[New shoot]

What are you putting on the table this year then?  We don't do parsnips or sprouts and I'm probably not doing turkey either, but that's just me 

I have my eyes on a beef joint and am planning our own spuds as roasties, cabbage, mashed swede and perhaps some broad beans from the freezer.  Christmas pud is not a favourite here either, but I have lots of fruit in the freezer I am debating using.  Perhaps rhubarb semi-fredo, or something with rasps or pink currants.  I also have plum brandy and raspberry vodka for a post dinner snifter with a nice coffee on the side 

Its a modest list, but its all mine and I grew it, so I'm more than happy.  I bet others have a substantially more varied offing though 

[Aled]

New Shoots that's far better than my list, I've got parsnips only!
Cheers

There's only 3 of us, so not going overboard.  But there will be home grown pots, parsnip, sprouts, apple at least to go with a duck.  Mum has pickled red cabbage which she and OH like, and made the mincemeat, and I will make stuffing balls with hg onion and something else to jolly them up.  The chestnuts will have to be bought.  Afters is homemade Christmas ice cream ...

PS - anyone know when we might get flashing Christmas smilies??

[I Love Spuds]

This year we have spuds (obviously), carrots, leeks, 3 types of cabbage, 2 types of kale and some broccoli. Pickled beets and onions for cheese course as well. Various  herbs, spices and garlic etc. No Brussels though, can't  stand them, yuk!   

Pretty pleased, as this is the first year in my new garden.

Ps - plum brandy and raspberry vodka. A very MERRY Christmas  round yours then new shoot

Spuds, last few parsnips, last few swedes, few leeks - unless they get eaten beforehand. There's beans and peas in freezer. Club root spoiled the greens else there would be some. Be better next year as I know where not to grow the brassicas on the two allotments.

Spuds, mashed and roasted, swedes, mashed with butter and black pepper, parsnips, roasted, carrots, choice of either runner beans, broad beans or peas from the freezer, possibly leeks in cheese sauce if I have time.  I know that's loads of own veg but I don't eat meat, although the rest of the family do, so, by popular request it will be leg of lamb as nobody really likes turkey. 
Pudding is either Christmas pud, or French lemon tart with either home made custard or home made vanilla ice cream.
The jury's still out on whether I'm going to do a starter.  If one is "requested", it will doubtless be prawn cocktail or baked camembert with home made bread.

I've just exhausted myself by even thinking about it.

Forgot to mention that I have my own pickled onions, so my Christmas stilton, will be accompanied by home made pickled onions!

do I feel hungry or do I feel hungry reading these replies what a feast I could come to your house at Christmas because it all good grub

you know traditional Christmas used to be a thing to look forward years ago because it was food that was only on the table at Christmas you can have turkey any time of the year now so other meats of fish are also on the Christmas menu

we used to have cockerel at Christmas because my dad used to rear quite a few of then for selling at Christmas talk about feathers and guts but when it was stuffed and served on the table god that was lovely

you can't beat all that home grown veg on the table at Christmas saying I grew that

Well I’ve got tiny garlic cloves if we should need them, plenty of parsnips, a few paltry leeks if they last that long, still got beetroot in the plot with some carrots if they survive this arctic blast & I spy with my little eye some decent looking sprouts for the first time in years. There cavelo Nero & some others but I need to get in the brassica cage for a good rummage. There’s raspberries & other soft fruits in the freezer. Plus a very goodly array of jams & pickles & jellIes and also some elderflower gin & crab apple gin & brandy to try,which are firsts for me. Oh & there was some parsley on the plot last time I looked & there’s sage in the garden. So I think thatlll do nicely

[DD.]

I think we've managed the lot this year. We have:

Spuds (for roast & mash)
Carrots
Peas (first harvest always frozen for Christmas)
Parsnips
Sprouts
Parsley, sage, thyme & onions for the stuffing
Strawberries for the trifle (some don't like Christmas pud)

Not used but available sitting in the plot will be:
Swede (those in the know will be surprised at this)
Savoy and January King cabbage
Leeks

DD, if there were no peas on your homegrown Christmas table, the disturbances in the force would be felt forum wide   

And on the subject of swede, I have big proper swedes this year, the like of which I have never managed before    You may be the pea god, but after I go harvest one and present a piccy on here, I shall surely be known as the swede princess - well at least until next year when I revert to growing twisted, mangled specimens that look like they would scream when pulled up and scare folk when I post pictures

Now I have scraped myself off the floor because DD has swede (and yes, I shall be in contact as no, I don't have any again) Our Christmas table will have:

Parsnips
Potatoes
Red Cabbage with Apples
Sprouts
Leeks with Thyme
Parsley, Sage & Onion for stuffing
Carrots
Yacon (That's a "first" but it will be lightly sauted in butter with a dash of garlic, yes, our own garlic too)
Runner Beans from freezer

Always feels good to be able to provide for the family meal in the depths of Winter. There are also lots of preserves for hampers and boxes, which will clear quite a lot of space on the garage shelves 

[lettice]

Brussels Sprouts
Parsnips
Baby carrots will be picked from patio pots.
Leeks
Broad beans that were frozen specifically for eating over Christmas. Will also be using some runner beans and peas from the freezer.
Have some frozen turnip mash that may come out.
Choice of differing potatoes from potato shed. But will probably choose the Mozart for roasting with the Turkey.
Have some new potatoes growing in a small tub outside, so will be new potatoes to eat over Christmas. Long time since I have grown potatoes for Christmas and had a look the other day and they are doing great.
Sage and Parsley added to the stuffing.

We as a family have Sprouts Cauliflower spuds leeks Parsnips cabage and pickleed onions. All grown by my 9 year old Grandson on his first plot. (ok its a small bit of my allotment and he has had some help ) But and it is a big but. He has done the majority including some of the best weed removal I have ever seen so this year is the year Sam provided the veg for three seperate festive feasts. Well done that young lad
