Easy starters for Christmas Day help!

You are obviously all more organised than me.
I'm not doing dinner anyway, that's the advantage of having adult children. ;

What about a big board of Parma ham, salami etc sun dried tomatoes baby mozzarellas, olives, pate etc and crusty bread that everyone just helps them selves to

We always do small plates of prawns and smoked salmon with salad and rose marie sauce on the side. I put out a couple of plates of brown bread and butter.

I sometimes think of doing something different for change but never do as I only do this starter once a year anyway 😀

What about figs, mozarella with honey And parma ham
Hummus dip
Pate

We always find the main course so much on Xmas day that we don’t have starters. I do a 3 course meal for New Year’s Day though.

Prawn cocktail to start, but this year I’m thinking of a charcuterie board as everyone likes that and we can eat as little or as much as each person wants.

We usually have beef as New Year’s Day main course, then a shop bought cheesecake or cake with cream as dessert

I do prawn cocktail now, I used to do homemade soup, but cant be fussed with that this year. I do small portions so everyone has room for the main meal. I have 6 for Christmas Day and 12 for Boxing Day, I do a full roast each day! And buffets in the evenings.

My MIL and SIL like very plain food, so I have to cater for their tastes. The buffet is a mix of all sorts, mainly M and S stuff.
