This isn't a thing I or my family have ever done. But online, I see that some people do. Do you?

I never used to make red cabbage, but now do as its something I can prepare 3/4 days prior to the day and reheat easily - I make it. I do also enjoy red cabbage.I use Delilah smith recipe and its fairly tame on the spices.

I'll take a look at that, I guess I've always felt we have enough with stuffing, all the other veg, pigs in blankets etc and have been really put off by the overly spiced stuff. But it is nice to try something new.

I only put a token clove in my bread sauce and fish it out again fairly quickly. You could just wave the clove over the sauce as a token gesture? 😁

I usually bring an onion stuck with about six cloves to a simmer with a bayleaf. Let it cool down and then strain and keep in the fridge. Bread sauce needs good quality white bread, and a generous knob of butter.

Nowadays if we have it, we have red cabbage instead of cranberry sauce. Shredded cabbage, salt and pepper, finely sliced onion, chopped Bramley, smidge of balsamic or wine vinegar, tablespoon of water.

It depends on who's there. If its a roast including DD and her family then yes, because its their tradition. If there only the three of us then we dont normally have a classic roast, and i don't like them.

definitely not

Heck Yes !
Batter is mixed and rested in the fridge

The potatoes get roasted while the YP tins heat then they can have a few minutes in the AirFryer to crisp up.
Once the Yorkshire Puddings go in the Countdown starts .
We watch them through the glass door . Our MaleCat positions himself to gaze into the oven (at his reflection probably)
Then there's a Prepare To Be Dazzled moment and Dinner Is Served .

My Mum was very struct about accompaniments, about what went with what and you only have Yorkshire pudding with beef so we only ever had Yorkshire puddings with beef, My husband is not nearly so strict and we love Yorkshire pudding so we have them with everything!
