Challenge #25: Anything But Turkey

[miss_s_b]

So I know we're all* going to be cooking festive treats this week. And I love festive food, generally. But turkey is so boring. So give me your non-turkey festive food.

Do you have a great sprout method?
Is your Christmas Pudding to die for?
How about a nice Christmas ham?

Get to it!

(And Merry Christmas/Newtonmas/Saturnalia/Yule/Midwinter Festival of your choice)

* OK, maybe not all, but you know what I mean

I cook loads, and in the past have done so professionally, and I don't know what a gratin setting is, so I think we're all learning from each other, which is good :)

Maybe a southern Europe thing? I'm in Spain, and it looks like gratin is more of a French technique, but I mostly read recipes from US/AUS/CAN so I'm not sure how rare it is to use the setting on meat rather than on like, mac and cheese or lasagna.

Sorry, I was unclear, I've made a bunch of gratins (they are French in origin, I think) but I've never known an oven with a specific gratin setting.

No, I figured that was what you meant -- I've seen gratin stuff in a lot of places for like potato and pasta dishes so I know that part isn't rare. :) But yeah, that makes it clearer.
