I'm on the look out for ideas for Xmas lunch. The boys are at their fathers for the day so for the 1st time in years it will be just the 2 of us - so I want to make it special. So what would you cook if it were/is just 2 of you?

( don't mind some left over turkey but..don't want to waste food!)

I personally would think really long and hard about who could be invited? There are plenty of people in need of a good xmas dinner, and cooking xmas dinner for two doesn't work very well in my experience. I would much rather be cooking for 8-10 than even 4.

Pheasant? Or a duck? They both roast well, and you won't have tons of leftovers.

Xmas dinner for two would negate the one aspect of christmas that I actually see any value in, getting together with your family for a good nosh up.

Don't think we're being mean or anything. We both have elderly parents who aren't keen on travelling - one set is in Cornwall and even offering to collect wouldn't work - sister is off to her in-laws - OH's sister is celebrating her 1st family xmas with new baby so also not keen on travel. We are seeing all these folk over the holiday for teas and visits, just not on the day itself! I see your point though.. i did wonder about doing Xmas dinner on Boxing day when the boys will be back and we will be all together but that still leaves what to eat on the day itself
