What are your dinner dishes for New Year´s Eve & New Year´s Day ?

On NYE we’ll probably be having what’s left of the gammon, with salad or coleslaw and jacket potatoes. Followed by Christmas pudding (I still have one untouched) with what’s left of the brandy butter, and any remaining mince pies.

I usually cook myself a steak on
NYE but a duck breast sounds tempting!

There will be four of us for lunch on NYD so I’m doing cider and tarragon roast pork with duchesse potatoes and plenty of veg. For pud we’ll have blackberry and apple (from the allotment) crumble.

It's just a normal day for me, so whatever is knocking about.

NYE, take away curry from the award winning restaurant in our village.

NYD, duck with a plum glaze. Always duck on NYD - the reason why is lost in the mists of time.

Always duck on NYD
I remember many years ago inviting all the neighbours in for drinks and a buffet on New Year's Day. One said "Must go and check on my duck". DD who was about 4, said "Does it say quack?" and the neighbour said "I hope not, it's in the oven!"

Dunno. Will wait and see what's reduced in M&S

Haha sounds nice (if incredibly expensive) but I just have whatever’s in the fridge and whatever I fancy

New Year's Day was always a roast but I'm doing that tomorrow.

New Year's Eve - probably turkey and ham with bubble and squeak.
(I'm cooking ham today and we're having family over for dinner tomorrow.)

New Year's Day - a variation on turkey and ham!

Can I please come to one of your houses for NY? I just eat whatever is in the Fridge. Never work hard on NYD - you’ll be working hard the whole year. Just chill 😎

New Years Eve probably Beef in Red wine
New Years Day - out for lunch at lovely Gastro Pub owned by Stuart Broad and friend - The Tap and Run at Nether Broughton - I can recommend it.

During Covid lockdown Orlin and I wrote our three favourite meals on a piece of paper and agreed if any matched then that is what we’d have for Christmas dinner.
Chips and egg was the top choice on both lists and that’s what we’d had.
Since then we’ve spent Christmas Day with family so back to traditional dinner.
However we’ve now made chips and egg our New Year’s Day lunch time tradition.
Or egg and chips if we happen to be south of Watford on the day.

Er, I'm North of Watford and would have egg and chips.

When my H was alive and well, after we started giving NYE parties a miss it would be duck breasts for mains at our meal with a red wine cherry sauce and for NYD a roast dinner.
Now it is what I fancy on the day as I have little appetite now.
I am invited out for a pub meal with my GD and her boyfriend bur not said yes yet.

Give me vol au vents(sp?) favourites are creamed mushroom or smoked salmon or coronation chicken, mini sausages and/or pineapples with cheese cubes on sticks in fact anything including glacé cherries (on sticks of course also) in my snowball.😋 MASSIVE TRIFLE essential. Perhaps and Irish coffee..or two.

Sounds excellent FgiS, I enjoy fondues. Would it work if I included some peeled prawns with tails on alongside? I like some surf with my turf.

DH has to have his plate of oysters on NYE here fresh from the Cornish sea. I think they're revolting.

Nothing special. Just the two of us will be here. I might put a bit of a buffet out.

NYE Stuffed three bird game roast of pheasant, mallard and partridge. Roast potatoes, sprouts, parsnip, gravy.
Christmas pudding, probably with custard DHs favourite.

NYD Roasted Vegetable moussaka. Chocolate Mousse.

Then back to normality!

Steak sometimes on Hogmanay ( depends on what husband would like for birthday dinner).
Steak Pie on New Years Day, occasionally a roast of some sort, but usually steak pie with veg and potatoes. Dessert varies and sometimes will just be coffee and a piece of Christmas cake.

A half price stuffed turkey breast from Lidl Didn’t have turkey at Christmas
Might make a trifle but we don’t really eat puds

NYE. Pork steaks in the slow cooker, plus potatoes and veg, all cooked together.

NYD. A brace of pheasants, plus roast potatoes and veg.

Might have a spare Christmas pudding, we’ll see.

Smoked trout on blinis canapes. Then prawn cocktail, pâté with oatcakes or leek and potato soup. Steak pie with lots of veg, roast potatoes and mash. Then a homemade trifle, fruit salad and something chocolatey. And a cheese board. I don't do a hogmanay meal, just New Year's Day
