OK serious foodies alert!!!!!! Run us through what you're planning for your Christmas and new year celebrations!

[moondog]

No talk of Paxo or Bisto puhleeeeeeeze!!!!!!

How about the booze issue????

I think Christmas Eve will be a seafood feast as usual (crabs from the lleyn peninsula are the best in the world!)
Lashings of Miuscadet to accompany and perhaps tropica lfruit afterwards.

Christmas Day.......goose and stuffed apples with spiced red cabbage,brussel sprouts,root vegetable mash (turnip,parsnip and carrots with cream and nutmeg) and roast potatoes. Good Burgundy avec
Smoked salmon and caviar blinis to start with vats of Champagne.
Christmas pudding,Stilton and oatcakes with a Sauternes.

New Years Eve....rolled pork belly and quince compote followed by a pavlova. Not sure of the accompaniments or the wine at present.

Over to you lot.....

Also wish to know about the provenance of the stuffing,sausages and steak pie.

Come on,out with it!!!!

Quiver in your boots as I cast a stern eye over your shopping list woman!!!!

Wow!

Dsd doesn't like roast dinners and has asked for beans on toast on Christmas Day. They will be Heinz, of course.

Begone you riffraff with your talk of beans and toast!!!!

Moondog all I can say is bog off .

A crown roast is basicly the breast bit of a very large turkey minus all the rest of the bird. I could pretend i went personally to the local turkey farm and watched the turkey humane removed from its lovely wooden house in the middle of the field but I will be honest its from Iceland.

Whats the problem with stuffing and and sausages?????????

I just cant keep away from this bl**dy thread!

FGS I am from Scotland we eat haggis and black pudding so a bit of bloated turkey is hardley going to worry us .

Cor you're posh Skrimble. We were thinking about turkey burgers.

Love Ya Moondog!

Skrimble, I suspect is it that the words Chestnut, Leek, Organic, Fennel and Feng Shui do not crop up regularly enough in your stuffing.

No I get my stuffing blessed by the Dalai Lama.

twizzlers, surely frosty?

Big sigh.

It's Twizzlers on Boxing Day you heathens.

Yes the kids will get twizzlers and faces every day of the holidays.

he he any moment now the foodies are going to reclaim this thread

Can't decide. Smileys or Alphabites.

(Sorry Moondog, we've dragged your thread right down - you've probably fainted at the thought of all this lovely food).

I love food really but i tend to just eat it rather than trying to impress MIL with some crappy cook book creation that is cold by the time you faff about with it.

The more people i have the simpler I make it, the sprouts thing is a fancy as it gets. Any recipe that starts with preheating the oven a 6 am on Christmas Day just makes me laugh.

Actually Moondog that is why I married DH. He took me on a picnic in Richmond Park and had homemade bread and pasta salads and cold meats and white wine. He put the blanket on the ground and said that all we needed was music. I told him not to worry but he produced a CD player with CDs and we spent the rest of the afternoon pigging out on all the food. Bliss.

there's another 6 o'clock?

Should have known to avoid a food thread started by Moondog
