We usually blag a meal from the wifes aunty but she has a new man to impress so we are cooking for the 3 of us this year.
Boxing day I have to drive to yorkshire to spend a couple of days with the inlaws - liquid breakfast, lunch and dinner is the usual fair

I can't stick turkey, I much prefer a Gammon joint when I'm at home at xmas
However, this year I'll be having Chateaubriand overlooking the beach in Tenerife

Voted for pork and crackling but I'll be cooking up a couple of ducks this year, not sure how I'm gonna do each one yet, think I'll leave that to inspiratioin as there's a lot I could do with them I guess. Dammit, that's made me hungry again
I'll probably be sat on here moderating or something

Many people believe christmas is the worst time to be alone
And they laughed at me when i said Schizophrenia was a good thing I like this!

But you can never be alone with Schizophrenia?

Best bet would be a decent chunk of boned and rolled sirloin. Beautiful beef, easy to cook, and super cold in a French bread sandwich for days afterwards. Keeps well.
Never enough meat on a Goose. dl

This thread is making me hungry 
Pig-in-blankets! My favourite! We only ever manage to get one tray every year though, I think it's because my mum leaves it too late & everyone's bought the shops out of stock
Voted Turkey...I'm a traditionalist...

Pigs in blankets aren't the hardest things to make btw, not only available in the shops
Tell your ma to pull her finger out and get in that kitchen

I know where you're coming from but going out means being surrounded by knobbers somewhere with people on double time minimum wage who are working christmas preparing and serving your food.
There will be more than a few sprouts (prepared with butter and bacon), goose fat roasties and maybe a parsnip or two.
Hour or two later will be the legendary, patented HS trifle.
A little while after that, a bucket of maltesers in front of the telly.

Sounds damned tasty!
I can certainly understand why you wouldn't want to go out and pay for the priveledge of eating turkey that has been basted in waiters urine and various other excretions for a couple of days, eeeew

I voted for the Turkey crown, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the Turkey!
That said there seems to be an awful lot of Geese on the farm up the road, give it a couple more weeks and they'll all be gone
