Food at Christmas
There are a huge amount of traditions at Christmas and a lot of them are based around food. The turkey on Christmas Day, with roast potatoes, parsnips, bacon wrapped sausages, brussel sprouts and gravy. There is always too much food! Here are my top five favourite Christmas foods:
1. Christmas Dinner – the whole thing… a plateful of wonderfullness (yes I know that isn't a word).
2. Tangerines/Satsumas…. easy and quick to peel and devour, next to strawberries these are my favourite fruits.
3. Bacon Wrapped Sausages… or as we call them here, pigs in blankets… OMG… I have no words as to how much I love these little mouthfuls of heaven!
4. Cold meat and pickles. Sighs at the memories of my Grans home-pickled onions that was so hot you could only eat one.
5. Selection pack chocolate… Sighs… I will never be skinny… the kids have to hide their selection packs in case I happen to come across them… rofl.

RJ's Special Christmas Memory (like you haven't heard enough about my Christmases already :p)
Christmas for me is all about family. I love autumn and the way it moves slowly into frosty mornings in November and December. There is a magic in the air that you only get in the Christmas season.

Favourite Christmas food, hmm, that's a hard one, there are so many. My mum's turkey dinner with her Yorkshire pudding, yum, and then there is her homemade Christmas pudding with custard. I love both of them. Just thinking about it makes me want it now, lol.
MMMMMM Food… ROFL… HUGS XXXX
Favourite Christmas food? Let's see. At home, it's tradition to have my mom's homemade potato ravioli for the holidays. Then, it wouldn't be Christmas (for us) without the traditional sardinian sweets, panettone, pandoro and Mon Chéri (the latter, for me because I go crazy for them). XD
I thought of a "joke", but sadly it's kind of funny only for those that know the videogame Kingdom Hearts. orz

My Favourite Christmas food is fruit cake with a glass of sorrel. It is a once a year treat for me. If they make it right you get a little tipsy off of one slice. 😀
oh nice one… boozy christmas cake… hugs xxxx
My favorite Christmas food? The cookies and desserts!! What? They're a food. LOL. I love making pizelles, Mexican wedding cookies, totos, blonde brownies, pecan tassies…just to name a few. I spend two to three days leading up to the holiday in serious baking mode! One of the traditions that I inherited from my hubby's French Canadian side of the family it to make the Tourtieres. I usually have to make two of them because my hubby and my son will eat one between the two of them. The other is for the rest of the family. 🙂
Desserts SO count… ask Mr RJ what I think of desserts… rofl

russian salad… what is in that?
Brisket..my great-grandmothers sugar cookies, melt in your mouth yummy..dream rolls..did I mention brisket? yummo!

My hubby's Grandmother was from Spanish decent through Mexico. They have and now we do, a tradition of enchiladas for Christmas dinner. They're made with a homemade sauce, and when I was given the family recipe, I was threatened with great bodily harm if I ever gave it out. They take their sauce seriously!
oh wow… love the idea of family recipe… i had an idea for a book title around that… it was actually called *The Family Recipe* nods…
Hugs xxxxx
Yes food is my favorite. Oh, you wanted to know a specific dish? That's hard to narrow down. I have fond memories of grandma's goose with apple and prune stuffing. It's hard to find a good goose these days; in more ways than one. Love a good glazed ham, yum. It's not Christmas without gingerbread with a large dollop of whipped cream. Love that Deefur!
How many reindeer does it take to screw in a light bulb?

My favorite holiday foods are the desserts. I don't care a bit about any other part of the meals. Point me to the desserts and everyone will be happy. Pumpkin is my absolute favorite. Pie, cake, bread, coffee syrup, you name it, if it's pumpkin, I want it.
i hate desserts…
LYING!
I love desserts… he he
