Is there any meal more gloriously indulgent than a traditional Christmas dinner?
Platters of meat, roast and mashed potatoes, six kinds of veg, pigs in blankets, cauliflower cheese – the list goes on…and that’s before we’ve even got to the turkey.
Christmas pudding? Go on then. And what about the cheeseboard and chocolates for afters?
While it’s a tradition none of us would change, it always means Boxing Day leftovers are more or less guaranteed – but what to do with them?
