Turkey
This one is probably one of the most popular dishes at Christmas, because it is usually the main course! Other popular dishes include ham or a roast beef, but in the UK, turkey is definitely the main course of choice. People often buy a frozen turkey, thaw it, and then roast it in the oven for a couple of hours before adding garnishes, sauces…and then it’s ready to carve and serve!

Roast Potatoes
There is nothing like scoop of properly roasted potatoes! These are often cut into small squares, and put into the oven with goose fat or olive oil, along with herbs such as parsley and thyme, and salt and pepper. Once the edges are browned, the potatoes are good to go!

2

Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce is another type of sauce that is made from, yes: cranberries! Though it often accompanies Thanksgiving dinner in North America, it is a popular sauce for Christmas dinner here in Britain. Pour a little onto the turkey and stuffing along with the gravy for a wonderful mixture of flavours!

Leek and Potato Soup

This simple and festive soup will start your meal off right without weighing you down. It's hearty enough for a meal at any other time and the ingredients are incredibly affordable. If you've got a guest whose wallet is a bit on the lighter side, they can contribute this dish without breaking the bank. Sprinkle oyster crackers or crushed saltines over the top for a little crunch.

Christmas Pudding

Christmas pudding is a dessert that is made from dried fruit and is normally served with brandy butter. It is also tradition to soak the cake with brandy and set it alight before serving. A Christmas pudding made with figs is referred to as “figgy pudding.” Although people may serve a number of different desserts at Christmas, Christmas pudding is the most traditional.

Christmas Cake

Christmas cake in the UK is started months before the holiday. The rich fruit and nut cake is "fed" with brandy or whisky - a few spoonfuls at a time, every few days for weeks.

Before Christmas, the cake is enrobed in a rolled layer of marzipan and topped by a thick layer of rolled white icing. Then the whole thing is neatly wrapped in a red ribbon and topped with a holiday picture.

Mince Pies

Mince pies are tiny pies that are filled with fruits such as raisins, cranberries, and sultanas, as well as chopped nuts and spices such as cinnamon, sugar, and nutmeg. Once they are baked, they are dusted with a little icing sugar and ready to eat – perfect with a cup of tea or a glass of wine, and a nice finish to a delicious Christmas dinner!

7

Yorkshire Pudding
Yorkshire pudding originates from England, and is made from a batter that includes eggs, milk, and flour. It’s usually eaten with the roast turkey, but once in awhile (aside from Christmas) it can be served as a dessert! Although Yorkshire Puddings are traditionally served with roast beef, many families choose to serve them alongside their Christmas dinner.
