What are we all looking forward to chomping down on this Christmas? All food and drink ideas welcome.

For me it’s pudding and custard.

    One side of my family always does a traditional lunch. We have a prawn entree with a family recipe seafood sauce, followed by a big roast turkey with roast vegetables and gravy, then pudding and custard for dessert. The last few years I’ve been making eggnog for post-lunch. We have a few vegans so always do vegan prawns and vegan roast too.

    The other side has more experimental cooks on it and they usually like to do something different each year. Last year we had a prawn and feta bake, moussaka and some kind of salad or vegetable dish. One of the vegans brought homemade mac and cheese too, then we finished off with pudding and custard for dessert.

        I think the ones we get are primarily made out of konjac. A lot of these vegan seafood products use seaweed for flavouring so that might be in there too. They honestly taste very good and have a great meaty texture. Denser and more consistent than real prawns, with a stronger flavour. I usually steal some when the vegans are finished cause I like them so much.

            I’m not sure which ones we buy. Could possibly be the Plant Asia or Lamyong ones as they look familiar. Very similar ingredients in both.
