It wouldn't be Christmas dinner without that little sewing kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 I love sausages and pork scratchings but haggis takes the eat every last bit to the vile extremes. I would Turkey everyday of my life if it was that or you must have one mouthful of haggis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also serving my homemade chicken liver pate to start & my mum's homemade christmas pud to follow. Agree with all the comments that turkey isn't dry or tasteless if you cook it right. It's not a bird I cook any other time of the year but I can't have Christmas day without it. Current tradition is to go for a walk after lunch & come back for a drink in the hot tub. Guessing it will be less of a squash in the tub with only six for lunch this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawley_ram Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 As it's always been since I was 14... men in the pub for 12:00, 4 or 5 pints before dinner then running back home 20 minutes after we were told to be back for dinner. Haven't lived at home for years but even now it's still the same routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
