Will you be cooking Christmas dinner?

I don’t cook roasts often as I’m only cooking for myself.

I am going for Roast half leg of lamb, roast potatoes, roast parsnips and carrots in honey, herbs and olive oil and yorkshire puddings.

It usually feeds me for a couple of days, so nothing goes to waste.

Do you bother cooking a roast when there is only one of you? C’mon it’s CHRISTMAS…

What will you be cooking this year and for how many? :slight_smile:

My parents will cook Christmas dinner but no visitors due to covid19. I dont know yet what they will cook. Maybe stuffed chickens or stuffed turkey.

We are having steak this year, usually it’s a beef tenderloin roast. Can’t go wrong with any the selections I’ve seen in this thread.

I break my diet regimen for the big day, then back to normal eating after.

That sounds amazing!

Last year I cooked for 6, this year I will be cooking for only 2 as my little one is at his dads and then family are shielding from covid. I will drop my mum a Christmas dinner off for her to enjoy.

I’m doing turkey and all the trimmings still though

I’m making a ham and a bunch of sides. We are always just us for the holidays, but we are a big family so it’s a party anyway

It seems ham is very popular in the USA. I mean we have it in the UK, but it is not a main from my experience. I think ham is for boxing day, is it not in the UK?

I reckon as they have turkey for thanksgiving, ham is more enviable?

You’re right it’s not really a uk thing. I’ve only had it once, a proper joint of ham. It was honey roasted and it was amazingggggg so I’m very jealous of everyone having ham

I’ll be alone. Usually you have ham or Turkey, which I’m not that crazy about either. I just usually make something I like.

I hope it is not too depressing for you to be alone. Remember it is just another day in the grand scheme of things. Most of it is over hyped.

Take care! :slight_smile:

My aunt gets ham. This year it was $9.99 a pound so she got 9 pounds almost a hundred bucks.
