. . . I back away and run . . .
Well I think I was late on that thought.
It does sound a bit overwhelming, and if the portions are typical "Mother-In-Law" or should I say Father-In-Law: "There's more over there. . . " as soon as I finish my last bite. I better avoid the scale for a few weeks. 
Now as our three LOTR fans will ask: "Who would have made that?" 
Hobbits? Men - Gondor? or Rohan? Elves?
Thread Idea!

Why did I marry someone allergic to all the good stuff!!!!! 
Anybody got a good suggestion for fish that doesn't involve dairy or eggs???
*determined to resist the tofu this year* |
does it have to be fish or tofu?? I have a sister who is vegetarian, but not married to my brother in law that is allergic to everything. Last year we made stuffed mushrooms for them: big portabello mushrooms stuffed with bread crumbs, onions, celery and lots of seasonings and moistened with homemade vegetable broth, heated in the oven and run under the broiler to get the top of the stuffing crispy. Yummy, even if you're not a vegetarian!!

Hey ou could do a Prime Rib Roast. May not be traditional English dinner, but Prime rib is just as easy as Turkey. Just a thought!
I think all the food sounds like a dream! |

Huh. Pigs in a blanket are something completely different in America. They're hot dogs wrapped in dough.

Sausages wrapped in pastry? The are the delectable sausge rolls - the one food item I've missed since giving up red meat. Alas...

Hiya SilverMoonLady!
You have someone algeric to diary and eggs? That is difficult. My family is Polish (living in Britain) but one fish course we have on Christmas Eve is raw fish - don't throw up. It is not sushi and even I like it though I am a [i]very[/i] fussy eater.
It is smoked herring in oil. Take the herring out of the packet and drain it on some kicthen towels, second: cut up into small pieces i.e squares, but not to small! Then dice up onion. Lastly get a bowl, dish whatever you have and place the fish in with the diced onion on top, remember to pour oil in as well - olive oil or sunflower not sure which, since my father does all the food preparationas well as my mother.
OR if you wish for cooked fish you could boil pices of cod then mix with tomato sauce/ketchup to make a nice dish. I need to ask my parents for more ideas, my cooking skill....weeeell...they don't exist.
I hope I haven't caused any to lose their food fromt heir stomachs! Merry Christmas.  |

Nope, not like sausage rolls in the UK. In Canada, so I guess it's the same in the US (somebody tell me if I'm wrong), it's dough, like Pillsbury (sp?) dough, not pastry all flaky-like... and it is a hotdog sausage style, not like the pork sausage used in the UK.
but I personally prefer bacon wrappings around chipolatas. 
do.

Right. It's not sugary pastry. It's actually Pillsbury dough wrapped around a hotdog and baked. And the hotdogs are not pork sausage. They're the kind that taste like bologna ... you know, made out of whatever is left over from the pig all mixed together 
<----Very happy to be vegetarian

Not all of them are left over from pig meat and taste like bologna...
There's chicken. Tastes a lot better.

I went veggie before they started making turkey burgers and stuff like that. All I remember is regular pig hotdogs. Poor piggies

You take Pillsbury Cresant rolls and small sausges. Roll the cresant rolls out flat on a floured tray. Take a sausge and place it inside the cresant roll. Roll the cresant roll up around the sausge and shape it in the form of a normal cresant roll. Bake at 350 degree for about 15 minutes on a greased cookie sheet. YUMMY! |

Bestest sausage rolls in the whole world come from Harrods foodhall. Don't know what they put in the pastry, but its some sort of seasoning, and it's so addictive. Used to buy a packet of ten of them, and they would be gone by the time I'd walked back along Knightsbridge to Marble Arch to get my bus home. (which is about 5 mins walk) 
Them, and the hot ones I used to get for breakfast when I worked for the railways, from Liverpool Street Station. Used to start work at 4 am, and catch the bakers just as they were opening up, so got the stuff really fresh. Used to get one of those sausage rolls every day.
It is now 3.15 am and I am now starving because of this thread

It sounds like Christmas dinner in the UK is not much different than ours. We usually have turkey and ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, peas, brussel sprouts or broccoli, green beans and sweet potatoes. Then afterwards we have pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake and maybe chocolate cake. Of course, there is the obligitory chocolate candies I make and the Cella cherries. Iced tea and eggnog and sometimes Wassail. But one year, we did have waffles because my mother-in-law was in charge.
Christmas Eve, after church, consists of cocktail shrimp, cocktail weenies, crab cakes and Swedish meatballs. And lots and lots and lots of Buttershots, of course.
Query, though. What exactly is Christmas pudding? I may try that this year, as long as it has nothing to do with animal's internal organs.

Thanks! Very good suggestions, both:)
Yes, well, I married the man who is allergic to everything
Anything that ever came out of an egg or has feathers will send him straight to the hospital. He was a vegetarian for so long that he can no longer switch back to eating beef, pork or any other kind of meat. And he is *very* lactose intolerant...
So... no roast beasts of feathers or fur, no lovely puddings and thick creamy sauces full of pan drippings and bits, creamed onions and souffles....
*tucks her hobbitness back out of view*
It has taken me 6 years to get good at this whole vegan cooking thing, but I'm running out of ideas!
So thanks!
And hello, oh new come friend from afar!
