They did as well as they could, considering it all happens Christmas Eve for them.

We'd the dinner at half nine, though, my dessert was two Rennies.

  1. It’s not a traditional Xmas dinner, but looks lovely. I’d prefer gravy instead of whatever the potatoes are slathered in (butter?).

  2. Lucky man!! I saw another poor fella here who had a Swedish lad cook for him. Cold fishy dinner

  3. This looks more appetising to me than our traditional Christmas dinner. Never been a fan.

    Thant chicken looks great and the spuds look perfect. Eat the peas with a buttery spoon of the spuds and you’re away.

  4. We had kebabs from a place on Talbot Street, were lovely

  5. Poor you, having your in-laws cook for you, trying to please you with food they would not usually prepare. Are you really looking for an avalanche of sympathy? I spent Christmas Day visiting my mother who has finally had to go into a nursing home. My dinner was a sandwich I brought myself. A sandwich and sadness. All previous 20 years, I cooked us a lovely dinner, and we were at home together. I hope you thanked your in-laws properly, and I hope their attention is never brought to this post.

  6. Quite funny seeing the Irish basing the Germans on cooking. These two are two peas in the same pod, as far as cooking is concerned.

  7. In laws are German as well.They did salmon on the 24th,have never been back at Christmas time!lol

  8. This looks terrific. I hope you are thankful for that meal.

    I recently saw something called Christmas dinner from another country which was eggs and GRAY.

    it was atrocious and a crime against humanity.

  9. Well done to your in laws for doing their best for you

  10. Went to a top eaterie in Cologne once under recommendation. It was possibly the worst steak I’ve ever had . Pork knuckle in a beer hall was decent however.

  11. Did they change their normal traditional dinner for your taste buds?

  12. I also am in Germany with in-laws. We had hotdogs and potato salad! Delish!

  13. Maybe you should have clarified in your post that this is their attempt at an Irish Christmas dinner and not a traditional German Christmas dinner …

    Traditional German Christmas dinner is a roast goose or venison with kale or red cabbage, potato dumplings and light gravy.

  14. Those peas look like they’d do some damage in a pea shooter.
