Not a prawn cocktail fan, love a cracker with Pate. Think we're going with Veg soup with brown soda bread and smoked Salman this year

[Livia]

No starter or I'd never manage my Christmas pud. And anyway, prawns aren't kosher, you bloody racist...

[Kate!]

Same as Liv no starter.

[Niamh.]

We spread our meal out over a few hours so there's room for all the courses

[GoldHeart]

Never done a starter before Christmas dinner
