Little bit early but am cooking the Christmas dinner this year- 10 people, youngest 12, oldest 82, so a wide range of palates.

Any suggestions welcome, any family favourites you do every year that differs slightly from the norm?

I'm doing the traditional Turkey with all the trimmings.  But also going to have a Spannish Stew (Beef and Chorizo in a rich spicy tomato sauce) on the menu.  I tried it recently for the first time really enjoyed it, made it myself last week for the first time and was really impressed by it, went down well with the rest of the family as well. 

It tastes pretty amazing on the 2nd day as well so if there is any left I have my boxing day dinner sorted too. 

Probably going to serve it with the choice of rice and garlic chips.  Actually making my mouth water right now thinking about it.

I'm cooking for 11 people this year, half of those coming want the leg from the turkey. At one point considered getting 2 turkeys to have enough legs but will draw lots instead.
Likely to have duck with it as well

like last year Aldi did a four bird roast to compete with the Dubai 8? Bird one. This year they have duck legs in but not sure they are Christmassy.
I like the idea of drawing short straws for the legs. 2 with meat on and the rest just bones Smiley

Forget turkey. Get down a real butchers and ask for a rib of beef. Probably a 3 or 4 rib cut for that many punters.

Yum yum.

Could not agree more, that is the traditional Xmas dinner chez Karabiner too.

We tried it about 5 years ago and never gone back since.

I always find that with parties and work dos I am totally turkeyed out by 25th so it's a real treat!  And I get a lovely rib to gnaw on about 9pm with a huge chocolate Labrador looking at me thinking "You fat ginger w***er"!

Top thread this for October.
