re: Christmas holiday food: What’s your favorite and what can you do without?

Potted meat fingertip sandwiches

What in the name of French Settlement is happening here? Who makes that, and why do they hate Baby Jesus???

Must have ham and broccoli / rice casserole.
Can do without mashed potatoes or anything else I can get any other day of the year.

Ummm make your own main dish. How hard is that.

You really wouldn't find it awkward to bring a main dish to someone else's home where they have prepared a main?? That's kinda unhinged especially if it's not asked for.

I fricking hate ham, but I don't bring a plate of prime rib to a house when I hear they are serving a ham

Irish cream, ice, and milk is the go to drink.

We alway do traditional Thanksgiving meal but several years ago we decided to start changing it up for Christmas. Last year we did Pastalaya, meat pies, and boudin. This year smoked a brisket and couple racks of ribs with smoked baked beans, smoked jalapeño popper Mac n cheese and sweet potato casserole.

Favorite is a tossup between cornbread dressing and green bean casserole

Least is any other vegetable

Prime rib.

Standing rib roast. It’s a must have.

I cook this every year. Horseradish sauce, chimichuri, potatoes. It just doesn’t do it for me. Everyone loves it. I don’t.

Subprime rib is pretty good, too. It generates a great deal of interest.
