Inspired by Morrison's claim that vegetarians should spice up their Christmas dinner with a Naice 3 Fish Roast from their Fishminger.

Hmm

Tomatoes and cucumber arre fruit.

Roobarb is a dog.

Okra is bleurgh.

You must eat a doughnut without lickling your lips.

Aspargus and cutlery are not friends.

Marathons were far superior to Snickers.

Alcohol and pudding do not mix.

GrimmaTheNome · 17/12/2012 09:24

I don't think so, long overdue. Grin

"Knowledge is knowing the tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting in your fruit salad."

I can't think of anything I'm particularly pedantic about TBH, except for some items not being finger food whatever DD may think to the contrary.

Untrue if the alcohol is part of the pudding though.

But its wrong grimma. Alcohol should only be served in a glass, and pudding in a bowl. You can't mix the two, its just grim.

GrimmaTheNome · 17/12/2012 09:38

Its probably significant you've 'bah...humbug' in your name at the moment Grin
There are lots of classic desserts which have alcohol as an integral component.

BahSaidPaschaHumbug · 17/12/2012 09:41

and they're all horrible Xmas Wink

GrimmaTheNome · 17/12/2012 09:45

There's no accounting for lack of taste. Xmas Wink Your personal preference doesn't make something wrong.

BahSaidPaschaHumbug · 17/12/2012 09:54

Xmas Grin What makes yours right?

StNiChaolas · 17/12/2012 09:55

Gravy should not be made with Bisto.

Turkeys should not be procured at Asda.

Yorkshire pudding is an accompaniment for beef - it has no place in a turkey Christmas dinner

HaveYourselfAMardyLittleXmas · 17/12/2012 10:15

yy to rare beef and lamb.

Carveries are the work of the devil.

Ham should not be shiny.

Cheese should not taste of soap.

Soup is wrong in a powdered format.

HaveYourselfAMardyLittleXmas · 17/12/2012 10:20

Mass produced Christmas dinners are rarely tasty (soggy roasties and reheated brussels anyone?).

MotherOfNations · 17/12/2012 10:25

I love okra, especially in curry.

Allalonenow · 17/12/2012 10:29

Chips must be served with mayonnaise.
Bacon sandwich must be made with unbuttered white bread.
Boiled eggs must have runny yolks.
Hard boiled eggs must not have a horrid grey ring.
Mashed potatoes must not have any lumps.

Not that I am at all fussy....

TunipTheVegedude · 17/12/2012 10:32

Sorry Battlefront, have to disagree on that one. My Yorkshire dad believes in Yorkshire puddings being served with any roast dinner (though they don't usually bother for Xmas, but they could). It's a regional thing. The pudding was meant to take the edge off your appetite before you get to the meat.

Cheese should not have fruit in it.

HaveYourselfAMardyLittleXmas · 17/12/2012 10:33

English mustard is an abomination.

Colman's French mustard is not actually French mustard.

French mustard usually comes from Dijon not Norwich.

(I don't think I've ever had so much to say about mustard on the internet before.)
