Christmas day lunch ideas

[Ladyshopper]

i like quorn the best, i don't really like the tesco meat free range at all,
we also sometimes have cauldron
i think they tend to make vegetarian food highly flavoured to compensate for no meat
we prefer quorn to other brands

I'm the same, love the quorn mince and use it in lots of things, but tried the tesco mince stuff and even the kids refused it!

Well I have decided on a gammon joint for main course, can sit in the slow coker til OH gets back from family visit, roast pots and parsnips and veg.
Smoked salmon, crab, lobster, prawns and caviar starter, love hearing everyone elses plans.

Gosh arent you lot a posh lot? For me Christmas dinner is just a glorified Roast, we'll be having chicken with all the trimmings. Hubby gets a humungous free turkey from work every year but after freezing most of it one year and then not fancying it when it was defrosted (not very moneysaving I know) we now give it to a very good friend of mine who has her 7 for dinner and I know she will get every last scrap off it then boil the bones for stock, feel much happier doing this and as she is a brilliant cook I get some home cooked goodies in return.

Feel like I should make more of an effort now, might knock up a prawn coctail as well.
