I don't know about other people, but I certainly do.Do you think people actually really like the xmas meal? I haven't had one since I was a child as I don't eat meat anyway and I dislike dried fruit so mince pies, Xmas pudding/cake etc is out. The thought of having to eat that meal makes me feel sick.

Miserable fekker!I don't like the 'traditional' Christmas meal. A 'roast dinner' - which is basically what Xmas dinner is, give or take a condiment or two - is of no appeal to me unless I personally knew the main feature and was certain it had a good life and a stress-free death. I don't like sprouts as usually served at Xmas and can think of so many better and more tasty things to do with the traditional selection of veg than just boiling them and smothering them in bisto gravy. Paper hats are uncomfortable, crackers are unrewarding.
I heartily dislike dried vine fruits, candied peel and the like, so Xmas cake, pud and mince pies are out, as are the more 'modern' and 'fashionable' stollen and pannetone.
I'd rather have fish and chips, a nice omelette with cheese and some fresh, tender veggies, or some smoked salmon on granary toast. My best 'Xmas dinners' have always been when the host has apologised for not providing a 'proper' Xmas dinner.
My wife and I have very different preferences for sprouts. She likes them well cooked, I like them crunchy. SO when boiling them for a meal (we have them quite often, not just at Christmas), hers go in the boiling water, mine go in a steamer on top, and not until her have come to the boil.I don't like sprouts as usually served at Xmas
Bisto gravy???? Ugh!and can think of so many better and more tasty things to do with the traditional selection of veg than just boiling them and smothering them in bisto gravy.
Agreed. Not keen on either.Paper hats are uncomfortable, crackers are unrewarding.
I'm the opposite there, I love all those ( and do like Stollen and Pannetone as well)I heartily dislike dried vine fruits, candied peel and the like, so Xmas cake, pud and mince pies are out, as are the more 'modern' and 'fashionable' stollen and pannetone.
