Christmas Eve Curry

[Melman Giraffe]

Its tradition for us to go for a curry on Christmas eve, this year will be a take away being in Tier 4. Who else has a curry on Christmas eve?

[Wadeski]

Always a big fish dinner on Xmas eve, but that's because my family has roots in Central Europe. I'm doing a scallop and crab starter followed by a whole side of salmon.

[sherman]

Curry is what you make after christmas with left over turkey.

[spikeyhead]

I'll be having prawns with spring onion, ginger and lime

Not on Christmas Eve, but had a good one during the evening of Boxing Day a couple of years ago..!

Prawn on Puree then Chicken Tikka Dansak, Mushroom Rice and Bombay Aloo.. 2 perfect courses..!

Chilli on jacket wedges with mountains of salsa and cheese late afternoon followed by stupid amount of cheese and port from about 8pm

I am tempted as I was thinking this earlier today. As my preferred takeaway is run by Muslims, I will go for Xmas Day instead if it's open otherwise tomorrow night.

Edit: just called and it's closed Xmas Day so tomorrow is looking likely.

Think I might join you in a virtual sense.

Cultural appropriation of the very worst kind.

Cote de porc Parisienne on the menu this year, tonight is chili night!

[Salmonofdoubt]

Every year I have a Christmas Eve curry and have done for 20 years. So it will be a takeaway Chicken Tikka Bhuna at mine.

Oysters & steak tonight

Mussels tomorrow

Just need to find someone to brave the shop for crusty bread as we are self isolating. Got no shallots for the oysters nor celery/bread for the mussels but we soldier on.

Usually there is 6-10 of us Christmas Eve so I do something like a curry or a chili or tacos something serve yourself and social. Won't be happening this year which is a shame.

Just something from the freezer for me,as CBA any more cooking. Same for the kids.
Last few years we've had curry on Xmas day, takeaway, rather than turkey. Not this year alas

[MonkeyBusiness]

I'd have one on Xmas day given a choice.

[Aydogflipper]

Chinese takeaway for us is a Christmas Eve tradition. looking forward to it as we haven't had one pretty much since last Christmas.

When it was still an option I saw an Indian restaurant advertising a Christmas Day menu, we considered booking as a change to the norm but Tier rules put paid to that.

[CustardOnChips]

We tend to alternate between a Chinese and Curry.

Having pizza this year.

[RC1807]

I've done that with mates in years past. Beers from lunchtime, then a curry on the way home.
Tonight it'll be gnocchi and home made arrabiatta sauce.
No pubbage permitted here as the whole coountry is treated as Tier 3, but changing to the equivalent of Tier 4 from 26th.

Phaal or Vindaloo later, but I'm working a night shift so 1900 is breakfast.
