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

Oh, by the way, we also bought a box of Cadbury's Milk Tray assorted chocolates!

I'm sure you'll enjoy it all; we've had 2 Xmases in our MH in the past, once in Hawes and once in Chirk, and very much enjoyed it.  Both times we went for a long walk in the morning and then started on the preparations, not eating until about 4pm, but that's the way we prefer it.  Thoroughly enjoyed it all; have a lovely day Malcolm.

LaughingNot quite Xmas dinner but a few years ago we had full "xmas " dinner in August on a club CL site , our friends were over from South Africa and so we cooked a 4 course meal for 8 of us....including Xmas tree and crackers , and set up a table with the permission of the site owners complete with candles, table pressies and flower arrangements!!!. and a visit from santa with Pressies

Starters ..smoked salmon or Prawn cocktail ,or Egg Mayo

Mains : roast Turkey crown , and Roast Pork, roast pots creamed pots Carrots vichy ,peas , sprouts, roast parsnips and sweetcorn( our God daughter's favourite), green beans(all served in veg dishes and meat platters)

 Pud; Christmas plum pud , with brandy cream or Ice Cream ,

Cheese Board,

Coffee and mints and mince pies,

Then Charades and brandy for the adults .

The children now in their 20's still talk about it as very memorable day , and it was worth all the planning , we took the dishes home to wash, all in black plastic bags .I know lazy but it meant as we were leaving the next day we were able to spend all the time with our friends.My friends parents came and it was the last Xmas we all had together as they both died by the next xmas. So if you think its not pssible well belive me it is ,it was fun and has given us some wonderful memories.
