What are you having for Christmas dinner?

[Happy Seagull]

Hoping we're having roast lamb.

 

[The Large One]

Absolutely! A few more mouths to feed are not going to make any difference.

Harumph! I've only got one mouth...

For the first time, I are be mostly cooking a GOOSE.

Never had goose before, but it can't be that hard to cook. And, apparently - and this sounds like the best bit - you get awesome roast potatoes when they're cooked in the goose fat. There will be an accompaniment of roasted parsnips, carrots steamed with honey, and sprouts steamed while coated in sherry. Oh, and pigs in blankets of course. The stuffing I have yet to decide but it will probably be something like chestnut, apple and brandy. None of that Paxo shit.

Followed by Christmas pudding splatted in brandy butter.

What are you all having?

were having goose too but dont cook the spuds in with the goose. so much fat comes out of it they will turn too mush

you need to cook it on the grill pan and catch the fat underneath in a roasting tin , use some of the fat for spuds and the rest save to cook with

We (apparently) will be having gammon and turkey. Along with various things like, mini sauasages wrapped in bacon, some kind of stuffing, along with various vegetables.

Pheasant and i'm sure to get buckshot in my portion

The secret of a great Christmas dinner is getting the OVEN TEMPERATURE right. The bird doesn't like being cooked at the same temperature as the spuds.

Here at Bracknell Towers, we run a three-oven kitchen. To be precise, it's a coal-fired Rayburn, an electric Baby Belling-type thingy and a combined microwave and fan-assisted oven jobby. The nearest gas supply is five miles away.

Fuel for the Rayburn was delivered this morning. But the microwave/fan assisted oven jobby declared itself dead last night (mid way through cooking Roz's rhubarb crumble).

So I'm off to somewhere not at the Goldstone Retail Park to buy a new one.

Turkey, btw.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Already had my flat Christmas dinner

What's a flat Christmas dinner? Is that some kind of ROADKILL?

Pizza, champagne & tangerines at Hark mansions, it's what baby Jesus would have wanted

[Les Biehn]

As long as there are yorkshires I'm happy.

 

[Tight shorts]

Turkey and Ham for normal people and Nut Roast (my Mum's special recipe) for me. Best bit though is super crunchy stuffing balls. Despite faffy flavours available this time of year, sage and onion is still king for me.

Indeed, but it's an open invitation. Anything to avoid the mother in law and her nutcase family.

My sister is the fussy one. What she didn't say is that we will also have about 18 different vegetables. The next time we have dinner at her house she will then have to cook 19.

Next year will be at mine and I may do 3 or 4.
