Do you go overboard with Christmas food or just get what you know will be eaten?

I tend to buy raw food when it's on special and freeze it. It means that together with jars of antipasti, and the gammon(yes, me too). Ican provide plenty of good food, and not throw stuff out, even if the offspring turn up with lots of pals at Hogmanay. Just a point. If you get good steak on special offer, keep it in the fridge under cooking oil, with a bay leaf or two, and some peppercorns(no salt). I use an old icecream container. It keeps fresh for weeks, and doesn't get ruined, as good steaks always do when frozen. Put them straight out of the oil into a hot dry pan.Have a good time.
