Christmas Day Lunch/Dinner

[HH12]

Turkey , Roasties , Pigs In Blankets , Peas , Carrots , Cabbage , Sprouts (none for me) , Parsnips , Stuffing , Gravy
Choice of Home Made - Mince Pies , Xmas Pudding , Xmas Cake (Laced With Brandy) For Afters

Washed down with various Wines

Evening - Home Made Quiche with lots of nibbles or Cheese and Crackers with Pickled Onions (which have been preserving in vinegar and spice for weeks)

One thing for certain is there will be far too much food despite the annual statement from Mrs HH 'We won't get so much in this year' - yeah righty 'o'

I know what you mean Fred but we need to pick up STURTZY’s rather nice pass with the lardon suggestion and develop the play. After the WOWS defence splitter I am only too pleased to return the favour.

Put the buggers into hot water and boil for about 3 minutes until they have started to soften but remain quite firm. Do not boil the poor sods to buggery. Drain the sproutage. Pan fry some lardons or pancetta and chopped chestnuts or other chopped nuts. Add the sprouts and bubble with some reduced vegetable stock and Riesling wine. Enjoy.

Or would you prefer some carrots ?

Bleddy hell Lionel. How did you remember that ?

I now eschew the Indian spices of course.

It appears that the Wooden One does not have a sweet tooth.

Tend to agree with him on the cranberry sauce and cauliflower cheese mind.

 

[Alistair20000]

Pea and mint soup or prawn cocktail or smoked salmon to start.

Turkey, pigs in blankets, cauliflower cheese, swede, cheesy leeks, sprouts, carrots, glazed parsnips, roast potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce.

Summer fruit cheesecake and/or Christmas pud with runny cream, brandy sauce and clotted cream.

Mince pies with runny cream, brandy sauce and clotted cream.

Cheese and biscuits (not decided on the cheese yet but will include cheddar, blue, Stilton, Brie and some other runny type)

Coffee.

Then a sleep in front of the telly before it’s time for a cold meat supper.

Oh, nearly forgot, a few nibbles and cheeky canapés for the guests when they arrive. Hopefully that’ll keep everyone happy.

Does SWMBO prepare all that or do you also man the kitchen ?
