Spoken like a true gent! :)

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 :(

Hmm doesn't this look appetising... nut roast:freak3:

But they only usually have 2 female staff on in our Aldi's :wonder:

Beef for me! Loverly.

Nearly 92000 members and I get 26 in my poll :(

This is important stuff!!

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 :thumb:

THAT looks like what comes out of my ar$e on Boxing day morning (After the Chateaubriand and many, many pints of San Miguel!)

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 :)

Ditto! T'other half is also working all day so I'll be sat at home on my tod most of the day until my parents arrive late afternoon.

I might treat myself to a Haagen Dazs and chocolate lunch to compensate me in my misery :D

aww poor Sal.

It'll be lonelyyyyy this Christmassss. :(

I know, poor me :cry: I'll probably be sat on here moderating or something :eek: :D

Yeah, I've been wondering what to do for the morning (probably will be squirming about in my bed with an awesome hangover and the alcohol sweats :lol1: ) Seeing mates in the avo/eve though. My family in England has decided to bugger off and the rest of them are in Scotland or Ireland.

It's kinda nice actually, don't have to stand on ceremony for everyone, we are gonna get wrecked! :D

Aww, don't worry, I'll be :cry: too until I replenish my body with the required hair of dog on xmas day :lol1:

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

Thats the point :rolleyes:

We agree with your points made :D

Sorry - only one of us got that.........:cuckoo:

Has anyone mentioned pigs-in-blankets?

If you are only cooking for two what about 2 sweet little pheasants! or i have cooked tonight duck and a lil guinea foul, i will let you know what they taste like they are resting as we speak! but from your choises id prob go for the beef , beef you cant go wrong and it taste devine cold in some super duper crusty bread! nice bit of horse radish! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm im making myself dribble! whatever u have , make sure u have at least 2 sprouts on ya plate , after all that is what has become tradition!!! lol just enjoy!!! .....





or if only 2 people ating sod it , go out and eat , i would if there were only two to feed here!!!


bubbles xx

:luxhello: got 2 trays of the little fellas lined up:thumb:

voted turkey crown, but the ribs looks damn tempting:)

well the duck and guinea foul went down well last night! the foul was like chicken but more rich , yummy though! and the duck well if cooked by delia's method turned out pretty superb!

i still prefere beef though! as it taste so good hot or cold!

This thread is making me hungry :o

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 :mad:

Voted Turkey...I'm a traditionalist...

Making me hungry too! :thumb:

Pigs in blankets aren't the hardest things to make btw, not only available in the shops :lol1:
Tell your ma to pull her finger out and get in that kitchen :lol1: :p

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.

Message from my stomach "stop torturing me!!!" :lol1:
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 :lol1:

add in an afternoon viewing of Back to the Future and and evening screening of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and the day is complete... :D

Oh yeah! Thats true :lol1:

It's just me wanting the ones from the shops, I'm a bit spoilt like that :norty:

My Delorean salutes you http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2.../IMAGE_012.jpg :thumb:

Haven't had guinea foul for years but it is very nice :luvlove:

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 ;)
