Had the full works; pickled herring, gravad lax and smoked salmon with red cabbage and mushroom sallad for starter; goose, ham, roasted spuds and mash with carrots, sprouts as mains and Christmas pudding with brandy butter and cheeses for dessert with port&sherry. Later some Green Spot whiskey with Polish&Belgian chocolates. Even later boiling everything in goose fat and/or making sandwiches and snacking on fruits. Total food&drink mayhem!
@basement_shaman…I bet your chili is the best!!! 
@AllanH , OMG, your post made me hungry. Makes me wish Christmas was everyday until January 1st!
@TobaccyLassy It makes me hungry too, even I thought I could be never hungry again! Menu was a mix of traditional Anglo-Irish fare and Scandinavian/Northeast European Christmas food. Actually had some fancy patees as well like duck liver with venison, but kind of forgot them and going to have them at new year’s eve!

I wanted a pheasant, but got outvoted by about 5 to one (with 3 abstentions), so…roast beast (ho-hum). Next year i’m getting my own damn pheasant and will not share it!
Pheasant is yummy!
I’ve never had pheasant. Now I’m curious about it.
@Mr_O If you were here we would still have been outvoted, but we could have split one between us.

Pheasant is a very nice dry bird to eat and those shotgun pellets makes it kind of manly eat!
We raised pheasants when I was a kid, had hundreds of them, sold them to folks who got skunked hunting to bring home, lol. My dad would make me dress up in my cub scout uniform and stand out by the side of Rte. 1 holding one up to the passing cars, lol. Ate a lot of them, mostly between paychecks.
Just saw this thread today as I was rummaging through past posts. I spent Christmas at the monastery. Our feast was: GIANT scallops, Shrimp, 3" thick tuna steaks Grilled salmon, Calamari (squid,) a gread diversity of wonderful veggies and salads. Some of the brothers were in the restaurant business before they decided to become monks.
