I'm doing 2 Christmas Dinners this year, we're having Gavins homemade Vegetable Soup for a starter for the 2nd one but I'm looking for ideas for Starters for the first one if anyone has some suggestions. I'd like something with fish but not Prawn cocktail

Scallops. Sea Bass. Crispy fried squid. Tuna stakes.

Smoky salmon tartare with lemon and capers
If you love serving smoked salmon for a Christmas starter, this is a great
modern twist. The salmon is finely chopped and tossed in a fragrant dressing of
lemon, shallots and capers. Serve with thin slices of melba toast.

Soup and a buttered bread roll for starter

Turkey dinner with all the usual trimmings.

Not decided if I'll have a pudding yet. I may just have a piece of coffee cake.

Some wine with my dinner.

I'll be getting pissed before that to build up an appetite. A couple of Manhattens and a few brown ales.

After dinner I shall put on The Ten Commandments and fall asleep to it in my recliner.

Smoked Salmon and Cream cheese mousse

Thanks for the suggestions :love:

Not sure if we will bother with a starter

So Turkey and Ham with all the trimmings

Home made Pavlova for pudding

also Christmas pudding if anyone wants it

Coffee

White/red wine

We'll probably go with that for Dessert too as it's Gav's favourite and Luke makes apple pies

Good choice!

.

Starter - Prawn Cocktail

Main - Full Turkey dinner

Pud - Pavlova

after pud - cheeseboard and crackers

Drink - Sherry before and then a lovely Chablis

and yes i do wear my hat :hee:

Thanks Cherie :love:

Yes I wear my hat too :hee:

I don't even buy crackers, I've only got my brother coming for lunch and we're crackers enough without pulling anymore.

Get pissed
Stuff our faces
Flake out

That's the schedule.

Sounds pretty good to me!

Starter......none.

Main. Turkey. Pork and roast beef. Yorkies and suet puds, lashings of gravy andloads of assorted veggies.

Pud...........all too full.
But a couple of posh cakes and puds to choose from.

after pud
Probably eat chocs if there is any room.

Drink coffee.

and do you wear your cracker hat?
Of course we do.

Melba toast and salmon pate

Or fan of melon

We will have 2 Xmas dinners

Xmas day

Starter - Soup
Main - Steak
Dessert - Mixture of mini desserts I think

Boxing Day

Starter - Fan of melon
Main - turkey, beef and all the trimmings
Desser - Gateau

I never bother with a starter .

It will just be
Turkey & Ham with all the trimmings
And a nice wine
And maybe Bailey's later or something
I don't have pudding until a few days later , usually too full from Christmas roast dinner

Steak on Christmas day :omgno:

Smoke Salmon and salad starter
Fillet Steak main
Christmas pud sweet

followed by cheese and biscuits and mince pies

lots of alcohol .... i have a very fine whisky that will make an appearance

There's two of you D:

Unless you're going to Josys for Xmas day

i eat chicken and fish regularly, and steak rarely, so for me a steak on Christmas day is much more of a treat than turkey ever could be :smug:

:laugh:
