Christmas Dinner

[lupestripe]

This year I will be cooking Christmas Dinner for Wolfie and I don't know what to cook him.

I'd like to do a three-course meal and have pretty much settled on soup for the starter.

I've never been a fan of turkey as I find it dry and tasteless. Duck and pheasant are usually much moister meats but I have no experience cooking either. Being a vegetarian doesn't help. I'm pretty cool on vegetables, indeed I am relishing cooking those.

Apart from Walls Vienetta I am flummoxed on the dessert too. Perhaps I should go for a pie or some kind as I find Christmas Pudding far too rich.

I also normally have Christmas Dinner on Christmas Eve as I tend to eat so much crap on Christmas Day that the last thing I can stomach is a massive meal. I think this year I'll switch it back to Christmas Day though.

Does anyfur have any suggestions? What do you guys cook or have for Christmas Dinner?

One option would be to try for a Vegetarian dinner. After all, apart from the Turkey pretty much everything else is Vegetarian friendly.

iVillage.co.uk suggest a Mushroom Wellington, accompanied with Gratin Dauphinoise or Roast Potatoes, Vegetable Stuffing, Caramelised Carrots and Parsnips, Yorkshire Pud and Braised Fennel, with Fig Ice Cream and Vegetarian Christmas Pud for dessert.
