1. My wife likes to make a tenderloin

and it’s delicious 😋

I seem to remember having turkey at my mom’s but we probably had ham too. Sandwiches for days.

a prime rib. This year I’m making Japanese Jiggly Cheesecake for dessert. It’s awesome!

14. Ham

We get the free spiral ham with 400 points at Giant. It’s a way to easier meal than turkey (no gravy or mashed potatoes!) and honestly once a year is plenty turkey for me. Also macaroni & cheese, the usual green bean casserole, another vegetable, coleslaw, rolls, cheesecake and cookies for dessert.

18. Thank you very much, It sounds very similar to my dinner. Enjoy.

26. Quorn roast for the vegetarians; ham for the meat people

Quorn is a meat substitute, mostly for poultry, and I think it’s one of the best. Even meat eaters like it.

[debm55]

27. Thank you biophile. Great idea. Enjoy.

28. My father was a hog farmer.

So we had turkey!

Seriously, we had enough pork the rest of the year, so we went with the big bird or some moo cow on holidays. There was also a ham, so it is not like we didn't have any!

[debm55]

35. Thank you OldBald1701E Enjoy

38. We always had beef for Christmas, ham for Easter

[soldierant]

39. Used to be duck, when I was younger and had the initiative and energy to work with the Nero Wolfe Cook Book.

And also when duck was less expensive, Nowadays it's whatever I feel like. But not turkey not ham, both of which I dislike.

(You can have the turkey and ham and I'll take the lima beans.)

[debm55]

43. Thank you very much soldierant.
