Well its in the oven so no picture but a 5lb turkey breast, with a piece of belly pork to give us crackling and some tasty fat for gravy. Pigs in blankets, stuffing (sausage and sage & onion), cheesy leeks, suede and carrot mash, sprouts, cabbage, runner beans, broccoli, cauliflower, Yorkshires. Happy days.

We had an M&S duck with M&S sossies-in-bacon, stuffing etc
They do a decent gluten-free range of christmas foods
But when we collected it all on Monday they forgot to give us the christmas cake
So they sent it up the next day, 25 miles, by taxi !!!

Now waiting for it to be time to take the MiL home so I can get sozzled after

I'm stuffed! my bro's fiancée made a ham and we ordered an m&s turkey with all the trimmings, still got pud to go but not got any room!

Have just got back home after My meal in the local pub which was dreadful. Even worse than I expected it to be (it was my sister-in-laws idea which we went along with). Never again.

Real Christmas food looks like the pictures above. What we had looked more like road kill. After 1.5hrs between courses the desert finally arrived with the excuse 'sorry but we only have two microwaves'. I think that summed it all up for me. :evil:

I will be doing it myself next year to make sure we get something decent to eat!!

Just back from brothers, we supplied the meat (obviously) and we had a copas turkey, big gammon and all the trims.

The brother in law made a toblerone cheese cake that was epic.
