Does anyone have any ideas or recipes for cooking Christmas dinner in the caravan?

We've just done our Christmas dinner shopping. We bought a small frozen basted whole turkey 2.92 kg. 8 to 16 hours defrost, 1 hour stand and 2hours 8 mins. cooking time. Bernard Matthews Golden Norfolk. We got stuffing, small sausages wrapped in bacon plus some streaky bacon, mixed herbs and gravy. For veg we have parsnips, swede, Brussels sprouts, carrots and potatoes for roasting. We 've also got Christmas pudding and brandy butter! minced pies. For drinks, we have sherry, Champagne, port and brandy. Our shopping bill at Tesco for all today's shopping came to £115.

By the way, for starters, we have bought two cans of Heinz Cream of Tomato soup and French bread sticks to go with it.

I forgot to mention, we also have bread sauce, a selection of cheeses and a pack of Christmas cracker biscuits.

Malcolm, I think you will need some assistance to eat all that - what time shall we arrive?

P.S   make sure you don't blow the electrics Laughing

You're certainly not short of anything you've got Winking  Enjoy your Christmas dinner and don't partake of the alcoholic beverages too early, you need to keep an eye on everything!

Write your comments here...Perhaps a glass of sherry and mince pie should do for elevenses. Bottle of Champagne with the meal and perhaps some brandy after the Xmas pudding and later some Port to go with the cheeses and biscuits. By the time we're done it will be time to sit back, relax and watch the Queen's speech on the telly!
