best meal of Christmas, which is on Boxing Day and consists of all the leftover veg (roasties, sprouts, leeks, peas, carrots, parsnips) mashed
up and fried in the dripping to make superb bubble'n'squeak , with hot
gravy and cold cuts of turkey and whatever else we had (beef, goose
etc), cold ham, pork pie and pickled cabbage onions and walnuts.
Is it just us that has this tradition, or is it more widespread ?

Who can tell if you are alone in Umra?
We don't recycle the veg, but Boxing Day (and a few others) use the meat left over from Christmas Day (leg of pork usually in this house), left
over stuffing (chestnut, but also sage & Onion) bacon rolls sausage meat balls etc. etc. balanced by salad.

get together just before Christmas as it is a Danish tradition.
In recent years all the offspring of my Danish m-i-l have managed a get- together but it wasn't possible this year. Last year there were around
30 of us, 3 generations, so we needed 2 sittings.
Before the meal the kids (and some adults) had a marzipan pig making competition and the meal started for the grown ups with sild and
schnapps. Skol ! Lots of beer and wine during the meal for the non-
drivers (usually NOT me now).
The meal concludes with a rice dessert with a single almond in it, and whoever gets it wins a marzipan pig (bought originally). There is often
also a Kransekage which is delicious. Then more schnapps.
I was first introduced to this on Christmas Eve in 1977 for my then
future wife and couldn't believe what a boozy lot they were. Just my
type :)-a God knows how I managed to drive to Coventry the next morning
for Christmas at home...
