Australians prefer seafood for Christmas lunch. Although Ham is still popular.
For a number of years I've made seafood paella for Christmas lunch. But a lot of work to make from scratch. |

Kenny - I think since your Rolf Harris lunacy, no one can be bothered to debate with you. I certainly can't.
|

By:
pxb - I think the Australian climate at Christmas influences their choices somewhat

Not surprised you don't want to debate this, it's undebateable.
In the wild, turkeys roost in trees, are very protective of their young, can fly at up to 50 mph and live for up to 10 years. Today, nearly all are reared on factory farms, packed in their thousands into mucky sheds, with scarcely room to move. Nearly all slaughtered at around four months. |

Let's not kid ourselves. If you're not having a roast with all the trimmings then you're not having a Christmas dinner. Almost certainly a loser as well though there are exceptions. Each case treated on merit.

The traditional turkey Christmas dinner is a pretty appalling meal if considered from a digestion point of view.
And if you need to sleep after eating it, that tells you all you need to know about that. I suggest a plate of egg and chips, followed by a warm mince pie with a spoonful of custard on top. For after all it is Christmas. So tuck in and enjoy yourself. |
|
By:
Egg and chips is a very underrated meal.
Must be cooked with hand-cut potatoes in a proper old-fashioned chip pan and the eggs in a frying pan with loads of melted lard. By yer mum. |
|
By:
Decent eggs and proper chips is a wonderful meal, but its hardly Christmas is it. Mind you I do Ham, Egg and Chips one evening around Christmas every year

If you are near a Waitrose then they do reduce their meat at the counter regularly and I think around christmas would be a good time to look.
They reduce the meat starting in the morning and then getting further reduced as the day goes on or it could bet bought and you have no reduction. I get a lot of stuff for slow cooking there, osso bucco, spare ribs (not much meat), lamb shanks ( not a lover but cheap lamb), short beef ribs, kidneys, oxtail etc etc and all about at least half price and sometimes at a third of the price. Some of the butchers are really nice and even come over to me if they see me in the store and give me something they know I would like. They reduce the more expensive stuff as well. |

By:
its over to your place for xmas lunch then annie yum! yum!
 |
|
By:
yep,i'll join you tel
.we can both bring annie a chipolata each.just like her butchers do  |
|
By:
be nice to escape the bedsit one day a year
|
|
By:
It would be nice for all the chit chatters who live alone, like me, to get together for a christmas meal.
|
|
By:
bito, you do not live in a bedsit, you are a figment of some other chit chatter, or a betfair employee
 |
|
By:
you are awful bito but I like you
, be careful want you wish for annie |
|
By:
Perhaps all those who live alone can have a pretendy christmas meal on here. See you on christmas day
 |
|
By:
It is a lovely idea in theory, terry, but it would probably spoil the chit chatter vibe.
|
|
By:
your first idea was far better annie honey lol
|
|
By:
annie,you can pull my cracker and terry can pull his own. AGAIN
 alternatively we could all spend xmas day in the chit chat pub,im sure tommy would enjoy the company singing carols while we listen to the shipping forecasts on the radio |
|
By:
I wonder what tommy does on christmas day
 |
|
By:
peels potatoes and watches the queens speech i guess
