Is there any food that you just have to eat on Christmas Day?

For me, Christmas day just wouldnt be the same if someone took away all the chocolate xD

Chocolate!!! Definitely! Couldn't do without it.

I have to have my traditional christmas breakfast of gingerbread pancakes and candy cane cocoa. I'd be sad if I had to have another breakfast.

Strangely enough, i'm not actually bothered about the roast dinner, and do something different every year.

wow that is a very festive breakfast how do u make it

always eat to much and make to much.......love a lovely Kelly Bronze Turkey and all the trimmings...........mmmmmmmm roast parsnips and potatoes and sprouts I love them!!

usually make a pavlova for pud

RedCat - that breakfast does sound good! I'd quite like to know how you make that too!

mrsow - Breakfast is gooood lol

Mhags - Yeah, traditional roast does seem... well.. traditional! I usually have a black forest gateux for dessert.

I was just discussing with my Husband what he thinks he'll want for Christmas dinner this year. He has this thing about having lots of different dishes from a different country each year. This year he wants traditional American - Meatloaf, Yams, Cornbread, Mash and butter gravy.

The gingerbread pancakes are made by adding ground ginger and cinnamon, and black treacle to a regular scotch pancake mix. I can email it to you guys if you want. The candy cane cocoa is regular hot chocolate with double cream, peppermint flavouring, whipped cream on top and a candy cane stuck in it. Sometimes I crush candy canes and sprinkle on top of the whipped cream.

redcat that sounds very yummy!

Having traditions from all around the world in different years sounds like a really good idea. Makes a change from the usual meal, I should think!

Wow, that sounds like a good recipe! I'll have to try it at some time... Like a test run before Christmas.. xD

Yeah I just did a test this weekend and had them with maple syrup. I can never get the perfectly round. They always come out like pancake misfits.

Well, I guess they all go down the same hole in the end, whatever the shape. And as long as they taste good, that's the main thing.
Gives you a good excuse to do more tests though

I would like to eat chocolates on Christmas Day

I loves Cakes too much. I would like to eat Gluten Free Cakes and Chocolates on Christmas day on Christmas day.
