Oh...this is hard. You're so evil! :P

A full plate of Christmas dinner at my house consists of: Turkey (with gravy and stuffing), mashed potatoes, carrots, potato salad, and sometimes this delicious shrimp soaked in a special sauce my Nonna used to make.

Things I would get rid of (in order):

Potato salad

Mashed Potatoes

Turkey (only if it was white meat, dark meat I would keep)

(WHY the turkey you ask!? Because you can have turkey at any time of the year, but we only make my Nonna's shrimp recipe once a year during Christmas...and yes, the recipe is so good I would rather get rid of the turkey first! That, and my Mom ALWAYS makes a dry turkey. :( )

(I would keep the carrots, because the carrots my Mom makes are to DIE for!)

So ...

Awesome shrimp = KEEP!!!!!!

Carrots = Keep!

I eat now turkey monthly. Full roast turkey with most of the trimmings. It can last me for main meat for a month. Got this years Christmas one in a preChristmas sale at Lidlys

saw Tesco same size week after a £5 more. Looking forward to January and February when they reduce them to £6 or less each . Got four one year when they were £3 eack.

I have two roast meals from them and maybe a few slices for sandwiches the rest is cut up into cubes and put in tupperware boxes and frozen. The rest of the turkey bits are put in huge pan with the extra roast potatoes cubed plus all the excess veg plus a load more froven veg . Add water and turkey gravy and simmer. That turkey stew last me a week. The turkey cubes used for turkey soups with noodles or turkey currys or turkey with savoury sauce with rice. It goes a long long way. Plus boil up the remains in a pan with water to try strip any excess meat or fat off to add to the dogs complete biscuits to add fun. The bones throw away as there dangerous to dogs as told in other threads.

Y'know what's amazing me is the variety of Different foods that people seem to have on their plates.

Although in truth Turkey is a relatively new choice for the meat at Xmas traditionally it was goose.

But the mass production of the turkey has supplanted it.
