What are you making for Christmas dinner?
- Thread starter MissCroft
- Start date
My family is French Canadian (from Montreal) so we always have a traditional Québécois feast on Christmas Eve:
turkey and gravy, stuffing, ragoût de boulettes et pattes de cochon (meat balls with gravy and pig's legs), 2 types of tourtière (meat pies), mash potatoes, a mix of carrot and parsnip purée, fresh green beans, brocoli, brussel sprouts, carrots in a brown sugar syrup, 3 types of salads, pickled beets, 2-3 types of fresh bread...
And for later that evening: patés, cold cuts, cheeses, fresh fruit, home made fruit pies, chocolate cake, home made Christmas cookies...
I'm positive I forgot to name a few things, too lol
Let's put it this way- we all eat more than we should. We all take home huge doggie bags and there's enough food left over to have another Christmas Eve party!
In.sa.ne!

Fancy Pancy! lol
My ham bone is for pea soup and I don't care what anyone else thinks!
I love Brussels sprouts but nobody else in my family likes them so I don't make them. They love my garlic parmesan green beans though!
Do my recipe with the chicken broth and Aux gratin, the brussel sprouts will disappear.
The caviar was a present - Christmas is a good time for sharing.Fancy Pancy! lol
