Twelve non - meat courses, including raw fish in onions, fish in tomato, battered fish, breaded fish, fish with peppers, smoked fish, beetroot soup and stuffed pasta with mushrooms! This year it's up to us to host it, so Filet'o'Fish and fries may make its way onto the menu! I much prefer the English tradition of going out and getting bladdered, before fighting over a taxi home to be honest! Not the tradition in our house mate. Christmas eve is for peeling your own bodyweight of potatoes and getting the sprouts on about 11pm so that they're properly soft by Christmas Day lunch The added excitement this year is finding sleeping space for the wife's extended family as 17 into a 5 bed house won't quite go.....

David Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Turkey? Bunch of peasants, awful awful bird and I've had a few, all about the chicken for me.....chicken and mushroom Fray Bentos. Never understood why everyone goes all out cooking a huge meal on Xmas day, prefer to play with my new socks and sink a few pints of lager....does that make me a hipster now? ?

They eat Goose elsewhere in the book but Scrooge decides to send them a nice foreign bird with his newfound generosity. Since then, we've traditionalised it. What I want to know is how exactly that turkey ever fit into Cratchetts small oven! But thats just details best book ever!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
