TuffLuff Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I have four points to make 1) @Parsnip‘s are great, Parmasen @Parsnip‘s are even better 2) Haggis is great, but vegetarian haggis is probably better 3) I’m sure there was a run of Christmas Eve’s about a decade ago where they showed the Pogues Fairytale in New York doc followed by This Is Spinal Tap, what happened to that??? Coming home from the pub was joyous. 4) Turkey from the local farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why it’s called ‘vegetarian haggis’ and not ‘haggis’ much like we don’t call vegetarian sausages, ‘sausages’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to health reasons I try and be meat free in the week so it’s easier to have veggie sausages in the house. Best sausages are those Heck ones though, the chicken italia ones especially. A good alternative if you aren’t meant to eat red meat. The veggie haggis I get are made by the same company that does the meat haggis so it is a pretty good standard.

Turkey's so underrated. I'll be using a week Thursday's Thanksgiving (22nd November) as an excuse to have it then too, in solidarity with our American posters.

SSD Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Turkey crown at mothers this year. Thankfully she buys ready made trimmings because she can’t cook bless her, I’ve offered but she refuses ? Now I’ve settled down in a relationship, trying to choose where to go for Christmas is difficult. 4 sets of parents and ultimately someone will be disappointed. It was much easier being single, drinking down the pub til kick out on Christmas Eve and having a horrendous hangover. Eating constantly to ease the pain ?
