Traditional Christmas lunch or?

I'm a traditionalist. I like turkey, roast potatoes and all the trimmings. How about the rest of you? Chicken? Roast Beef? Curry?

I'm not a lover of turkey but have it for Christmas Dinner (not the dark meat though). All the trimmings, a couple of tasty stuffings, lashings of bread sauce and roasties. Seems lots also have mash but we don´t. Usually make something light for pudding - Pavlova and have the Christmas Pud on Boxing Day.

9 of us going out christmas day, had the menu sent over, All set, Prawn cocktail. Turkey. Trifle, Sorted., Better not say where in Tenerife, Fed up of girls screaming,

What a shame there are 9 of you I can only fit a total of 10 round my dining table so one too many

Cant you bin the other half ?

No I need him to help with the washing up.

Not a big turkey lover myself but Xmas wouldn't be same without. Hate brussel sproputs, Xmas pudding and mince pies. Always have one of those giant toblerone bars instead & vienetta ice cream with pears or apple tart. After all that , I sit like Jim Royale hardly able to move, save to lift one cheek to fart and hope I dont follow through.

Down the alley is 'The ORIGINAL Bistro' and Nikki is a great cook, it will be fab but 9 of you will probably fill the place and if anyone else wants to go they should book NOW!!
