As I've walked through Leicester, I've noticed that many dining establishments are already promoting fixed-price Christmas dinners. The local pub is offering a Christmas menu available all day from November 27th through Christmas Eve. (One must keep Christmas afternoon free to listen to the Queen's speech...) For $56 per adult and $24 per child, here are the options. Pick one from each category.
STARTERS
Roasted Tomato Soup (V) served with puree of basil and mozzarella croutons
Smoked Haddock Fishcake with a pepper, lime, and coriander salsa
Game and Cranberry Terrine served with rocket leaves with a red wine and redcurrant jelly
Medallions of Roe Deer with roasted chestnut puree, winter leaves, and game reduction
MAINS served with a selection of seasonal veg
Traditional Roast Turkey with chipolata and bacon rolls, walnut and apricot stuffing with cranberry sauce
Gnocchi Tossed with Wild Mushrooms (V) sage and olive oil, rich tomato cream sauce topped with Parmesan shavings
Pepper-Crusted 10oz. Sirloin Steak with parsnip and vanilla puree with a thyme jus
Cajun-Spiced Sea Bream with chardonnay creamed peas and lardons of smoked bacon
PUDDINGS [Desserts]
Rich Christmas Pudding with Warm Brandy Sauce [think dreaded fruit cake]
Blueberry Creme Brule with broken shards of chocolate and a shot of minted berry vodka
Individual Tart Tatin served with warm Christmas pudding ice cream
Coffee and mints
Mince Pies
So who's in for Christmas dinner?
