I only have photos of the chicken on the coal pot. I forgot to take after photos. My dad was doing the BBQing :D. Oh and Chocolate did get a taste as a Christmas treat ;). The first 3 photos are of leg, thigh and breast pieces and last 2 are back/ribs, neck and breast pieces again.

Bergy wrote:Cristmas Eve Danish/Swedish Style - Many of you would say Ugh at our selection of food for Chrismas Eve but when you grow up with it you love it and look forward to it - We start off with pickled wine cured herring, Roll mops, achovies and hard boiled eggs with hardtack, then progress to a series of cold cuts like headcheese, liver pate, salami and others accompanied with Danish pickles. This year I made a wonderful salad of Apples and broccoli by Kizzie (great) Ending the dinner with Grapes and asssorted cheeses. So here are a few photo

Everything looks beautiful, y'all! I did take one pic of our table right before dinner. No food pics, my steaks were so thick they took forever to cook and then we snarfed them up :lol: This is about as fancy as we get :lol:
