Plan at the moment is...

Melon starter (for -HH- read Pate with toast - fussy bugger ;) )
Turkey with lemon and thyme, beef, tons of roast potatoes, sprouts, cabbage, carrot and turnip, corn on the cob for Mark, Yorkshires, parsnips.

For dessert, strawberries and creme chantilly in a brandy snap basket, possibly with chocolate sauce dribbled over.  Fussy arse can have a banana split.

Obviously mince pies with cream after.

Never done a family christmas dinner before so i'm making it up as I go along.

Does lemon go with Turkey? Not criticising or anything, just never heard of that before.
From custard slices to menstrual waste in 4 posts. That's impressive, even for RAWK.

Fucking hell Delia, how many turkeys have you cooked ;)

Providing its rind /a bit of juice rather than stuffed with whole lemons then it goes tasty well indeed :wave

I see that Nigella program and the joint of ham boiled in ginger beer and covered looked lovely. Might attempt that too.

I saw that too; I've got the ham, all I need now is the recipe! Anyone able to help?

HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAY!!!!





If anyone is interested, here's the recipe:

Ginger Glazed Ham Recipe
courtesy Nigella Lawson, 2007
See this recipe on air Sunday Dec. 23 at 10:30 AM ET/PT.

Show: Nigella Express
Episode: Holiday Snaps

1 (12-pound) joint (mild cure boneless) ham
7 quarts dry ginger ale
1 cup chunky ginger preserves
2 tablespoons hot English mustard
1/2 cup soft dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Cook's Note: If you can not get hold of ginger preserves, you can use ordinary orange marmalade and add 1 teaspoon of dry, ground ginger.


Place the joint in a large pan over the hob, or burner, and add 7 quarts of dry ginger ale. Bring the pan to the boil then lower the heat slightly so that it keeps bubbling steadily for 4 1/2 hours.
Towards the end of the 4 1/2 hours, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and begin the glaze.

In a bowl, add 1 cup of chunky ginger preserves. Stir in 2 tablespoons of hot English mustard. Add 1/2 a cup of soft, dark brown sugar and sprinkle in 1/2 a teaspoon of ground cloves.

After 4 1/2 hours, gently lift the ham out of the pan and place on a foil-lined baking tray. Carefully cut away the skin, leaving a thin layer of fat. There is no need to score the surface, simply slap on the glaze and place the tray with the ham into the oven for 20 minutes.

Serve hot or cold.

Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 4 hours 50 minutes
Yield: 8 to 10 servings

I am actually quite scared to eat tomorrow. I weigh 187 pounds right now and my waistline is 36 inches. Too boot, my abdomen feels quite soft and my back hurts a bit, all signs of over-indulgence the past few weeks.

I need help.

I've never really liked stollen UNTIL we went on a trip to the German xmas markets a couple of years ago. One stall had freshly made stollen which was still warm. It was absolutely fecking gorgeous. We washed it down with warm mulled wine.  :lickin

Christmas Eve- a huge fuck off paella.
Christmas Day- only a small crown of turkey to keep my dad happy; the rest of us will be having a mixture of pork with my patented crackling, a leg of lamb roasted with garlic, a duck or two and a rib of beef.
Starters will be a mixture of various tapas, like chorizo and a few types of seafood; main course will have roasted peppers and garlic along with the usual vegetables (we have one or two traditionalists with us this year), paprika-dusted spuds (roasted) and various gravies.
I wish to come to your house, even though the roast wild boar downstairs smells outstanding, as does the starter of scallops and , cod cheeks in garlic and cream.  Pain surprise and champers to start.  Huge gigantic cheese platter after, followed by a buche or 9.  The dad in law has been down to the cellar for some class bottles of plonk and I feel the warm glow of anticipation all over.

As a newly initiated vegan, I'm mostly being a pain in the arse this Christmas ;D Not a chance of over-indulgence with my stuffed red pepper (stuffed with rice, mushrooms, sweetcorn and sun-dried tomatoes for anyone who's arsed). I'm having some traditional veg and a little bit of stuffing, too.

I'm not having a starter or any pud, so I dunno what they're having.

turkey, yorkshire, boiled potatos, roast potatos, cabbage, stuffing, gravy, sausage with bits of bacon wrapped around them, sprouts, carrots...

and soon I'll be having my second christmas meal of the day thanks to the joy of divorced parents. After I've taken a couple of hours to chill out, go on the computer and stop myself from vomiting at the sheer volume of food me Dad and Gran have forced at me today.

Merry Christmas all...

How do you have it Rob?

Seen a few suggestions of having it warm and even toasted with butter.

We have already eaten half of it as it comes straight from the pack.  But open to other suggestions.
