Favorite Christmas Meal or your dinner plans for Christmas

[sr20det510]

What do Neo Geo heads eat on Christmas?

Had tamales, pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread), and champurado (corn meal based hot chocolate) last night on Christmas eve.

This is my favorite meal, especially the tamales. Been buying the masa (corn meal dough) from the same tortilla factory in East Los Angeles for the last 35 years. I wake up at 4 am to head to the factory, then wait in line for an hour or so to get the dough. By the time I get home the meat I left simmering isready to shred, and the broth it leaves behind I use to flavor the dough. I also make the chile sauce for the tamales the day before, so 2-3 hours after getting home, the tamales are steaming, and an hour later they are ready to eat.

Today I'm grilling salmon, and baking/roasting ham, turkey, and Brussels sprouts.

Happy Holidays to all!
Merry Christmas!

Had a Costco hot dog w/ mustard and onions yesterday.
Hot dogs are always a good thing.

Rot,

Never heard of Jelly Babies.
Looked them up, and Whisky and gummies sound like an interesting combo.

My wife and I are by ourselves in Munich for Christmas. We rented an apartment though, se we have a kitchen. Last night I made a German-style potato salad with bacon for dinner. Today I am cooking a pork loin roast with sauerkraut, potatoes, parsnips, and carrots. And lots of beer. Fuck me, beer is fucking cheap here.

For the last 5 or so years, we've gone out for a nice Chinese meal on Christmas.

The Christmas Classic is always the best.

Having tacos and enchiladas for a late lunch/early dinner..... wish we had tamales too!

For drinks: had a couple gin fizzes earlier. Now having some Christmas beer my brother in law got for me from Anchor brewing. It came in a giant champagne bottle. Later some eggnog with brandy... good times.

Couple pints of beer, few smokes and some optimism.

Had a roast dinner at home with the family.
Turkey crown, joint of beef, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, yorkshire puds, mash with loads of butter, and veggies with gravy and mint sauce.
Chrismas pud with custard for afters.
Fucking hit the spot as well.

Having some dinner with the family at the hospital. My dad had a heart attack a couple days ago.

My mother always made roast pork in mojo sauce, yucca, black beans and rice (or Moros y christianos), fried plantains, and crab balls (like a crab cake, but with a big lump of crab in the middle, and a bread like batter) the Cuban Christmas dinner would be finished with turron. I miss a Cuban Christmas dinner. So, so good.

Here it's turkey, ham, stuffing, gravy, potatoes in various ways, and sprouts. I won't knock it, because I do like it. But none of it has the flavor, or zing I'm used to and grew up around.

My favorite Christmas meal was the one we use to have growing up. Big ham, and a whole bunch of other stuff. What I'm going to tonight, is the new meal, which is "Christmas health food". Bummer when people think fucking up something good, is a good thing to do to family traditions. Change your own damn traditions!

Are you Jewish? I hear that's what the Jews do on Christmas.

 

[NGT]

We use to have Chinese ever Christmas eve. Not Jewish. Miss it.

We just made a decision to go all out for Thanksgiving dinner and do a more low-key Christmas.

Hope your father gets well soon. My dad had a stroke while Christmas shopping two weeks ago.
Luckily, I was with him and caught him before he could hit his head on the floor.

BBQ any day of the year is a perfect meal.
I like making leftover brisket sandwiches the next day.

We spend Christmas at my parents every year and my mom usually makes a ton of appetizers before the actual main course and she sets them on top of the living room table and one of the appetizers is this Portuguese french toast which we call Rabanadas. I prefer it over regular french toast any day of the week. It was toasted to perfection this year. It was soft to chew but somewhat crispy. I must've had like 30 of them. This is what they look like.
