Best Christmas Food and Drinks

[Shadowhunter]

What foods and drinks do you look forward to during the holidays? Are there any staples you have to have every year?


I think sorrel and Christmas ham are a big part of Christmas but I actually look more forward to heavily frosted cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. It's the best time of year to dunk a whole box of chocolate chip cookies in a tall glass of milk for breakfast with no shame. Chocolate chip cinnamon rolls and apple pie with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream also suit the holiday theme perfectly.

- Fruit Cake or Black Cake ..SOME KINDA CAKE!
- Non-alcoholic wine
- Baked Turkey - Butterball
- Danish Cookies
- Apple & Grapes
- Friend Rice
- Some kind of Pie e.g macaroni pie, shepherd's pie
- Sorrel
- Sweeties with packaging shaped like stockings

I can't beleve I forgot about fruit cake! I normally ignore unfrosted cakes but when made right, (or by the right people for lazy food lovers like me) fruitcake is the star of the show!

Also candy canes. I can't take them seriously any other month of the year but December. Then all of a sudden I love them with everything.

Whole oven-roasted chicken

For some reason I always think of making bbq chicken with potato salad and a mixed meat fried rice as a Christmas-y/December-y thing but I'm not sure why.

Hot chocolate with whipped cream and spiced beverages.

Homemade gooey caramel on top of everything.

I seem to think December is an excuse to pig out on all things sweet for some reason lol

Punch a cr?me is a favorite. Ham, turkey, rum cake and Danish Cookies. Can't forget the dish on the table with the sweeties and other snacks

 

[LadyDeath]

Cannot forget Eggnog or WAFERS and those strawberry sweeties !

 

[Shadowhunter]

I have never tasted eggnog or punch a creme. New additions: crustless pumpkin pie and vegan coconut ice cream. YUM!

Trying to get me arrested for them wildmeat lol. Well same as ladydeath posted because she was by me. BTW the wildmeat was not by me eh so don't say the admin endorsing hunting during ban time.

 

[Shadowhunter]

Woahhhh so many of you like this stuff? Well, if TrinMotors ever has a get together remind me to walk with my own stuff lol

 

[Steven Ramadar]

Have you ever tried wild meat ._. Its like a piece of heaven on earth

 

[Shadowhunter]

My dad tried to trick me into eating horse once. I just chewed it a few times, spit it out, and immediately threw up. When I asked him what it was I threw up again and felt gaggy and nauseous for a few days after. I cannot make myself eat it. I feel bad enough to eat chicken etc. Wild meat would just make me feel like a barbarian. A lot of people in my family are total carnivores though, so I've had plenty opportunity, I just choose not to.

Thats really unfortunate Mr.Bollywood. It was quite the menu indeed

I only just had time to actually respind to this thread since December.
So here goes:

Over the week of Christmas, my family prepared:
Baked ham, Home made bread, Sponge cake, Fruit cake, curried duck, curried goat, Dhalpouri. The week after was even better with baked babyback pork ribs flavoured with BBQ sauce and some other things which I do not recall.
