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?

In the end I cooked Indian potato pancakes with cheese and spices for starters, a nut roast with roast potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, carrots and brussel sprouts for main and christmas pudding (Tesco's Finest no less - which I ate out of a dog bowl) with double cream for dessert.

I was quite pleased with how it went in the end, the cooking was enjoyable and quite stress-free - I'm glad I've got back into it again - I've always enjoyed it.

It was a bit of a shame about the white wine we had, it was quite bitter and wasn't that nice but you can't everything I suppose.

I'd like to thank you all for your wonderful suggestions. I hope you had a great Christmas too and have a happy (and very furry) New Year *hugs*
