Christmas Lunch.

[Tamagotchi]

So its that time of the year again.
What's for lunch?
My ideas so far...
Turducken (never had it before but looks tasty)
Roast pork
Prawns (in a spicy, thick butter,lemon,sweet chilli sauce)
Yellowtail (on the braai)

Home made bread
Pasta salad (shells)
Green salad
Steamed vegetables
Spicy rice.

Anyone else has some ideas that I could maybe copy?

Yeah. Was also thinking about the tukey. Just never had one that wasn't completely dried out. Any ideas on keeping it juicy?

Put the turkey in a braai dish with lid, spice to liking, put in the oven on low heat and cook for 4 hours

Thanks.
I could maybe put it on the braai or uncovered in the oven for maybe 15 minutes to get that grilled look and taste, am I right?

Its going on a spit which tends to keep things juicy but if you regularly apply the cranberry sauce it should seal the moisture inside.
But I am not a chef.

 

[Kornhub]

Probably a gammon and turducken

Well, I am spending Christmas alone once again this year. Mom and brother are going away, and I can't really go and leave my dogs alone.

How is a turducken? Those things you buy from CHeckers Hyper right? Do they have bones in? Does it taste nice? I want to make a nice roast, with roast potatoes, rice, gravy, spinach and butternut for myself. I will buy spinach / butternut from woolies lol! But will make the roast and the roast potatoes myself

Yes exactly, also cover in olive oil before hand!

I'm not a big fan. I would rather have roast lamb or beef.

Duck is also nice if done right.

 

[RanzB]

Same as most years probably, which means;
Mutton Curry
Butter Chicken
Turkey + Stuffing
Maybe Roast Lamb
Gammon
Prawns
Roast Potatoes + asst other veg
Roti
Rolls
Rice
Beer
Wine

Sleep

I never had it before, but seen it at the shops. Does it have bones in, or is it deboned already? I like duck, and lamb and pork

Pick n Pay has a special on Pekin Duck now for r49/KG. Thinking of buying one and saving it for the day.

A lot of meat, salads and then a lot of booze.

1 Kg of Fillet wrapped in bacon and "painted" with some cranberry juice concoction.
Freshly baked potbread with real butter and jam.
Pumpkin pie.
Roasted veggie skewers.

that will be mains, starters and dessert but I will probably go for something fruity for dessert and something more traditional for starters, perhaps a seafood flavour.
