We don't really like turkey so have a big sirloin done very rare and a chicken so we still have the trad trimmings to go with a bird. Do you have any family traditions that aren't the norm? Haven't you missed my food based posts?
Re: Beautuful really beautiful... Starter-cup a soup main-pot noodle dessert-fruit cocktail from the tin I kid you not. Reight laugh these xmas dinners for one.
Roast ham (Nigella's recipe) We like turkey but as the wife is American we go over there for Thanksgiving and have turkey then.
Sorry to be boring but Turkey with all the trimmings - brussles sprouts and all - followed by a homemade Christmas Pud
The traditional Christmas dinner. Goose, Roast Spuds cooked in the oil of the bird, plus red cabbage and Bramley apple. Stuffing - principally chestnut.
Turkey. Nearly ended up with Lobster but it's one thing i've never tried so no point trying something I might not like.
The missus loves lobster (personally I think it's overrated for the price - that's the Yorkshireman coming out!) It's so expensive in the UK though so we have it when we go to the States.
Aldi - 4 bird roast, got the 3 bird last year after seeing the advert on tv and l was impressed with it. Didn't tell the young lass it was duck until after she had finished it. Modern parenting and all that, l don't know how we're going to disguise it this year.
Spiced Beef - a Cork speciality from the English Market. If you watch the Queens speech on Sunday you'll even see the stall we get it from.
So it's nice but not worth the money? If it was around so I could try a mouthful somewhere fair enough (like if someone else was having it at a meal I was at), but i'd not spend all that money on something I could hate and then have to leave. I probably would like it as different foods I tend to like. I love a kangaroo burger at Walkabout.
It tastes like a big prawn Dreamboy, l had some on a boating trip in Cuba, we had to spear it and cook it on the boat. After 45 minutes of throwing a spear at anything that shifted on the sea bottom l gave the spear to the guide to catch me something, it's no good without contact lenses. A restaurant in Sri Lanka was selling them at £8, we had it every few days whilst on that holiday.
