Christmas food

My Slavic food. If I've got my boršč and koláči then I'm good to go.

 

My family always does a big Italian feast for Christmas dinner. Usually it's antipasto, pasta, salad, main course, dessert, and then tea/coffee/ouzo/cognac. A lot of wine. The main course is different every year. This is a big deal in my family, my cousins and uncle work on Christmas dinner literally starting in August. And Christmas baking! My Nana makes these coconut doughballs with a maraschino cherry inside, 90% will be red cherries, the rest are green and we always try to get the green ones!

I.Love.Christmas.Dinner.So.Freaking.Much!

 

We make ham with potatoes, a whole bunch of pies, and such. Including a Suet Pudding/Christmas Pudding that my Dad makes.

 

Mashed potatoes are yummmmmmmy

 

Candy canes all the way.

 

I'm vegan. That pretty much put a stop to christmas food.

 

We make food ourselves. It could be a cake, pie, a pastry, anything. And we don't really follow traditional recipes, so.. :icon_bigg

 

I'm not a fan of most Christmas food being vegetarian. And even though I'm not religious I celebrate Hanukkah with friends every year. So matzo ball soup is a favorite of mine.

 

Usually ham, potatoes and numerous pies. This year, since it'll be just my partner and I with the house to ourselves, we're doing roasted Cornish game hens.

 

the stuffed turkey with what we call Jiggs Dinner. Potatoes, cabbage, turnip, carrot, parsnip and salt cured beef all boiled in the same pot. the vegetables not the turkey or course. treats include the usuall, candy canes, chocolate, my Grand Mothers dark fruit cake that i get from my brother's bakery (he uses her recipe)

 

Advent Calender chocolate.

 

Food as a whole is my favourite food.

 

I haven't really thought about what i'd be eating for Christmas... Maybe a pizza, or steak, and spaghetti. Since, why not... It's not like food is all that important, it's who you eat it with, that matters. That being said, i'm planning on eating alone, in my room.

 

Candy canes

 

am not grate with turkey just tastes bland to me I usually ask for lamb or something which usually Pisses my mum & Dad off . love making mince pies I remember once I bought the wrong mince from the butchers I was 9 at the time

 

Lots and lots of chocolate! And homemade eggnog. And turkey, mashed potatoes, pies, and everything else.

Ham
Ale (outside of October, November, and December I typically drink lager)
Sugar cookies
Sweet potato
Anything Pumpkin (October, November, and December)

My sister is such a film geek she wants to go out for Chinese for Christmas Dinner. Grandma is committing the foul sin of cooking turkey for Christmas, and I don't get near enough good Chinese food, so I'm joining my sister.

 

Here's how you fix your turkey. Don't ever stuff it. Stuffing "kills" turkeys, just dries it out. Instead, stuff that turkey's cavity full of fucking vegetables. And then, butter and herb that bitch, under and on the skin. You flash cook it for about an hour and then lower the heat to finish.

Bam, moist flavorful turkey with turkey fat infused veg that's perfect for making gravy.

 

My family's Christmas dinners are very traditional - turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, ham, veggies, rolls, pumpkin pie or trifle as dessert, all whilst wearing tissue paper crowns from Christmas crackers lol.
