We want to know what delicacies you'll be eating on Christmas day - breakfast through to dinner! the more unusual the better!

I'll probably skip breakfast as we will all be opening our presies before I rush out to work.

Then a nibble at some confit of duck followed by some roast black feathered turkey with lemon and thyme stuffing. Then some red wine while the desserts go out to the restaurant followed by secret santas present time. Then after a fab day at work, drinking, eating and cooking with great colleagues (feeding my family at the same time in the restaurant) I'll be chaffeur driven (by hubby) to relatives and put my feet up. No helping with the buffet as I will have cooked all day already.

Hi Jake,

The Christmas tradition from my mother's family is to have pork pie and bread & butter for breakfast, any other time of the year and I wouldn't thank you for it but it wouldn't be Christmas if I had anything else.

Merry Christmas to all

I'll probably have a bacon butty for brekkie (as you do) and fill myself with traditional roast for dinner. With Prawn cocktail in some homemade thou island dressing to start and of course crimbo pud for the finale.
Not very exciting but it does me

Merry Christmas to everyone, have enjoyed watching the show while i've been full of flu. xxxx angela

Oh princess,

what a shame you could only enjoy us because of the flu. Still, if you get as much a sniffle, we'll be here. Do join us, hope you're better soon.

Breakfast ~ Bucks Fizz, (more fizz than bucks) and the who cares.............

no prob some scrambled eggs with smoked salmon.

Then dinner will be pancakes with a selection of veggies and sauces/salsa etc. to wrap up as we please.

with lots of nibbles and slurps in between.

Missed one item i'll definately be having. champers and whats crimbo without it?

Thanks Mammachef, I am normally working office hours so i dont very often get to tune in. But have had something to look forward to watching while i have been poorly got lots of ideas and when i am better the first thing i will try is ed baines semifreddo espresso, looked almost as yummy as ed himself (did i say that outloud) Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year to all. xxx

Hello all. This Christmas I'm having a big family gathering. 14 people, all ages, shapes and sizes. I consider myself an adventurous chef, but given the Christmas guests, I want to have a simple traditional fair. Trouble is, I simply don't have a good recipe for Prawn Cocktail (please don't laugh). I remember a great recipe Gary Ghodes had a couple of years ago that was a twist on the traditional. Does anyone have that recipe to share?

Merry Christmas every1 on gfl,
On christmas eve we will be cooking Delia's Ham which Brain Turner done a version on this show a few days ago which salad ribs and pickled onions handmade by my nan and gramps.
Christmas day
Breakfast: cinnamon toast which we got of ukfood it is a light breakfast the main dinner will be very filling.

Dinner:
The starter will be tiger prawns in filo pastry with a seet chilli sauce. And some peple will be having toast and a duck and orange pate.

We will be cooking a roast duck and my nan will be bringing a cooked turkey the duck is just for 3 people when 7 will be dining with traditional veg.

Desert will be a Amaretti chocolate torte cake (Delia Smith).

Coffee and cream with truffles after.

Hope this gave you some ideas Happy Cooking.

P.S the peppermint creams are nice after dinner when I went to make some I was out of peppermint so I used orange essance and had fab results for another idear.

Breakfast in our house will most almost certainly comprise of numerous cups/mugs/pints/gallons of freshly brewed black coffee and as it's a special occasion, we'll use minted matchmakers to hold our eyes open instead of matchsticks!

Christmas dinner will be cheese mouse for starter, roast pork/quorn and a lentil loaf with traditional veg, yorkshires etc. followed by baileys ice-cream served in a chocolate wafer basket, cheeseboard, liquers, coffee and cake.

We've got picks if anyone is hungry later on - nuts, crisps, dips, crudites etc. plus the leftover minted matchmakers to hold our eyes open until the guests leave!!

Have a good one everyone!

We will have a smoked salmon roulad with cheese to start. A traditional dinner. Blackcurrant and redcurrant ice cream to finish (kids choice) Alasdair will help me make the ice cream.
Lots of Baileys and Christmas cake throughout
Periodic mulled wine
Leftovers on Boxing day

We have our big dinner on christmas eve, so breakfast is sausage stuffing on toast. Bubble and squeek, turkey, salmon, cheese and lots of nibbles follow for the rest of the day, fitted in around playing with the kids presents, watching the rubbish telly and lots of drinking.

hi Gusbo,

I have Gary Rhodes prawn cocktail recipe but it is from a BBC book so I can't post it here due to copy rights. Have a look at the BBC web site it was from his New British Classics book.

6 adults for Christmas this year in the Aston household, we will have just pink grapefruit for breakfast but then a snack late morning which this year will be Ian Pengelleys pork dumplings as done recently on GFL and smoked salmon, creme fraiche and caviar blinis followed by mince pies, accompanied by mulled port. Traditional lunch at about 4pm, then a cheeseboard, nuts and chocolates late evening. Oh I am drooling now !

i,m making the mincemeat bread recipe that paul hollywood makes i might try it toasted on christmas morning and a bacon butty cup of coffee,then we are going to my mother in laws for dinner ,having prawn cocktail homemade sauce and turkey dinner and christmas pud with cream.anyway hope everyone has a great xmas see you all soon.

Breakfast is usually a rather strange mix of chocolates, jelly beans, liquorice, stollen or whatever is in our stockings!

Dinner is a Kelly Bronze turkey with stuffings (homemade -except for the paxo...I know but my English partner tell me one cannot have Xmas without it, the others are all bread and fruits or chestnuts based no sausagemeat), bread sauce Schwartz packet, cranberry sauce -a la Delia, mashed and roasted potatoes, brussels and carrots and of course gravy (with home made stock and a hint of veal powder stock, rowan jelly, worchesthire sauce and mustard).

Billecard Salmon champagne and Kanonkoff pinotage are the drinks for this year.

Dinner is usually turkey soup, it would have been bubbling in the afternoon. I usually prepare it when my other half does the washing up.

Merry Christmas!

Toast or something like that for breakfast for daughter and me. (Other half will still be asleep). Then pressie opening with some bubbly. Gammon (I think) and snacks, according to hubby through out day, and then goose for Christmas dinner in the evening, with cake and cheese, etc. Can't seem to get to the dinner ready earlier. Hubby said dinner is usually 9pm, but don't believe him. Must try and get more organised and precook veges. There'll be 6 of us this year including 6 year old daughter.

breakfast in our house is smoked salmon and scrambled eggs - with pink champagne.
then a few pints of black velvet (guiness and champagne)
For dinner I'm cooking a crown roast turkey with apple and sage stuffing, with all the trimmings including rosemary roast potatoes and shredded green cabbage with apples bacon and cider!
