Cooking the in laws

[Pumba3]

Is is unreasonable to consider cooking the in laws for Christmas dinner as they have NOT STOPPED EATING since they got here and we will have run out of food by tomorrow?

I think cooking all of them is a bit mean, could you not just lightly grill their fingers sprinkled with lemon and garlic and serve with lots of potatoes?

I bet they’d be really tough.

Don't cook them, they're more nutritious served raw. Or if you can't face that then mulch them up and use them to fertilise the garden.

Good soak in wine over night should sort that odd.

You could even add some vinegar but maybe they’re too sour already?

Make a lovely fresh smoothie with them.

They might be quite bitter.

But maybe fatten them up? Nothing but lard and treacle till.sundown tomorrow, then stew in a slow oven overnight. Serve with fava beans and Chianti.

You don't need to bloody mess when you try to skin them.
But if you must try heating the bath tub from below, and bring to a gentle bubble.

Long and slow cooking, preferably in a pit in the ground. I suggest you lift a few patio slabs first.

I hear they're excellent with a garlic and lemon jus, steamed beans and some boiled new potatoes.

Good idea and they'll probably be some left over for sandwiches on Boxing Day.

Excellent suggestions and some very good points!! Anyone else lumbered with the in laws with no escape in sight....yet?! I wouldn’t mind but they are as tight as can be and you’d be lucky to get a glass of water at their house!!

Mine wouldn't fit in the oven. She's also not here this year - which is perhaps the only plus side of tier 4.

@TuxedoPanther no worries about soaking in wine overnight as they have been slowly pickling in red wine since they arrived yesterday!

@VinylDetective

Maybe slow cooked overnight?

Dare you! How about some sweet chilli sauce on the side?

YABU if they’re chewy you’re not preparing them right. I like mine deboned and grilled.

They're generally very gristly. Definitely require long, slow cooking.

Pumba3 - nope, most of us can't see our relatives

Eating is what Christmas is about. Maybe you didn't buy enough food?

YABU as it sounds like the meat would be fatty.
Stash some food away for you and leave DH and In laws to it

16.37. OP's post, 17.13. First nasty post. You're late @Oysterbabe. BTW Christmas isn't about eating. Did you miss that it's about Christ being born in a stable, and, silly question here, did you realise that one of the phrases for Christmas is Peace and Goodwill to all men? You must have been on your broomstick.

@Fuckingcrustybread I can further confirm your comment by adding that at £300 on groceries I doubt that is the problem! My FiL is currently directing my husband in where to move the bed in the spare room as he doesn’t like it’s original position fml!!

I wouldn't eat them, but I absolutely would chuck them into the food recycling bin.

@Pumba3
What a cheeky fucker, moving the bed!! Some bloody people really take the piss!

You say fatty.

I say crackling.
