In all honesty? Probably just a frozen pizza or maybe a can of soup. I don’t really know

>>15271150
i have work for five in the morning the day after so probably just some canned fish and bread for lunch and then drink myself to sleep lurking christmas threads for evening.
not sadposting btw, just a wagie. i have my fun in the summer when my money looks good and travel is cheap. hope you guys have a really nice holiday

>>15271150
roast for mom and lasagna for dad, i told him i was going to make the noodles from scratch this year, but i'm not.

I'm making slow roasted pork shoulder for my mum and uncle

>>15271471
Do you have a pasta roller? There's nothing to it. Even rolling out by hand isn't that big a deal.

doing a faux British Christmas, with roast beast, Yorkshire pudding, salmon wellingtons, sausage rolls, even a Mart Berry Christmas pudding....finding actual suet around here is a bitch

I think ham is a boring food to have to eat on christmas. Even turkey is better. I wish we ate whole cows on christmas or something.

Roast Goose
Roast potatoes
Honey roast parsnips
Balsamic roast carrots
Braised red cabbage
Sprouts with chestnuts and bacon
Pork and apricot stuffing
Pigs in blankets
Yorkshire puddings
Bread sauce
Cranberry sauce
Gravy

I have cured a side of salmon so we will have Gravadlax, possibly as a starter. It depends what guests bring with them. Desserts also supplied by guests.

I also have a rib of beef and a gammon in the fridge. Will make a honey and spiced wine glaze for the gammon. Not sure about the beef just yet.

>>15271150

>>15271150
Gazpacho + Onion Bread with Butter, as an entree
Main dish is Beef Wellington with Lettuce + Ceasar dressing
Dessert is just homemade Lemon Sorbet

Was thinking about adding some Roasted Potatoes to the main course but i'm still on the fence about it.

>>15272169

Gazpacho mentioned made me think of delicious salmorejo. I wonder if there's some kind of Andalusian Christmas soup.

>>15271977
What are some other traditional Christmas dinner components in Sweden? (So I can read about them on Wikipedia before I pass out in bed.) Merry Christmas! Sounds lovely!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jansson%27s_temptation

>>15271150
i'll just be having McDonalds or whatever else is open

>>15272283
Well there's dopp-i-grytan. Dipping bread in the ham broth.
Also raw spiced salmon and cabbage pudding are the other major components I'm missing this year.

Ireland

I know the meats going to be roast beef and beyond that I've not a notion. Staying with my Dad this year and he's a classically trained chef, did his apprenticeship around Europe, so whatever it is I'm looking forward to it.

When I go to my mams for Christmas I do the dinner because jesus christ almighty she can't cook, last year was.

Starter
>Salads and smoked salmon w/homemade bread

Main
>Turkey
>Ham
>Duck
>Turnips
>Roast potatoes
>Roadt parsnips
>Peas

All the leftover meat got made into pies the next day and put in the freezer as easy meals for my.brother and sister.

Roast beef is a very upper class christmas dish. The tradition is turkey for middle class people. Its not a new tradition either as some would believe, its been eaten since the 16th century when it was first brought over. Poor people would have a goose. I think most just eat turkey now.

I'll be celebrating Christmas alone for the first time, as I was busy working up until this morning. I didnt make time to drive out to see family.

Food for the day will be:
1. homemade bone broth soup with noodles,
2. steak with potatoes, mushrooms, and peppers
3. a light sparkling wine

I might take some spiritual fungus earlier in the day to reflect on my place in life. Work has me a bit burned out. Happy Holidays.

I'm French and my wife is Brazilian. Christmas is cancelled this year so it's just us. We're making:
- Caviar and vodka for appetizers
- Salpicao for starters
- Roast duck (with a pork, cranberry and crumbs-based farce) accompanied by Dauphinois Gratin for main dish, with pinot noir
- Brazilian pave and praline buche for dessert, with gewurztraminer
- vodka shot for digestive. I wanted a calvados but it's impossible to find them in this shithole of a country.

I usually do my ducks confit'd, so I hope I don't mess up the farce too much, nor the toothpick ties on the bird. At least I'll only have to disappoint 2 people if I mess up.

i'm going to make this

Dessert will be an apple crumble.

this thread needs this
https://youtu.be/pzK3_MA1Al4

England here. Was planning to go to my parents but locked down with the gf instead. Went and bought bits to cook xmas lunch. First time doing the whole thing myself and cocked up timings last time so need to plan it properly. I bought myself a meat thermometer which arrived today which should be good.

For breakfast it's be smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on some nice bread served with bucks fizz (English sparkling wine + freshly squeezed OJ) For lunch:

-A turkey, probably either going to spatchcock this and maybe seperate the legs / wings and cook it like that. Brining it tomorrow. Basically doing Bon Appetit recipe from the cringy thanksgiving series last year.
-A ham, I usually do a big one from scratch but this is a ready made one from the supermarket, I think it just needs to be baked and glazed. It looks OK but it's very lean.
-Pork, apple and cranberry stuffing, pigs in blankets, streaky smoked bacon
-Roast potatoes in goosefat
-Roast pasnips and carrots glazed with honey and dijon mustard
-Sliced brussel spouts pan fried with diced bacon and horse chestnuts

I'll probably buy some green or french beans as it's a bit lacking on veg. Also might google a gravy recipe, I've got all the prerequisite ingredients to knock something up (wine, giblets, some amazing chicken stock in the freezer, butter, herbs, flour etc.)

>>15276208
Right, should mention I live in Victoria,BC and for drinks I have set aside a 2017 bottle of Old Cellar Dweller and Wheat Wine from Driftwood Brewery and I also have a bottle of Taylor Fladgate and some nice witbier but the two specialty beers may be more than enough.
Gonna be alone in my apartment but will be in voice chat with the gamer bros all day and probably call family and my ex-girlfriend at some point.

I might pinch this. Your dinner sounds great.

>>15274200

Good luck, it sounds tasty.

>>15275783
>>15276195
Merry Christmas anon.

>>15276127
>Dauphinois gratin
My nigga. I like confit duck but roast is nice too. Can always save the rendered fat for future confit.

>>15276315
thank you anon

>>15276253
Red cabbage would be my choice of additional veg with that lot.

There are quite a few Jamie Oliver Christmas programs on More4 you can watch for the gravy and turkey.

I'm doing very similar menu, and I'll prep most of it tomorrow. For timings, I'll cook the turkey. Once that's out potatoes go in the oven. Estimate about an hour for potatoes so everything else goes in the oven based on the potatoes taking an hour. Then everything should be ready at the same time.

>>15276315
Yeah the balsamic carrots are nice.

I didn't really want to cook Christmas Dinner. Its for my wife's family and I was hoping they wouldn't come because of lockdown. My wife said she would do it but would be completely incapable as she can't cook for shit. If I dont step in and do it from the start she will only come looking for help on the day once she's fucked it all up.

>>15276322
That's a great suggestion actually. I'm not that keen on it myself but the gf is a big fan and I didn't realise she's not massively into turkey until after I bought it, so it seems fair. I'm hoping the turkey ends up good and because I've got a meat thermometer and I'm brining it there's no excuses for it being dry.
Thanks for the hints on the timing, that makes sense. Gives the meat time to rest and means there's enough space in the oven for everything else.

>>15276364
Yeah im not a turkey fan. My mother subjected me to years of overcooked christmas turkey with not a single gram of salt or pepper. Once I started cooking my own Christmas dinner I vowed to not do turkey at any point. Its normally some combination of duck, goose, beef and gammon.

>>15276314
cheese course after the main is pretty standard, nothing canadian about it. But yeah, it's not really dessert per se

Oh god, it will take the whole holiday to get back into shape again :D

Grilled ham mustard glazed.
Jansons frestelse, i think it only exist where i live.
Meatballs, cocktail sausage, herring spiced in all flavours.
Salmon raw spiced and also smoked.
Cooked potatoes of-cource.
Salads of all different kinds.
Grilled ribs.
Eggs, kaviar ...

>>15276408
>But yeah, it's not really dessert per se
That's the only part I was pointing out.

>>15271150
I bought a beef tenderloin primal and just (shittily) butchered it into a roast and a few steaks and some scraps. Going to make steak and eggs for breakfast and the roast for dinner. The sides (rice, salad and bread) will be simple as we are simple people. It's just for me and two roommates. The scraps will be fajitas or cheesesteaks this weekend.

>>15276392
Yeah your menu sounds decent, good luck with it. Did you only buy one goose? I say this because they really shrink a lot when you roast them. End up a similar size to a duck. You've got the ham and beef rib as well though I guess so should be alright. I'm stealing those balsamic carrots for sure, how do you do them?

>>15271150
I'd like to have the traditional Japanese Christmas dinner that is Kentucky Fried Chicken but they're all fucking closed that day.

Spiral sliced honey glazed ham
Mashed potatoes
Spring peas
Roasted carrots
Pumpkin pie

All the ingredients come from my garden, except the ham, ofc. I've been saving the peas in my freezer since June :3

>>15276917
Hams are relatively easy to raise, you could give it a try. They eat damn near anything, no need to put your food leftovers in the trash ever again among other things which is nice.
You can also raise ducks and chicken yourself, also rather easy, as well as rabbits.
Goats are fine, too.
Cows are a much bigger pain, they require a lot of maintenance and a lot of manual handling depending on what you're aiming for specifically. Not worth it.

Guys I just want to say thanks for everything this year and this thread seemed the best place to do so, lord knows this years not been easy on anyone.

I'm heading to bed now to get ready for everything tomorrow and I usually avoid the internet from Christmas Eve until the new year just for a chance to unwind from all the crazy.

Merry Christmas to all of you, I hope that whether you're with family or alone you have an incredible day and here's to a better 2021.

>>15271150
We need an Italy only thread here on Christmas Day since we own this place.

Oh you're right I didn't open the image, just (foolishly) assumed. I'll go back to the peasants' quarters.

Italy

Entrees:

Needless to say that Christmas lunch with my family starts at 12.30 and it’s “over” at 18:30, but actually it never finishes because there’s always something to eat until it’s 23:00 and it’s time to go home.

>>15271150

Goddamn spell check, beef rouladen

>>15277376
I love how you guys eat. I bought a cookbook from a 1st generation itallian american and it describes her grndparents phillosophy on apertifs and digestivs. Her grandparents would never eat anything too hot or too cold. Italian americans have their own food which is over blown and it is great. Have you ever heard of fritelles? It was my favorite appatizer at a place that closed. It was fried dough with I think fontina cheese in the middle, served with marinara

US
Im making braised beef short ribs, cheesy grits and asparagus. Parents are bringing shriimp cocktail, bread, pickle wraps and some strawberry cake a bakery makes that he has had his eye on

>>15277441
>fritelles

Yes, there are many variants depending on where you eat them, as always here.

The ones you used to eat sounds like “pizzelle”, basically fried pizza dough shaped into balls or small pizza with tomato sauce on top and basil. Usually the cheese is skipped but it really depends on the place and who makes them.

My favourite variant is fried pizza dough with minced seaweed.

>>15277531
Thanks for replying. These were a fried dough with a texture between pizza and pastry with cheese, which I think was fontina. It was basically a ball of cheese wrapped in a light fried dough. Sound familiar at all?

We're; nly two this year so it will be Fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken, garlic bread and some salad.

>>15277554
Your description reminds me of an obscure dish you’ve never heard of called “Sciatt” but it doesn’t have pizza dough, it’s literally a cube of cheese covered in a batter made with buckwheat flour and deep fried.

https://youtu.be/8Ul51b9CSF8

Of course it’s unrelated to your request but long story short: you may have found a variation/custom variant of fried pizza dough “pizzelle” or whatever they’re called in the dialect of the region/town the recipe you tried was adapted from. There’s no coded recipe for that dish.

Another chance is that they’re a variation of the classic Panzerotto with a different shape.

>>15277694
Thanks for the pics and the effort. Ill try and figure it out. Honestly, warmest wishes for you and your family. Have a good holliday

>>15277727

I'm trying to get into the kitchen to start the potatoes au gratin and beef stock for gravy but my sister and her faggot boyfriend keep making sweets that nobody but my dad will eat. Since this morning. I shopped and took a nap just came back down and she's baking something. I hope they're OK with cookies and sweet shit for dinner because I can't get into the fucking kitchen

>>15280930
>brings me back to childhood
Sure does, i just wish the oven was a bit bigger when time comes to heat everything up at the same time

>>15280944
>very based. i hope to make blini sometime soon
Can recommend they are really good, just make sure to find a recipe for blinis that look like pancakes instead of crepes (theres to kinds for some reason). I make small blinis (8cm cross) because it's easier/faster to fry those. Also sourdough instead of bakers yeast, the sourness goes well with the buckwheat.

>>15280914
Damn, that's a helluva feast! Everything sounds delicious. Why don't you ever speak up when anons start ragging on scandinavian food?

Bongistan

Smoked salmon with dill creme fraiche to start, then roast rib of beef with wild mushroom, marsala wine and cream sauce, yorkshire puddings, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes and parsnips, carrots, red cabbage, sprouts sauteed with chestnuts and bacon, and I'm probably forgetting something else so that too. Tiramisu for dessert because christmas pudding is overrated.

Cause im from finland and everything i listed has been stolen from some other country anyway.

My family always gets a ton of sushi on Christmas eve and we drink lots of sake and beer. We're not Italian but my mom jokes that it counts as the feast of the seven fishes.

>>15282154
>never knew you guys liked trail mix and fish so much.

>>15286053
after trimming and searing i covered it in an herb butter and put it on a bed of onions.

>>15286059
After cooking for about an hour at 270F this is the result.

Butter drippings and onions were used as the base of a red wine sauce.

had some eggs orsini alongs blocks of butter and cheese with a few pickles. and a glass of milk late, oh, and a slab of roasted mince. basically, the usual plus a rare lunch of actual prepare food

>>15286062

Honeybaked ham and pumpkin pie and apple tart with crusts featuring real butter. the rest is rubbish if im being honest

So much of this stuff looks great.

Our Christmas dinner is quite a traditional (I think?) Scottish Christmas dinner.

First up is broccoli and stilton soup

>>15289093
Then we had very retro prawn cocktail

>>15289096
And for the main course we had:
Turkey
Stuffing
Brussel sprouts pan fried with pancetta
Braised red cabbage
Honey roasted carrots
Pigs in blankets
Cheese wrapped in bacon
Roast potatoes
Mashed potatoes
Gravy (not pictured)
Cranberry sauce

Dessert was a pear trifle but I was too wasted to take a picture

>>15271150
15oz rib eye with Demi glace red wine pan sauce.

>>15289575
Your pan sauce is quite a bit too thick but I'll allow it for the sake of those potatoes, nice job on those.

>>15271451
>that empty bottle right by his shoulder

Ohio

Fuckin christmas man.
