What are you having for Boxing Day lunch?

[Pale Rider]

My Boxing Day lunch is unusual this year.

Regrettably, I'm now classed as clinically extremely vulnerable, but that does at least mean I qualify for a 'meals on wheels' lunch provided by volunteers.

It's just arrived, a little early to eat yet, but the instructions tell me to whack it in the microwave so I can have it in an hour or two.

I have turkey (my first portion this Christmas), a Yorkshire, pigs in blankets, stuffing, several boiled vegetables, and two portions of gravy.

They've sent two puddings, a Christmas pud with custard, and a strawberry gateaux.

I also have an unexpected Christmas hamper in the shape of a carrier bag stuffed with tinned goods, a couple of baguettes, a box of Morrison's best mince pies, and a few other bits and pieces.

Looks a good result overall.

What are you having?

We will be rolling out the firepit and grilling spiced lamb koftas

Had a bit of food poisoning earlier this week (dodgy chicken) but appetite is now 90% restored and looking forwards to sirloin steak, chips, fried onions and gravy.

Still very full from yesterday.
Just eaten a bacon butty followed by some grapes. Not sure if that counts as breakfast or lunch.
Al is making sweet and sour pork & fried rice later. In between there is a hell of a lot of cheese.

Turkey ham and cheese panini, I spoil myself. Luckily in work alone so I can open my belt up a bit

What I have every day - a delayed breakfast. As always it will be muesli with semi-skimmed milk. I slice 5 or 6 grapes and a banana over it and add a spoon of Greek (style) yoghurt. With a big mug of tea chaser.

Steak and chips with gravy - are you from the north?

Salad, probably with fried up left over roasties
parents will have ham, I’m having tuna and smoked salmon

Just made a pot of home made lentil and carrot soup; so a bowl of that plus some snack food from yesterday that didn't even get as far as the oven after the Christmas dinner! M&S chorizo pigs in blankets, and later some "handmade tiger prawn selection". Perhaps some more chocolate too .

 

[oldwheels]

Carrot, apple and banana salad plus home made mystery soup and wholemeal bread.

Does the tuna taste not overpower the smoked salmon?

That is intriguing... How do you manage that?

• Freeze 5 different types of soup in unlabelled containers so you can't tell which one you are defrosting OR..
• Make the soup when very drunk so you don't remember what is in it!

 

[flake99please]

Turkey & roasted root vegetable soup aka some of yesterdays leftovers blended with vegetable stock.

I wouldn’t mix together
I’m actually just having tinned salmon now 😋
