Christmas traditions ...

When I was young we lived on a sheep and cattle station and at Christmas time it was usually hot so we always had a cold lunch of chicken and ham and salad, a cold dessert, one year we had yabby cocktails ... they were yummy! With the invention of turkey rolls we started also having cold turkey.

Since I have been married I have been introduced to hot Christmas lunches ... Weber cooked turkey, pork and chicken with roast vegetables, Christmas pudding (yummy with brandy custard!!) We always try to take or arrange seafood too for the starter.

This year we are having lunch at my sister's and we will have a cold lunch, must remember to get some West Coast prawns!!
