Christmas Dinner

Main course: Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, roast potatoes, roast carrots and parsnips, steamed carrots, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, two kinds of gravy, bread stuffing, bread sauce, apple sauce, cranberry sauce, mustard. No sausage stuffing, spiced beef, horseradish etc, we definitely don't have enough people.	Turkey (ordered), ham, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, sprouts, cauliflower, plain flour, bread for crumbs, onion, bayleaves, cooking apples, cranberry sauce in a jar
Dessert: Trifle. For which we need to make and freeze the sponges soon. And buy the fruit and sherry. Also, some sort of snow-scene decorated cake, but not a fruit cake, because none of like like actual Christmas cake. Perhaps an iced bara brith? Mainly we'll be eating the trifle, anyway.	Eggs for sponge, custard powder, oat milk, oat cream, preserved fruit (pears? peaches?), glace cherries, raspberry jam, sherry. Mince pies? Pudding?
