What are the trends for the festive Dinner this coming Christmas?


I?m personally not cooking this time, but I?m pleased to know someone else is. I?m a guest not a host this year. Plus my kids are pretty grown up now, so it?s not as full on as it once was.


In the past I?ve cooked Goose, Hams, Cockerel and of course Turkey. I?m glad to have done it, but I?ve made life simpler over the years, cutting down on the sheer volume of food.


However, I?ll probably cook a couple of light lunch/ dinners for the days in between, only I?m undecided on just what to cook. I wonder what you?re cooking or making at home in preparation for the Christmas holiday.


Are you going out, to a restaurant. Staying home, or getting out or away.

What are you making and what are you buying. Are you going full-on-with-all-the-trimmings. Veg or Vegan, Dairy or gluten free, or pescatarian even.


Or maybe going off plan and doing something completely different?

I?ve dropped the organic pork medallions this year and arranged to go to the Crown & Greyhound in DV for lunch with my family.


What about cheeses - what are the on-trend ones for Christmas 2019? The Kitchen Cabinet / Jay Rayner referred to ?Shropshire Blue? recently.

Brussels Sprouts...Obvs!

Christmas is an abstract/confused concept. What are you celebrating? The solstice? Or the supposed birth of a prophet/messiah etc? Or just the melding of everything that has turned out for some to be the only day the family get together (I find funerals are better in that respect, more jolly and less bad feeling).


Bah humbug.


Remember a dog is not just for Christmas, you can have it cold on boxing day, curry it after that and then use the bones for stock

    • It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.
    • Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.
    • Completely jobless and lunatic behaviour coming on a forum and complaining about a 4 year old and the child’s bike riding skills. Honestly grow up
    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
