[Ockie]

Mom is doing the Gamon, I am making the potato salad and sis is doing the Trifle and green salad.

Wow, haven't had that in YEARS!!! I'll add that to the menu.

And dont be stingy with the alcohol in it. No one likes a dry trifle....or the person that made it.

My Pre-Christmas lunch I did was:

Butternut and Lentil boboti (a hit)
Potato Bake
Pumpkin Fritters

Dessert was Eve's pudding (like a bread and butter pudding but with Croissants).

There was nothing left and only happy smiles and full tummies

Looking for a menu for Christmas day...

Wanted to have a nice braai but Mother in-law said no. She wants roast or something... (Yea, she's at our place for Christmas).

A few years after I married into The English, I tried to pull this trick and had a braai for Christmas day, The Englsh went along with it...on boxing day I awoke to the smell of Roast Lamb,Gammon and Flightless birds, HO's mother in law , entertained my idiotic xmas braai for the day and then had a traditional xmas dinner on the 26th...

:erm:

 

[DominionZA]

Our menu starts on Christmas eve.
Big braai on Christmas eve, then traditional Christmas lunch on the 25th.
I always gain a bit of weight over these 2 days. Too much yummy food.

 

[Spamhater]

I'm having fish and chips from the local fisheries tonight as for tomorrow I'm having the whole family +- 40 people for Christmas lunch so it's going to be a lot of meat cooking tonight for me , and even my sister is flying down Durban tomorrow morning . That what make Christmas so special having the whole family together.

I was considering making those as well but I've only got a pint of maple syrup (the good stuff) left so I'm skipping them.

 

[wizardofid]

We decided the hell with the traditional menu of roasts and stuff, seriously ridiculous prices of roasts as well

Making the following from scratch, for the 25th

Chicken sweet corn soup/with prawn spring roll

Chicken chow mein
Sweet and Sour Prawn
Sweet and Sour Pork
Rice and egg noodles.

Bow tie

Quite the opposite - that's why I can tell the difference.

We normally do the glazed ham, salt beef, roast chicken thing, but we got lazy this year and are throwing some chops, sosaties, wors and bum-on-fire-peri-peri chicken wings on some post-incineration wood remnants.

We have kept the dessert menu, Mom's infamously famous baked fruit cocktail pudding with custard and a strawberry cheesecake I'm hacking together with the arc-welder later today.

Different desserts but same for us this year.

We normally have the Christmas Eve big roast dinner with the in-laws (we alternate the venue) and then a moerse feast at my mom's place.

This year we decided to be different as my mother-in-law is not too well so we don't want her slaving away in the kitchen (even though she wanted to do so).

So I'll be loading up my braai drums and taking it to their place this morning....
