Just watched her make this and wondering whether to give it a go for Christmas Day. Anyone cooked it?

I have - it was lovely! Very easy if I recall - don't think I cooked it in the bird though but on the side

I made it a couple of years ago - it was absolutely revolting and ended up on the bird table.

Yes! I did it on the side too. Well worth it.

It's a strange recipe but think I'll go for it. I keep imagining Joey from friends saying, "meat:good, cake:good!"

I did it as a side dish too, in a terrine dish I think. I followed the recipe to the letter, but no-one liked it (possibly I did something wrong).

I've made it every year since the book came out. My parents detest it, everyone else refuses to contemplate christmas without it!

Give it a whirl - worst case scenario you only need to make it this year!

It is amazing. DH Has made it the past 2-3 years and it is delicious, especially cold on a leftovers sandwich. The only thing I'd say is the recipe made quite a lot for even a 2lb loaf tin so we've learnt to half it

We love it here. I prefer it cold with left overs on Boxing day.

If you like things like bacon and maple syrup, sweet and salty, then you should enjoy it.

We love it! It does make a lot though. Might half the recipe this time
