food (with the addition of a few Western dishes there). Nice to know you like it!
