Christmas Dinner Menu
K, doing dinner for the fekwits again.
Turkey
Creamy mashed spuds
Real turkey gravy
Homemade stuffing (bread chunks, butter, sauteed onions, sage, S&P, little milk)
Homemade cranberry sauce
Corn, peas
Glazed carrots
Crusty rolls
Sweet potato pie, whipped cream -- maybe I'll do something else

I'm bored with the same lineup. Any suggestions? These guys don't do salads.

Bugger the turkey ( not literally I add cos this is a family forum )

Roast pork en croute was always the best seller as an alternative to turkey in the place I ran .

Recipe and method was given to Timba in his thread a while ago .

Will repeat if you cant find it !!!

To me Turkey is a pretty bland tasteless meat whatever you do with it, and other than tradition i just can't understand why people continue to eat it, lamb or venison makes a much better xmas dinner IMO.

No body in their right mind will eat mutton, and roast Venison is very dry and tastless. only meat with fat marble is good for roasting, that goes for pork too, if it ain't fat don't roast it.

Yea I don't care how old it is, shit is still mutton far as I concerned.

We do ham instead of turkey for Christmas. This leads to some excellent ham omelets over the holiday made by good ol’ mom as an extra benefit.

Other Christmas foods my family tends to do:
American style potato salad - this also is good to eat the day after with ham sandwiches
Image:Potato salad with egg and mayo.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Custard pie (the pic has coconut, but typically we do just a basic custard)
Image:CoconutCustardPie.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Waldorf salad (my familiy makes it a bit differnt than in the pick, a bit different cut on the apples, include grapes, and we minimize the celery)
Waldorf salad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

French's green bean casserole
FRENCH'S®

One other standard christmas food for our family is a ham n' cream cheese ball/roll
005.JPG (image)
An easy to make snack that can be served with crackers, cheese, bits of meat, and we like to have some pickled bologna to eat with it as well. The basic reciepe is about 16 oz of cream cheese, 1 package of shaved/chopped ham - chopped fine, a few green onions and chives - chopped fine. But you can and a pit of spice like worcestershire sauce if you like, and I have seen it rolled in pecans to dress it up a bit as well.

Yea, I missed that one. Easy to add to the mix if you are going to make potato salad - just boil a few more eggs.
Deviled egg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quite a few of the things my family does up for christmas can be easily eaten at any time, and eaten either cold or little effort to heat up, once they have been cooked. Because outside of the one big dinner on christmas, our family kind of bounces around from house to house for most of the week and snacking here and there is the typical of how we feed. Plus it tends to make the dishes part a bit easier over the week.

Pies - no prep once they are done.
Ham - easy to eat cold, or seconds in the microwave
Cheese ball - easy finger food
Deviled eggs - no prep once they are done.
Potato salad - no prep once it has been made
Waldorf salad - no prep once it has been made

The bean casserole is to appease my sister.

The traditional Xmas dinner in the US is turkey, it is not in the UK however- thats just an adopted habit since WW2.

In the UK, the traditional Xmas dinner is roast goose- which to my way of thinking is a much nicer meat anyway, but probably even harder to cook right.

ANZer's love the stuff- it's my favourite roast meat, bar none. The tastiest lamb comes from arid country- not that poovey Dutch lamb stuff. Gimme Aussie saltbush mutton, or a Greek hogget anyday.

Thanks kindly for suggestions and ideas, All. Yes, I love devilled eggs -- made them one time for a party and the Thais hoovered them up.
Lamb, sorry, the only lamb I could ever stomach was in Mongolia -- no smell and great taste. I just can't handle the smell of the OZ/NZ stuff.
Maybe I'll do a ham, but then there's no gravy. My Thanksgiving turkey came out moist and tender (350* instead of 325*). I might make tart-size pies again. But with different fillings, some I can freeze.
Brussel sprouts -- I love them, but these boneheads don't.
All I know is that I will refuse to do the washing up.
