Xenon4017 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Still haven't decided. ...There will be just me, wife and the chihuahua. Well, in that case your options are a bit limited. Is there such a thing as "breast of chihuahua"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just enough for two I believe:wink:. But what the heck is wrong with a traditional dinner, it's only once a blooming year after all! anything else its just a dinner on a day which is Christmas:frown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an Aussie but our family always had a traditional hot Christmas dinner and when I moved to Queensland, I kept up the tradition for years. Now though, I've been outvoted by the extended family and for years now, it's been cold turkey and salad. Christmas has never been the same since!

I have had dog before and didn't think much of it. And wouldn't get much off ours - barely a serve lol. I did a 9kg Turkey last year! We were eating the damned thing for days.

Paul1Perth Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 We have our Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve. We have turkey, glazed ham, roast spuds, sprouts (I love sprouts), Christmas pudding (homemade). Same things we used to have in the UK tbh. We like to have it then as it frees up the whole of Christmas Day to do what we feel like. We don't have any family here so don't have to be anywhere. We open the presents early, go to the beach by around 9:00am it's usually packed by then but we have friends with a house 2 mins walk from the beach we meet at so park the car at their house. It's about the only day in the year that you can't get a parking spot by the beach after about 8:30am. There are a few friends that we only see a couple of times a year that make it to the beach, it's a great atmosphere with most people having champagne, croissants, beer and the police turn a blind eye as long as no-one is causing trouble. The cops usually come by a couple of times on their beach buggie things but I've never seen them mention not drinking to anyone on Christmas Day. Usually have a few hours at the beach then head off to our friends house for a few more beers and drinks and throw some prawns on the barbie later. Great relaxing day, love Christmas in a warm climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously thinking about a duck or pheasant this year We get a Turkey crown, so only breast meat really, other than that when we had whole turkey we would freeze leftovers in portions for curries later in the year. dogs do well out of it too!

The traditional English dish prior to the introduction of turkey?

Xenon4017 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 peruvian is "traditional" for us as my wife is Peruvian. You'll have trouble getting a reliable source for "cui". I think it's even banned in Qld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Half our family will be overseas but there are still 14 of us in the other half and they are all coming for a trad Christmas Dinner. One daughter does the entrees ( seafood) and I do the turkey , ham and veg. Another daughter does desserts. There will be 6 of our grandchildren and our great grandson. Two others will be in the UK with my other daughter and SIL and my youngest daughter will be in LA to set up her art show. For next Christmas ( 2015) we've already booked a cruise for a change and a rest! If you emigrate the best plan is to breed and create your own extended family- works every time!

Guest Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Turkey, roasties and all the trimmings (especially sprouts), followed by Christmas Pud and custard. Washed down with a couple of bottles of a nice French red, courtesy of ALDI. Then it's time to hit the sofa for a family - friendly movie, or last year's Dr Who Special (in anticipation of the ABC showing this years on Boxing Day.) Forecast is for a nice cool day with a spot of rain in Melbourne on Christmas Day, which makes it easier in the kitchen. Last year it was a scorcher and I reckon I lost a couple of pounds in body weight cooking the roast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milliem Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Low key dinner for us this year as my sister is on call and my son is away. I will just do a roasted glazed ham a rotisserie chicken on the bbq and some salads. Too hot for the roast. Then a float in the pool and a few card games.
