OK, let's go ahead and continue this theme.
What are the festival centerpieces you plan to consume over the next couple of weeks? The poll is multiple choice.
I'm really thinking it will be duck this year.

I will be having ham with my family, but, as I'm living in a nursing home, I'm sure I'll be getting some turkey too.

Heaven only knows. We're probably having dinner at Graham's brother's, and I really ought to double-check on plans, if for no other reason than so that I can make sure there's something I'll eat available. If we're not going over there, I'll probably just make our usual Friday night mac & cheese.
Tonight, though, we are having an assortment of appetizers, meats, and cheeses. Maybe spiced cider. Festive food.

Ahh, the splendor of haute cuisine.Originally Posted by Gillianren
For Christmas Eve, I usually make an improvised mock Polynasian dish with chicken, bamboo shoots, banana, pinapple and lemon, served with red rice. Yummy. But, not exactly haute cuisine, by any definition.

Should I add "from scratch"? I mean, I don't make the elbow macaroni myself, but this is a lengthy, fiddly process! I also experiment a lot with seasonings, though I don't really know why, given that Graham tends to just dump a can of chili in his portion.Ahh, the splendor of haute cuisine.

He's a man, so it's either chili or ketchup.
Just be happy he doesn't eat it while sitting in front of the TV in his underpants, drinking a can of beer.

My mom is roasting a turkey on Christmas Eve. She is very good at this. Her turkey has crispy skin but it's moist and tender inside. Now I'm hungry.
Order of Kilopi
Er, can we have a fish choice? Fish is not a veggie, you know... but I'll definitely be gorging on Sill and Gravlax!

I'll be eating a lot of Janssons frestelse, which doesn't seem to fit into the poll at all.
Also ham and, like jokergirl, herring.
Order of Kilopi
Ham steaks baked with molasses & pineapple rings
Baked potatoes [sour cream/butter]
Steamed broccoli
Macaroni & cheese
Baked acorn squash
Deviled eggs
Peach pie
Peanut blossom cookies
Merry Merry!

I would love to try "other fowl" or lamb, but convincing my family to try would be quite the task. I'm far more adventurous when it comes to food than they. Not that I'm itching to eat anything wierd, it's just that they are limited to chicken/turkey, pig, or cow. Nothing else.

All the kids will be gone on Christmas Day so my husband and I will be having steaks and Alaskan King Crab! Since all but two of my kids live here, we are looking forward to a quiet day alone.

That looks delicious!!
I'll take a big helping please.

Personally, I like my brie "straight up", but Ile de France is a very nice brie.
Order of Kilopi
Ile de France is the best I've yet tasted.
I'd better go to the store and pick up that fancy holiday variety today!Hopefully they're not sold out.

I had some of that too. Delicious, if homemade, but definitely not to everyone's taste.

I've always felt that limiting the poll choices to five cramps a bit. I wanted to include vegetarian as an option but wanted to keep ham and turkey as items separate from the wider categories they could belong to.
