What's for Easter dinner?

Maybe it's an ordinary day at your house, or have you got something special planned?

I'll start - we're having roast chicken, potatoes au gratin, sage/apple/onion stuffing, and petit pois.  Sweet potato raisin spice layer cake for dessert.

Were having Ham, peas, au gratin potatoes, I'm having sweet corn, Dh is having leeks & sage/onion stuffing , bacon rolls, green bean casserole, for dessert we have Hagen Daz ice cream in the freezer.

I wish we were having chicken! My family usually does ham, which I hate.

No way!  I prefer ham to chicken, but I can't find a free-range ham

My family always does ham as well but I like it though sorry to hear that you don't like it maybe you can take some other kind of meat that you like instead of eating ham. I don't see what the problem with that would be that just means that there is more ham for everyone else. that is if you want to to take something else of course lol.

If it's a potluck, maybe. Otherwise I'm not sure I'd do that....

FWIW I hate gammon too. But I see outdoor reared pork everywhere.... 

We're having roast chicken. We're not particularly religious so we don't do anything out of the ordinary for Easter dinner. Though I might make a pud just because there's an excuse to.

My family get togethers are usually potluck whoever has the dinner at there house they cook the meat an everyone else brings something to contribute. I was just thinking it would be better to bring something you like to have rather than change the meat just for 1 person I don't think it should matter if its your family but thats just my opinion.

Surely you could go without meat for one night?

Just a difference in family cultures I guess. I was always taught that you eat what the host offers and if you really can't stomach it, make a gracious excuse and get a burger on the way home.

LOL!  Agreed... done that a time or two myself, rather than offending the host... family or not!

I can't imagine ever bringing my own food to someone's house, to be honest! I don't eat red meat, so if I'm at dinner somewhere and beef is being served, I just eat whatever else there is and decline the meat politely.

I'm going out to a nice restaurant for a meal this year with an aunt, two cousins and their spouses. Yay! 

Im not purposely doing an 'Easter' meal... but as it turns out, i'm doing lamb, which is fairly Easter-ish... neck of lamb with French-style peas and parmesan mash.


*edited for appalling grammar.

BF and I are going to be eating out. Probably at O'Charley's. I'm going to miss being at home with my grandad's cooking.  My family goes all out. Usually we have ham, steak, homemade onion rings, and tons of other stuff.

Well, we are going to pretend that Spring has sprung; and I am fixing Southern fried chicken, potato salad, and deviled eggs. 

I'm doing a whole chicken.  Taking the backbone out, laying flat, then stuffing inside the skin with ricotta cheese, lemon zest and chives.  Mash, beans, salad, etc.
