Mine has to be a Roast! But to be more precise, Christmas Dinner!!!! Starting with Prawn Cocktail, then the Turkey with roast potatoes,brussels,carrots, roast parsnips,swede, stuffing, little sausages wrapped in bacon then Christmas pudding with custard, followed by cheeses and then mincepies whilst listening to the Queen at 3pm (it's got to be done!) All of this has to be washed down with a decent wine laced with Alca Seltzer!
Oh the thought of it all, I want it to be Christmas today! Christmas dinner is the bomb, not only are all the family there (could be a good point,could be a bad point!) you get pressies as well! I love the build up to the meal, getting up early to put the Turkey on a low heat, making all the mincepies, making the Pudding the year before, preping the brussels, choosing the wines......wonderful!

Has to be Roast Chicken Dinner with all the trimmings and served on Christmas Day, the way my mum and dad do it, and I mean the works! You get such a major feel good factor eating with the family during the festive season. It is worth waiting over 11 months!
We like pigs in blankets, with pineapple, and good mature cheese to start. Yum! These are always served a good 15 minutes before the main, which is: Roast Chicken, stuffed with stuffing of course, Yorkshire Pudding, sprouts, carrots, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, and lashings of good gravy!!
Wow i'm hungry!

It's hard to choose. There's a big case for the full English breakfast, as long as the bacon is dry cure smoked and the sausages are good quality.
My mother's pot roast beef with roast veg and Yorkshire pudding is another big fave. She doesn't just roast potatoes and parsnips, but also roasts squash and sweet potatoes.
But the best English meal is Christmas dinner which is a joint effort and I go over several days in advance to help her prepare. It helps that I used to be a chef and mum used to be a butcher. So the Turkey has it's legs removed and boned and they are filled with home-made sausage and apple stuffing, wrapped in foil and cooked seperate from the rest of the bird. The rest of the turkey has slivers of garlic and ginger pushed under the skin, gets wrapped in good quality smoked bacon and is then roasted upside down to make sure the juices all run through the breast meat to keep it tender and juicy. The milk for the bread sauce is simmered with onions and cloves for absolutely ages and my mum's bread sauce is absolutely devine. We have Brussel sprouts with chestnuts; mashed swede with butter and pickled red cabbage for our neighbour and her kids who come from Germany. And not content with all that, there are home-made sausages; cauliflower and brocolli in cheese sauce; home grown green beans; potatoes, parsnips and sweet potatoes marinated in olive oil and garlic and then roasted; glazed carrots and turkey giblet gravy. The table bulges under so much food and once every one has enough meat, the bird has to go back into the kitchen to make way for all the veg for six hungry people. After all this, we're a bunch of Philistines when it comes to Champaigne and make do with some cheap, but nice bubbly. Then my sister and the neighbour's youngest son move on to soft drinks; my mum and Catharine change to good quality red wine and the neighbour's oldest son and myself turn to very good quality German or Belgian beers which go really well with Christmas dinner. Without a doubt, this is my favourite meal of the entire year and even though it's tempting to do it at other times, we only have it on that one occasion. It takes days to prepare and moments to eat, but it's well worth it. Even though there is Christmas pudding available afterwards, no one ever has any because we're all completely full.
Not fair guys! Now I'm hankering for Christmas to be here so I can have my turkey dinner.
Still, only 15 weeks to go eh?

It's got to be good old roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes & parsnips & in season veg rather than anything that is on the shelf all year round, proper meat pan gravy is a must...the reason why is the taste, there is nothing like it. And for afters a good home made apple pie or crumble with custard YUMMMY

Sunday dinner but with roast lamb and mint sauce, fresh garden peas newly podded, boiled jersey potatoes, followed by strawberries and cream - all fresh and seasonal at the same time of year - Nature's own menu.
