What is the best food to have for Christmas dinner?
Answers:
Anything you particularly feel like eating. Why stick with tradition? after all who ever heard of a vegetarian turkey dinner?
Turkey and Ham, don't break tradition!
Turkey with cranberry sauce, ham, stuffing, roast potatoes, peas and nice glass of Coke. Followed by plum pudding with custard. Christ, I've put on three stone just thinking about it!
me and my family never were one for having turkey, we;'d have beef or duck! duck is nice!!!
I got sick of the same old stuff so last year we had a Bar B Q. But I live in the south and the weather was great.
Traditional Roast...that someone else has cooked
order chinese food, its tasty and you wont have to get stressed cooking.
Ham, stewed apples, sweet potato pie
Last year I cooked steak and crab legs. With asparagus, rolls and several bottles of wine. One year I cooked Greek food and one year crab alfredo. Ham and turkey gets boring. This year I am cooking filet of snapper Rome with leek quiche with crab meat, salad, rolls and wine.
Some great suggestions here for a Traditional Christmas Dinner Menu:

ham
Spiral Ham, Scalloped Potatoes, Green Beans or Asparagus, Rolls
Wild duck is the best in my opinion, find them at a good butchers. You can cook one each for adults and half them for children, looks good, tastes good and doesn't require you to carve before serving. Easy to cook and you make the best roasties by draining the fat off half way and using on par-boiled spuds. Add vegetables of your choice and enjoy!!
I am a big fan of duck, like in the move "Christmas Story"
FA RA RA RA RA ....RA RA RA RA!
PRIME RIB ROAST
My mum always makes sausages wrapped in strips of bacon then cooked in the oven, lovely!!!!
ham
Beef Wellington
Traditionally, it should be Turkey, chestnut stuffing, roast potatoes, the whole shabang!
However, if you want to break with tradition, you can't get better than Roast Goose!!! Imagine roast duck? Now double it. At least! Double the size, double the flavour, and the fat it produces is the best thing to roast potatoes in. You'll think you've died and gone to heaven!
I guess you should be finishing that off with some Christmas pudding, and mince pies?
For Xmas I go with a country ham as the main dish.
You know you are going to have leftovers and people running in an out for the next few days and ham can be good on day one and even better in a frittata the next day...or in sandwiches, or etc.
