    May include 6 sprouts to make it seem festive :roll:

    Turkey from a farm just outside the town, roast spuds, parsnips, sprouts, bread sauce, 2 types of stuffing, bacon, chipolatas, gravy, all cooked by me starting at 7.00am. May do a starter, bought Xmas pud. Have made note to self re mulled wine- if putting brandy in it make sure it is actually mulled wine and not slightly warm punch like last year's. I had to retire hurt shortly after lunch.

    I've cooked Christmas dinner for the last 29 years of my marriage apart from one a few years ago when I got the Nora Virus :-)

    The whole family are vegetarian, so typically, Roast Potatoes, Parsnips, Brussells (Not for me), Carrots, Mashed Potato, Stuffing, Veggie Sausages wrapped with Veggie Bacon, Stuffing, Veggie Roast, Cranberry Sauce, Gravy.

    I reckon each of my families plates weigh about 3lb, mine weighs about a 1lb if I'm lucky.

    Love Christmas day with my family, but it's tiring.

    Hmmn velonutter, I have two questions...what flavour gravy do vegetarians have? (I've a feeling vegetable is going to be the obvious answer)..and why the cranberry sauce? I thought cranberry sauce was only to make the turkey palatable, which is why I always have beef for christmas lunch, can't stand bloody turkey.

    Believe it or not but Bisto granules are Vegetarian :mrgreen:

    Typically we eat either a Quorn Roast or in the early days a Chicken Style bake, Cranberry goes down nice with it.

    So apart from the meat alternative our Christmas dinner is like most peoples.

    TPM Quorn bacon is fine if cooked properly.
