Salmon in a dill sauce in puff pastry ready to bake
With mash/with real butter :lol:
Plus green bean and broad beans
Or pork chop roast potatoes green veg stuffing
And xmas pudding and custard

Oooh I think I'd go for the salmon. The mash swung it for me!

Traditional dinner here, no Christmas pud* though as I couldn't find one without alcohol which was what I needed due to my sister so there's a Sicilian lemon tart and I'm making Eton Mess as well. I'm hoping that most of them will want Eton Mess so that there's more tart for me later.

* I lie. There are two individual ones which I will eat at another time.

I love anything with lemons, Saundra. If you offered me a choice of a chocolate pudding or a lemon pudding I'd go for the lemon with no hesitation.

Think I'd go for the salmon too Saundra, it sounds more special, but you can decide tomorrow :)

Asparagus to start.
Rib of Dexter beef cooked on the bone (like a giant steak), wild rocket, thin fries, bearnaise sauce (bought).
Gu chocolate and vanilla cheesecakes.

Jo I would choose the lemon as well! :D :D

Saundra those choices both sound delish! 8-)

We are not having a starter this time, as I have so many 'sides' to go with the turkey! I have pigs in blankets, lemon and thyme stuffing balls, roast spuds, mashed swede and carrots, sprouts, mini yorkie puds and turkey gravy!! For pud I have several choices - Xmas pud, or mince pie, or caramel cheesecake or trifle :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: There is also an extensive cheeseboard with grapes :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Di, I would've got both. John and Joe's first choice choice would've been chocolate and Tom would've gone for lemon like me.

Lots of lovely food there Kaz. It's roast parsnips which I look forward to the most.

Saundra, my sausage rolls are done.
