It's that time of year again - let everyone know your starter for your Christmas night out meal. Feel free to include all of the options available to you, so we can all marvel at them.

As with last year, PLEASE do not discuss any other courses in this thread - main courses are boring and desserts are for idiots. STARTERS ONLY.

I have chosen the home cured gravad lax with herb salad and aioli dressing this year, spurning the options of marbled game terrine with spiced fruit relish and also the vegetarian option of broccoli and Lanark blue cheese tart with rocket leaves and walnut oil dressing.

Have I made the right choice? ONLY TIME WILL TELL*

*Yes
