Christmas Dinners

In this house, OH is the architect of the Christmas Feast - don't ask me why, but he loves cooking it. As is our tradition (if you can call three years on the trot a tradition) we are having goose, amongst other things (sausages, bacon, turkey breast for Pa-in-law) and enough veg to feed a continent of MC's. So my question is, what do you guys typically give your MC's for Christmas treats? OH wants them to have their own Xmas dinners, and I've veto'd items like sausages and stuffing (due the onion) and some veg (leeks, shallots) but I don't know what else might be poisonous, or affects those MC's with delicate digestion. At the moment, they'll get goose, bacon, brocolli, turnip, roast spuds, peas, carrotts and any other veg that isn't related to the onion family. What's the position on gravy, cranberry, apple or mint sauce?

The goose also arrives with a bag containing his neck, giblets and heart - I'm guessing they'll be alright with those bits, although what on earth we do with them is another question!

Just wondering if there is a tradition of an after dinner nap after all that

Oh Karen you are a star,boil the giblets for stock for OH to make the gravy,I wouldn't give MC's the neck but the rest could be chopped up for them,most probaly out of it all they are the most unlikely to upset tums.I hate being on duty two days after xmas because that is when animals having had food that they are not used too come in thick & fast & up our bonus for the year {joking,about the bonus}shits everywhere,they normally get through the first 24hrs stangely enough & then the next day,woosh,lovely,pro kolin goes out in large numbers.
If they are having all the rest you have listed why worry about the gravy,go for it,cranberry is good for them you get it in some of the cats foods,not sure about the apple sauce or mint though.
What time are you eating,you could get two old age pensioners turn up on your doorstep,what a feast....x
