Cheese do you choose for Christmas?

Are you traditional...turkey / duck......with all the roasties ?

Or do you do something Special ?


What ever you do ...ENJOY........its only one a year... ;) ;) ;)

Before becoming lactose intolerant I would make sure we had 10-12 cheeses in for Xmas...  :'(

Don't get me on cheese, forget the chocolate.  Maybe that explains my 'adult growth'.  The smellier the better!!!

Thinking about all the papers going an 'alternative Christmas lunch', I read this today and it made me smile:

"Make a change? It's only once a bloody year! How can one possibly need a break from the monotony of eating something once every 12 months? At the age of 40 there is no other dish I can think of that I have eaten only 36 times. Turkey, potatoes, sprouts, Christmas pudding. Fine. The reason it has not evolved is because there have been only about 130 Christmases since it was invented. In "eating time", the roast turkey dinner is less than five months old. It is simply not in need of being jazzed up by a supplement full of celebrity pan-bashers."

Guess we will have the turkey and sprouts then.

No meat for us.

I make a quorn and mushroom pie with gorgeous stodgy suet pastry and even the meat eaters in the family want it.

Cheese? I'm buying a truckle of stilton, some walnuts and a bottle of port 8)

Poor you!  :'( No cheese Gromit!

Oh yes and sticking with the original question-traditional christmas dinner-turkey & trimmings, crackers must be as childish as possible. We say boooo to luxury crackers! Nana makes me a christmas pud and gives me half a cake as no-one likes it but me!

I flippin love spouts and every year wonder why I don't have them more!

Then a load of cheeses and crackers...bliss...

Too many Quality Street.

Home-made mince pies and sausy rolls.

M&S party food!

Ooh and Bucks Fizz to start the day.

Tanqueray and Tonic throughout the day.

Baileys to end the day!

Brie, stilton, double gloucester, chedar, and probably a couple of those speciality ones with walnets or cranberries, and wensleydale to go with the christmas cake.

We're vegetarian, but christmas dinner is basically traditional with something like a nut roast - and a mountain of sprouts.

And for drinkes, guiness, speckled hen, newcastle brown, port, calvados, brandy, and several bottles of whisky - talisker and famous grouse, and maybe a bottle of teachers for mixing.  No sle gin this year, but it'll be ready for next year.

I have only ever liked Cheddar but have bought 2 'rounds' both not cheddar !
Dinner is turkey ect and xmas pud ( im not keen).Love a nice mixture of roasted veggies, thats as modern as i get  ;D
