What are you going to eat AFTER Christmas?

Home-made soup. Fruit.
No wine

I might lose a stone by the end of January!

No turkey it will be lamb roast and some pork roasted potatoes and veg and all the trimmings simple apple pie cream crackers cheese then boxing day pork with pickles crusty bread salad xmas cake dinner will be a lovely lamb curry then chocolate cheesecake 27th full on christmas dinner with slowcooked beef and gammon and a gateau for pud weve decided no starters this year snacky lunch and dinners cold meat mash and some nice homemade cornish pasties too

Oh yes 👏 those days betwix Christmas and New year means cold meats and bubble n squeak with chutneys and pickles or freshly fried homemade chips with a poached egg and bread and butter. 😋

Turkey and ham salad. Turkey curry. Brie and grapes on sourdough bread. Trifle. More trifle. Then steak pie at New Year.
After New Year, back to plain fare

I shall try to eat less stodge

I’m not hosting, so I doubt I’ll have leftovers. I do plan on making a lasagna though around the27th/28th

Well we honestly don't overbuy food for Christmas, it's just a glorified Sunday dinner and we will get back to our healthy eating the day after Boxing Day. Of course we do get extra bits and bobs for Christmas, but once they're gone they're gone.
We love good food and eat very well, but not to excess.
We donate a cheque to our local food bank before Christmas and I don't mean to preach, honestly I really don't, but we prefer to do that rather than gorge ourselves

Love the '12 Days of Turkey' RosiesMaw!

Going to Son and DiLs Christmas day. Will eat small dinner and have a big dessert. That's my treat. Will probably eat a couple of chocolates.
Apart from that everything will be same as usual.
I won't be doing any special shopping.

We will have a lot of leftovers this time as my 13 year-old son will be away for Christmas this year. My mom is cooking a turkey and I picked up a spiral cut ham today.

Leftovers! But, my leftovers are not the traditional stuff. I make a lasagna for Christmas Eve, and Chicken Cordon Bleu for Christmas Day.

Rosiesmaw excellent poem.

I will divvy up anything left over after Boxing Day, with our daughters, no turkey thank goodness and I’ve been quite frugal with the sizes of meat that we are having. Mainly because DD and I don’t eat meat.
Then after Christmas I need to plan meals around what’s in the freezer, both freezers are full and I need to work my way to the bottom. Ditto the kitchen cupboards. In theory I should only need fresh veg and milk for about a month
We shall see.
