What will be on your Christmas dining table this year?

Do you like this story?

xmastable What will be on your Christmas dining table this year?

Prompted by the wild success of our first annual Mamamia DIY Christmas Gift Guide where we pooled our collective brain cells to solve every possible gift-giving dilemma (hours of consumer inspiration reading the comments on that post, I’m telling you), Mamamia’s wise and kind moderating goddess Amanda Bugmum suggested this:

how about we share what we’ll be cooking (or eating – I’m better at the latter) on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve or whenever you have your Big Fat Meal.

Or maybe you don’t. Maybe for you, Christmas will be about a bowl of cereal or a mango at the beach. Whatever you’re going to eat, I want to hear about it.

Also, if you have a recipe you’d like to share, need a recipe for something or some piece of cooking advice, just leave it as a comment and other MM commenters will step in a solve your Christmas catering problems.

Oh look. I’m an infomercial.

At my place, I’m not quite sure what we’ll be having because my son and one of our (grown-up) friends are in charge of the catering. I do know that we’ve ordered an 8kg organic turkey. For 7 people. So I’m going to ask the first question: anyone got any good recipes for leftover turkey?

Comment Rules Imagine this is a dinner party. Differences of opinion are welcome but keep it respectful or the host will show you the door. If you're rude or abusive, your comment will be deleted (so will comments responding to other rude comments because they won’t make sense - so save your breath). And if you’re offensive, you’ll be banned. Remember what Fonzie was like? Cool. That's how we're going to be - cool. Have fun and thanks for adding to the conversation...
