Well, turkey used to be traditional when we spent Christmas Day at my mum's - although in later years she got fed up with it and tended to try other things, like pork with apple sauce.
These days, with it just being Stuart and me, we don't have turkey because a/ Stuart doesn't like it and b/ it's a staple part of my normal, weekly diet, so it's not exactly special.
So we've had our own tradition for the past ten years. We have steaks, with gravy and sprouts,
baby carrots, peas and sweetcorn, and mashed potatoes. Getting hungry just thinking about it.
We have a traditional 'pre-Christmas family night' though, usually a couple of weeks before Christmas, when we get to exchange family gifts. And then, we have a traditonal Chinese takeout for dinner.
Which isn't to say that I'm not drooling over the thought of your Christmas Day sweet 'n' sour, Chris. Sounds delicious!
