Brussels sprout heavy bubble and squeak after Christmas. 

Yep, loving that!

With proper butchers sausages and a poached egg!

All of it except turkey, don't do turkey, dry tasteless bird.

Although by the 28th I'll be hankering for a chinese.

Glass of port and some dark chocolate covered nuts.

I think that depends on how you cook it. In our family we have on some occasions revolted and deliberately not had turkey. One year we had a massive lump of roast beef, on another rather memorable occasion we had a duck, and chicken for them that didn't want duck.

Phwoar. Can me and the missus come round to yours? 

I prefer Boxing Day too: turkey, bubble, stuffing, pickle, salad. Cold Xmas pud with cream. Get in! Nom nom.

Beef is the default position in our house.

We always get a Charlie Barley Stornoway Black Pudding in for christmas.

Best black pudding ever. No contest.

I'm going with the trad turkey and trimmings for my ultimate fave, but every now and then I push the boat out and try something completely different. It depends on whether I have time. I enjoy cooking if time is available, otherwise it'll be the usual fare.

I did a turkey galantine one year, which involved boning the turkey (oooh, that was fun), stuffing it (equally pleasurable), and rolling it (yeah, yeah). This year, I think I might do an Asian-inspired, slow-cooked leg of lamb, which could turn into an Indian raan if my mum is still in rehab over Christmas.

Slow cooked lamb-mmmm.  Do you do a spice rub?

For you, my little choux-fleur, anything.

Another fan of a bit of crisped up bubble and squeak.

The winner for me is sausage meat mixed with sage and onion stuffing. 

Roll on Christmas din dins.

Actually, I was thinking of a Raymond Blanc recipe where he does slow-cooked shin of beef, but with lamb instead.

Aye the whole lot.
Black pudding and salmon starters, roast turkey dinner with goose fat roast tatties, Yorkie puds and skirlie. My g/f makes amazing skirlie.
Sprouts are fab, folk that don't like them were probably force fed overcooked and oversalted mush when they were kids and have never had them proper cooked. I like frying them off at the end with pancetta.
Honey roast parsnips!!
We're having gammon as well and there's only the two of us!

Bailey's for breakfast of course.

Jalapeno

The trad spread is awesome.

As well as Sprouts with bacon & chestnuts, chestnut stuffing (my own), Turkey and Ham pie, Turkey curry.
