Christmas Dinner

No idea. We're visiting relatives for the day, and whatever they cook up, I feel certain it will be awful. The wife, who shall remain unnamed, thinks she can cook. (She can't.) We will gulp down the food as quickly as possible, smile, and claim it's great.

Of course, the children have no filter, so if one of them yells that the food is yucky, there's nothing to be done.

Wish me luck.

You should try hotpot. Slice the meat and vegetables up (make sure there's a good selection, at least a dozen different foodstuffs) as if to prepare them for stir fry. Put them in a deep sieve which you dip into the boiling water to cook. Serve with different sauces - salty and hot work especially well, but anything strong flavoured will do. Everyone gets a say in what goes in in each round of cooking.
