God you don't do things by halves! Can I come round?

 

I eat mine all at once and tend to only mix two things together - a bit of meat and yorkie pud and spuds all at once can be a bit much!

 

My fella tends to build little sandwiches with his, it takes forever and is quite the art form.

yum yum yum !! not xmas pud lovers and cant get hold of yule log so this sounds perfect !! do u have a recipe pls ??

[lolliew]

there will be 8 of us round the table this year - aged 8 - 90

 

cream of leek and potato soup with homebaked bread rolls

 

Roasted turkey crown with streaky bacon and chestnut stuffing, roast pork loin with homemade bramley apple sauce, mashed spuds with butter, roasted potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes and of course roast parsnips, carrots and sprouts, and brocolli for the little one. Cranberry gravy and lashings of red wine.

 

Desert will be christmas pudding with brandy butter for my grandpa, and custard or cream for the rest of us, and the children will have chocolate cake.

 

Cheese and crackers with figs and plenty of fresh fruit.

 

Coffee and mints, followed by home made mince pies and christmas cake.

 

There will be champagne to celebrate the birth of Christ and the achievement of everyone making it to yet another christmas, we will also remember our absent family and friends.

 

I expect the 'meal' to take 3-4 hours over the afternoon/evening and not everyone will be expected to sit at the table all the time, after all the little ones will be bored after soup - they will be allowed to get up and down from the table - after each course so as not to disturb my grandpa too much, and if anyone wants to skip a course they will be able to.

 

I am so looking forward to it
