I tend to have my Christmas "dinner" late afternon - after the Queen's Speech, but earlier than I would normally eat dinner.
This year I settle in at about 15:30 with
- Walnut & Cheddar Cheese Balls in Bechamel Sauce
- Bread & Chestnut stuffing
- Roast Parsnips
- Roasted Potatoes
- Fine Beans
- Brussels Sprouts Sauteed with Chestnuts
- Onion Gravy
- Cranberry Sauce
This meal was a staggering 1367.4 calories. I enjoyed it, but think I need to rethink my Christmas traditions. I have been making this same meal (well, nearly) for the best part of twenty years.
This year, it made me feel incredibly full and to be frank - unwell! I am not used to so much rich food any more. And I have heaps of leftovers, despite having halved my recipes.
Way too full to eat another meal today, although did nibble on olives and peanuts in the evening.
Think next year I will plan a nice seafood Christmas.
