I don't ceebrate christmas, but I had...

Soaked large white lima beans overnight. In the morning, removed the skin and boiled them. Organic wild rice, some salt and pepper.
 
Well, there was a fair bit of food. Kind of a mini buffet thing. There was cold turkey and cold ham, and then potato salad, coleslaw, noodle salad, carrot jelly, cucumber, tomato, Turkish bread, and for dessert, trifle, peaches in jelly and cherries in yoghurt. So no hot food at all, even though it turned into a reasonably cold day (only about 25 C). Oh, and punch.
 
Main course:
- Tamales
Dessert included:
- Cheesecake (four diff. flavors)
- Flan
- Natilla (hispanic dessert)

roast potatoes

red cabbage
sausages wrapped in bacon

god im full
 
turkey
bacon
stuffing
roast pots
mashed pots
carrots
pumpkin
brockoli
gravey

champagne to drink
 
back when I still celebrated with my parents my favourite was

roasted leg of lamb (which we used to raise just for this single purpose)
mint jelly to go with that and the sauce made up mostly of the juices of the lamb plus I-have-no-idea-what
potato gratin
random vegetables
russian caviar on toast for starters.

this year's christmas dinner pretty much stunk though the entrees were amazing. some kinds of baked camambert(s?) with a pie crust and a strawberry reduction. tiny tastegasms in my mouth.

me, personally, I like turkey but I never quite got the special-occasion-kind-of-bird-fascination thing the American culture has with it. somehow poultry is more of an every-day-kind-of dish for me. plus ostrich is so much nicer. hard to stuff one into an oven, though, I guess....
 
A bread stuffing (w/ onions) + mushroom gravy
green bean casserole (simple: green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and French's fried onions)
mash potatoes + mushroom gravy
salad (the lettuce w/ some pears, oranges, dried cranberries iirc)
cranberry sauce
warm apple cider to drink

with black forest cake for dessert
milk with the black forest cake
 
I made a prime rib roast and yorkshire pudding popovers, and man was it good!

Christmas Eve was the traditional Feast of the Seven Fishes (why is it Fishes and not Fish?)
 
Cauliflower Soup with White Truffle and Asiago

Grilled Asparagus with Toasted Pecans, Blue Cheese and Cranberry Vinaigrette

Steak Dijon, Mushrooms, Roasted Garlic, Grains of Paradise, Brandy and Root Vegetables

Cacao Torte

Under-the-Mistletoe Dish
 
well, there was Turkey, but I'm a Vegetarian (and one of my sisters), so we didn't partake.

--cheese broccoli casserole
--sweet yam casserole with melted marshmellows
--wild rice
--vegetarian stuffing (my Mom awesomely made 2 stuffings, one veg)
--cranberry sauce
--croissants
--Champagne

.. and there's always gotta be that one weird, freaky dish on the table that no one wants. anyone else's Mom do this??

--some kind of strange, cold fruit salad concoction that I didn't go near! hahaha

awesome dinner overall! thanks Mom!
