Soooo.... the kids have decided that dinner Christmas Eve will be pies -
For the vegetarians : quiche with pearl onions, spinach and mushrooms sauteed in butter and garlic, then sprinkled with swiss cheese
For the carnivores - the same plus sausages?
Dessert apple pie, egg nog pie, what else is Christmasy? Not mince meat, i don't think i could sell that. Chocolate cream with peppermint sprinkles? Something with coconut made to look like snow?
I should add - we're working on something that starts with a crust of mashed potatoes, I'm thinking Duchess potatoes nicely browned on top to get a crisp layer, topped with green bean casserole with french fried onions..... That'd be for Christmas Day. It's based on my youngest's preferred thanksgiving left-over feast!

3. The thing with the mashed potato crust is a variant of the English dish
Shepard's pie.

9. I make something similar, but use browned ground beef, corn, diced bell pepper as a "filling", with more mashed potato spread over the top, brushed with butter and baked in the oven till potatoes just get browned. Served with chopped chives over all.
Sometimes add diced onion to the ground beef as it browns and always add spices to the beef mixture in the skillet. The oven is primarily just to brown the potatoes on top and let all ingredients sort of meld. I find if it rests some out of the oven, it slices better to plate at the table.

7. bacon in quiche is delicious ya know
I make a quiche with artichoke hearts (Trader Joe's has great ones with stems included, in jars), kalamata olives (pitted), fresh basil, minced red onion, and gruyere or fontina. It's damned good.

14. A delicious (and vegetarian) appetizer is a tomato/basil/cheese pie.
It can be eaten at room temperature, too.
Let me know if you are interested and I will dig up the link for the recipe.
^^^son had to be scared straight.....of something.

15. One of my winter go-tos is root vegetable pie
Dice enough potatoes, sweet potatoes, parsnips, carrots, turnips, rutabagas, onions - whatever's on hand - and put them in a pie pan lined with pastry. I like to add peas for color, and mushrooms to give it a little moisture. Season with salt and pepper. Make a white sauce - you can add curry powder to give it a different character - and pour over the vegetables (it takes about a cup of sauce for a 9" pie). Cover with another crust, and bake.
I once had a lamb and apricot pie in England which I really liked and haven't been able to duplicate yet: there's a whole cuisine of meat pies in the British Isles.
For dessert, pumpkin pie! A real mince pie with meat and suet would be interesting, but from what I've read is a lot of trouble to make. The ones I've had with canned minced meat filling were too sweet for my tastes.

I seriously doubt the pie-and-jam primitive even knows what gruyere or fontina is.

I got a ham chilling in the fridge, waiting for Christmas morning.
And whatever else the misses decides to fix. :drool:
BTW, "vegetarian" is an old Indian word for "poor hunter" :lmao:

The DUmmy "vegetarian" recipes sure do have a lot of eggs, milk, cheese, and butter.
Don't they know that every quiche stops a beating (chicken) heart, and dairy sweatshops rob helpless innocent brown-eyed cows of the precious mothers' milk their babies need to live?
Ice cream is murder! Sweet, delicious murder.

You don't need to remind me of those "dairy sweatshops". I grew up on a dairy farm. 100+ head, twice a day, every day, any weather.
In reality, you don't own a dairy farm, and those cows aren't owned by you.
It's the other way around!

Let's see, eggs, butter, and cheese. Yeah, that's some real hardcore vegan shit you got going on there, DUmmies.

I'm eating Stewart's 'Peanut Butter Pandemonium' right now. Carl knows just how good Stewart's Ice Cream is. (Karin might, too.)

I had to look that up: "Vanilla ice cream loaded with peanut butter cups, peanut butter, and fudge swirls."

Me too. I don't get quiche in particular, it's like a cold omelet stuck to a pie shell but with most of the stuff that makes a hot omelet good missing and some bland-to-horrible vegetable crap added in its place.
-
I always served my quiche hot. I haven't made any in a few years, but my favorite was pesto, tomato, and bacon.
-
Sounds far more appetizing than every other version of it I've forced down in the interests of peace in the family or just not hurting some friend's feelings.

Double Gross! I would not be able to swallow that. I would not even be able to look at it. She says she makes it a lot, it's a staple. There is someone on this earth suffering greatly.
