Christmas Dinners -

[Hongourable Madisha]

Whatever meat you're having, make a side dish of stewed red cabbage with apples, onions, red wine, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and star anise. Essentially it's like having mulled wine, cranberry sauce and Brussels sprouts all in one.

I don't remember christmas day but eve we always snack on stuff including cannibal sandwhiches

Caught some salmon this week for Christmas. Two 3-pounder, and two 2 4-pounders I've kept frozen from last year. I've got some Founder's KBS I've been saving since '15. It's going to be lit.

As the pattern goes:
-Turkey for Thanksgiving
-Ham for Christmas
-Another turkey for New Year's
-Wait 'till Easter, ham again

Making my parents buffalo wings for lunch and slow cooker mississippi pot roast for dinner this year. Can't go wrong with pot roast

 

[Lame Entropy]

My family's never been too big on traditional holiday food so we'll probably barbeque.

 

[Quantum Diabetes]

I will have a festive whatever is in my fridge and probably sugarfree Kool-aid, followed by a seasonal wintergreen wad of dip or maybe a camel crush.

We always did Christmas as like Thanksgiving lite. Stuffing, green beans, gravy, sweet potatoes, maybe cranberry sauce? And either ham or turkey.
I've always gone to family for Christmas, so I don't really have any "Christmas specials". I need to come up with something for this year, so I'm glad to see this thread. I'd like to make different stuff than what I grew up with.

I'm tentatively planning on making lamb - I've been meaning to try this recipe where you sous-vide it with grapes. I sort of want to make something with sweet potato or pumpkin but I haven't decided what yet. I might make the sausage stuffing I made for Thanksgiving again. And I want to do some stuff with cranberry sauce, like cranberry meatballs or cranberry brie bites. Maybe some devilled eggs for appetizers.
Roasted brussels sprouts are an easy thing I make a lot already but there's probably no harm throwing them in to make it a bigger meal. If you have a spiralizer, an offbeat thing to do is spiralize the carrots and cook them in butter with garlic (I hate cooked carrots, but found them surprisingly pleasant this way). Also I'd give your guests all the dessert drink options to really impress. Classy menu!

Whatever meat you're having, make a side dish of stewed red cabbage with apples, onions, red wine, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and star anise. Essentially it's like having mulled wine, cranberry sauce and Brussels sprouts all in one.

This sounds like a really good idea, I think I'm going to steal this.

there's an Asian market in my town that has roast Peking ducks for sale. Since paydays the Monday before Christmas I'm debating on buying one but ill have to eat it on that same day and not Christmas itself since the Peking duck is best when it's hot and fresh. otherwise im not sure what to make for christmas proper. Maybe anice thick juicy steak and shrimp with garlic and herb mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus.

My family has never done much special for Christmas dinner, but for lunch we do steak, eggs, and fancy potatoes. Not exactly traditional, but whatever. It's good times.

funny thing i read all that in coop's voice...yes even all these years later and with cartoon network refusing to release the show in any format i still remember what the characters sounded like.

They never can, for legal reasons. They (allegedly) lost money on it, and wrote it off.

I'm on christmas dinner duty this year and I'm making pot roast, too. I may not be the greatest or most confident cook but this is a recipe I find to be pretty idiot proof.

We have Christmas brunch instead of Christmas dinner... except it takes place at dinnertime.

Eggs Benedict
Hasselback potatoes
Roasted asparagus
Mimosas

 

[nekrataal]

The dinners I have with my parents are different than what the rest of the family like to have. I like to have things like venison tamales and rabbit stew with squash and corn.

 

[VIPPER?]

for christmas dinner I'm gonna have steamed buns (the chink kind full of cabbage and shit) and a 1.5l bottle of wine. maybe some ancient salted frozen fish

 

[horrorfan89]

was at my mas place she made leg of lamb; steamed green beans, and mashed cauliflower. For dessert almond flour brownies (her and one brother is on the keto diet the others on a fasting diet)

 

[plgfarts]

Cannibal sandwiches.

Raw ground sirloin on rye, with onions, salt, and pepper.

 

[Got2Hands]

Same as Thanksgiving dinner, only with different pies. I'm entirely fine with that.

 

[Haram Exercise]

Big pan of chicken enchiladas, Spanish rice, refried beans, and Peppermint ice cream.

 

[Capsaicin Addict]

Christmas Eve was a pizza from Papa Murphy's. Christmas Day dinner, on the other hand, was smoked ham, spinach and potato casserole, rolls, and cranberry sauce. Good stuff.
