Jean in Newcastle Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 My MIL just called and asked me to make the main meat dish for our extended family Christmas. There should be about 15 people, about 5 of them college aged. I will have to transport the dish about 30 min. to my SIL's house where we will eat. In the past we've had turkey or a pig's head. I think that both of these might be impractical for different reasons (even though Rough Collie will be very disappointed if I don't make a pig's head). Any suggestions?

itsheresomewhere Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Prime rib or a nice roast. You could make a roast in the crock pot and take it that way so it would stay warm on the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 How much do you want to spend? If you don't mind dropping a pretty penny, then you could do a honeybaked ham and smoked turkey breast. They don't even have to be cooked. I think roast is an easy, economical choice.

Guest Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Yummy brown sugar glazed spiral sliced ham. It tastes great hot or warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Maybe make a large turkey the day before, and bring it already sliced up? We like spiral-sliced, honey baked ham--we don't buy it, but a lovely parishoner gifts us with one every year! I grew up not eating ham EVER, and having crown roast (pork roast) for Christmas, but it's soooo nice to have it all made, and I can't screw it up.

Pink Fairy Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I think we'll ALL be disappointed if you don't do a pig's head! My suggestions: Ham Whole Beef Tenderloin Pot Roast Pork Shoulder Roast (I adore this recipe and it's always a huge hit with a crowd) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariannNOVA Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 We had a honey baked spiral ham tonight at a potluck -- it was excellent. Take a picture of the pig's head if you go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
