The after Christmas food is normally the best bit in our house - all that left-over Turkey, Ham, Beef, Pork - it means I don't have to cook either. Just jacket tatties or new tatties, salad and pickles - unfortunately this year no left over desserts - never mind the fruit bowl is still full and there is plenty of cheese and biscuits and some Christmas cake!

I may ring the changes and do a turkey curry if the mood takes me - or one of our family favourites - turkey-a-la-king. (Large vol-au-vents with turkey, ham and peppers in a white/cheese sauce - scrummy!)
