Carving and vegetables and plates and stuff.

[N0RKS]

I am 57 and have hosted approximately 35 Christmas dinners and still get this wrong every time. Sorry if this is completely bleedin’ obvious to everyone else.

It looks great when you bring the turkey / goose / nut roast into the dining room with a big ‘ta-daaaaa’
But then the carving person has to fafff for ages carving it.
Meanwhile the veg is getting cold and the lattes are cooling down as he puts some on each plate and hands them out.

How do real people manage this?

I fear the pictures in magazines etc are there to make us feel bad and probably have fence varnish on to make them look golden brown 😂
We carve in kitchen and bring a plate of meat out with everything else

The carving is done earlier. My dad makes individual parcels with the baked ham, stuffing and turkey then covers in gravy. They are kept warm under foil until everything else is ready.
