    The one to ask what is the perfect Christmas dinner and accompaniments is George Spicer.
    I wonder what his views are on pulling crackers.

    Kind of agree with YN on this although I am ashamed to admit as a bit of a foodie I can be a anal when it comes to what food goes with what. However, each to their own. I do look away when my wife sprinkles malt vinegar on her tinned red salmon sandwiches but, hey-ho!, as JP said, "Real people enjoy food, friendship & hospitality".
    Personally, I like all the ingredients mentioned except boring standard (American breed) common Turkey. but not all of them for Christmas dinner. Traditional Bronze or Black I love but really prefer traditional Goose sadly unavailable at Xmas in Italy as they eat them in August!

    When it comes to Yorkshire puds , I do know that many Yorkshire people (my missus included) say the proper way to have them is is as a starter, the size of a dinner plate with onion gravy. This stems from times when meat was expensive so those with large families and lots of mouths to feed filled up on pudding first . As an aside in Tudor times the nobility used to have roast beef , venison etc. cooked over the fire and the large pan underneath contained the pudding mix so the meat juices and drippings fell into the pan and cooked the pudding which the servants then ate. I tried it that way a couple of times with rotisserie in our oven and whilst the pudding was tasty as the meat itself it was a bit flat and stodgy unlike the light fluffy pudding nowadays. Heart attack on a plate!!

    I regularly make pizzas on a wood fired oven and Italians are seriously anal about what goes on them and consider pineapple to be a absolute 'no-no' for a topping. Nevertheless, I do make them for a friend and her 96 year old mother when they visit as they both love them, but only on condition they bring their own pineapple as I once bought one fresh and her mother complained a she "only eats tinned":rolleyes:

    Anyway, to ALL you guys and gals (whatever your politics!;)) Eat -whatever takes your fancy:)- , drink and be merry.

    Happy New Year to you all!!


    Lest hope for another 3 points today. COYR.

    That is the classic neapolitan one My personal favourite is Siciliana - salty anchovies, olives and caper berries (different from capers which are the flower buds) .

    What makes Italian food so great, even seemingly boring pasta dishes, is not the complexity but the quality of the ingredients speak for themselves.

    We have a full 'English' once or twice a month. Italina smoked pancetta (streaky bacon in UK) but traditionally oak smoked, air dried and sliced at home thin and crispy) local frree range eggs ultra fresh from just down the road, Italian sausage 100% meat (shoulder pork) from ,local butchers. Italian tomatoes from Sicily , and chestnut mushrooms far fresher than you get in England. (only thing (for me) missing is black pudding but that is very hard to get if not impossible.

    BTW the Lamb here 'sucks' (for reasons I wont go in to) . Yorkshire ( or Welsh) lamb is far superior to what is available in Italy.

    As the saying goes 'The French put their trust in the chef, the Italians put their trust in God!
