What Are Eating On Dec 25th For Lunch?

[Dromedary]

Just done some shopping and bought a smoked gammon joint from Sainsbury on a half price special offer, £6 for a 2.3k joint so it looks like that's it!

If you eat all that, it quite likely will be “it” for you😁

I can highly recommend the liver which has been marinating in Greene King IPA for decades.

Turkey, stuffing, sprouts, cauliflower cheese with lashings of gravy.

 

Christmas pudding for dessert.

 

Can't wait.

Traditional fare (although bird type as yet undecided) ‘augmented’ by Continental flavours, e.g. homemade stuffing made with foie gras, sauce from reducing cooking juices with morels (and/)or a local Lux wine, finished off with the homemade Xmas Pud (made last October, like every year).

But no Xmas hunting, we’re Xmas’ing in the UK this year. Might bring some game as well, though. Big party for dinner Boxing Day or the day after, a boar casserole with Yorkshire puds would go down well.

Not had pate for years, one of the worst things to eat for gout sufferers.

What will we eat on Xmas day?

That scallop/pea purée/black pudding recipe mentioned earlier is fabulous, we’ve done it a few times 👍🏻
 

The really important question hasn’t been asked yet, however: what shall ye be drinking on 25 Dec? 😆

Don't forget to raise a toast to the brave Ukrainians, who are fighting alone to the death, to keep the Mad Russian Totalitarian from taking over your Europe!

 

Just a thought!
