Christmas lunch alone, what food would you choose?

I like your menu shysal.
Me, those smoked salmon parcels with soft cheese to start, then salmon (again!) en croute with a selection of vegetables, followed by trifle.
And plenty of wine.

I would still cook a full Christmas lunch if it was just me. I really enjoy it, plus there are cold cuts on Boxing Day. The following day I make a Turkey and vegetable curry, portion up and freeze.

I spent Christmas Day on my own every other year for nearly 20 years. I always chose something which required (almost) no cooking, which was often a Waitrose or M&S ready meal.

That is a coincidence!

Shysal, your choice sounds perfect! I suspect I will be on my own this year due to other family commitments, and I will be very tempted to steal your ideas - I hope you don’t mind!

I have only once spent Christmas day alone, - my own stubborn choice which I regretted, - and I did cook a full roast.
If this happens again I think I might just have egg and chips.

Beef Wellington would be my second choice!

What an interesting question, shysal.

Thank you.

I think I would like to have a beef wellington (from an upmarket butcher nearby) to put into the oven ready prepared, some leeks from my own garden cooked with a bit of butter and some sage and no pud.

Plus a glass of well chilled guinness zero alcohol.

Cheers.
