 Was reading before that we as a country are going to spend $8 Billion Dollars on grub 'n' booze during the Christmas season and made me think about what my fellow Atomicans might be feasting and boozing on during the Christmas period?

Lol...I agree with that...a few cleansing ales always helps fuel the Christmas spirit! Food wise I really look forward to nice roast turkeys, hams..etc as I normally don't get to eat them....for me seafood is m e h at Christmas time...nothing wrong with it but I can eat that anytime but nice roasts..etc is a treat for me.... And Trifle & Plum Pudding with brandy sauce/custard is the mutha facking bomba!

So... $375 per head. Every man, woman, rug rat and baby. $375 each.
Bullshit. *EDIT* Wait. "During the season". The fuck does that mean? This post has been edited by tantryl: Dec 22 2009, 11:10 AM -------------------- It's the surprising adventures of Sir Digby Chicken Ceasar! - That Mitchell & Webb Look

Suckling pig, BBQ duck some seafood perhaps then leaving the cleaning up to the waiters shall be heading off to round 2 a barbecue at a mates place.

I'm on call, I'll be having a couple of beers on my own and that's it. As for food, I'm home alone this year, so maybe a steak.

Most likely, there will be a barbecue or two, so various kinds of steak and sausage will be on offer. There will undoubtably be seafood (it's a fishing family) - whiting and prawns, probably. Salads of course. Being Christmas, and half the family being churchy traditionalists, you can bet on pudding and custard, but it's likely there will be something less stodgy as well - probably pavlova.
Drinks-wise... Beer, of course - lots of it, but I don't even attempt to keep with what brands and styles they're all drinking these days. Some big wine drinkers in the male side, too, so the Christmas/New Year stretch is probably going to see a couple of cases go missing. Sounds like a lot, but it's really a pretty average load each. There's just a lot of us. -------------------- "Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence." - Napoleon.

Christmas Day will consist of Turkey, Ham, Pork Schnitzels, Lamb, and all manner of vegetables, for lunch and dinner.
Breakfast is a european continental at my Oma's, usually. Wine, scotch and beer will be on the menu, and much good coffee. |

We do steak and lobster on the BBQ generally. I believe the same this year.
Some summer salads too. |
