Anyone do anything special food wise on Xmas eve? Here it will be pheasant butties (with chips!) and I'll sample some of my whiskey collection. Looking forward to my bottle of Glenrothes!
Chinese take away, probably. Washed down with too much beer and wine, hopefully
a massive plate of spicy chicken Nacho's..
followed by plenty of booze in the pub!
Burritos, Fajitas and Nachos - washed down with a few bottles of Sol
Smoked salmon and pickled eggs !
Home made pizza, happy days.
burritos sounds like a good idea to me...
Lasagne!
We're going for a traditional curry.
Heading out to the pub for ribs and chips.
gammon steak.mmmm
Loads of random buffet nibbles and cake. I'm trying not to eat too much on xmas eve because I want to get drunk.
Reindeer from Aldi, of course!
Our friends are very generous, invite our group of friends over for snacks & a small tipple or two. Good to see everyone even if for an hour, before we all plunge into the family events over the next week
Reindeer and roast veggies
washed down with a nice wine
We make some lobster thermadore, grilled prawns and some nice sourdough bread washed down by a petite chablis.
Christmas eve is always our main christmas meal as we have homemade pizza on the big day which leaves plenty of time to enjoy family time.
One of our pets goes in the pot.

Bouillabaisse this year. Nom nom nom.
possibly fish & chips - no plates involved!
Mrs J is talking of either left squash curry OR chicken & pasta bake.
As she's at work and at the mercy of Network Rail to get back, reduced service after 1pm I'm planning on surprising her with -
Spicy Butternut Squash risotto washed down with a crate of white wine.
Asdas finest nibbs for me and the wife. Tempura prawns, chicken bits etc and mr red stag cherry for moi!!!
Full leg of spicy, garlicky lamb for us, served with lots of rice.
carvery at Warwick castle then walk round grounds weather permitting.
Smoked salmon with creme fraiche and horseradish, brown bread and lobster bisque. No idea why, just tradition in our house.
For tea? Well, I'd imagine I'll have a nice cup of tea.
Dinner, however, will be ham, egg and chips, same as every year.
Roast pork sandwices. Mmmmmm (drools)
(Ignoring "tea")
Buffet type affair at my Grandmas with the family, hot pork & beef sarnies, then on to the pub with uncles/cousins/brother and sis in law. I'll be driving though as work early Christmas Day and don't trust myself not to get drunk.
Same every year, bit of a family tradition. Sausage, mash, beans, greens and onion gravy. Gotta be top quality sausages tho!!!
Pork sausages with caramelised red onion. Mincies. Port.
Haggis Neeps and Tatties here.
A few bottles of Stella to accompany it.
Like the idea of the chip shop. 😀
Posh restraurant booked in town for the eve. Collecting Xmas takeaway curry for Xmas day & Boxing day on the way home. Heaven
I've proposed Tariflette to Mrs Lunge but she is not convinced at the moment. I suspect it will be some kind of seafood, maybe mussels, but we'l have to see what I am instructed to cook.
Whatever it is, I will be forced to attack some good wine to wash it down.
Buffet type nibbles around the roaring chiminea - weather permitting.
Hoping it snows because I'm lighting garden up with Xmas lights.
Lots of gluhwein to keep us warm 🙂
I fancied venison but have had to settle for (cow) steak as no-one else was up for eating Rudolf.
Prawn cocktail, cheese n biscuits, smoked salmon buffet type fodder. Washed down with strong foreign lager/beer (so I'm not feeling rough off the big day).
Merry Christmas one and all!
Chilli
Teriyaki salmon with stir fry veg and mash. So not too stuffed for posh rib of beef on Xmas day.
Cake and Baileys.
Sorry tea / dinner / supper * delete where appropriate 😀
I'm a scouser, so it's tea, but let's not go there....
god knows. maybe a chinese...
May go for an Indian or Chinese
KFC style coated chicken from Aldi.
Maybe a Creme d' Menthe later on.
Lamb Madras, Bombay Aloo, Stuffed Paratha
Rack of Lamb with a rosemary and herb crust/cover with fancy veg and a nice couple of bottles of 01 Shiraz.
Any leftovers will be served on Xmas Day as I now have another guest.
c_g feeding the dispossessed.
🙂
Depends: My Uncle is visiting from Bristol so I imagine we'll go for some food somewhere, probably a curry.
Boeuf Bourguignon here (just about to stick in all together for a nice marinade overnight). One of my faves.
I'm not going to make a fuss........something quick and simple like a Pot Noodle will do.
