I'm guessing that not every country has the same Christmas meal traditions that we in the UK have. Generally here it will be turkey, stuffing, chipolatas, veg (including sprouts) and gravy. With Isobel being a veggie having a massive turkey doesn't make any sense and whilst I don't mind it I normally have a small pork joint.
I never used to like veg but since getting a steamer I enjoy them. Even sprouts! Just seem to have more flavour than the old boiled to pulp ones we used get.
One of the things I do like is sausage rolls. Especially home made sausage rolls. Isobel made those in the picture below. True they don't look manufactured but they do taste great. She has also made some veggie ones too and they are very good.
Mince pies are home made too (currently in the oven) so no picture yet.
One food I really do hate is prunes. When at school we used to get them with custard and I hated them. However, the teachers were so nice I was forced to eat them! Often wonder if I could sue them for cruelty! Since then I can puke at the sight of a prune (literally)! When we were in Wales a few weeks back the breakfast had forest fruit compote and guess what it had in it? Had to run to the loo to throw up! Waitress was impressed.
