One of the joys of this forum is trying to remember what time of the day it is there (and which date - I am ahead of you guys).

Anyway...this year I have to host the family christmas dinner (about 40 people) and I am very tired of all the usual things we eat...what suggestions might there be from the USofA?

It will be high summer here and probably about 30 degrees C so don't suggest roast turkey! Cold buffet or BBQ is what we normally do...
