Haven't had turkey for years. We usually go for one of those multi-birds roast.  We're planning duck, pheasant, partridge and pigeon this year.

(And yes, I have enough self-awareness to know how deeply middle-class that sounds. Chin, chin)

You mean like a motorway pile up of poultry? ?

?? For getting nut roast and delicious in the same sentence.. Nutter.

I'll be having a delicious home-made nut roast. There are some nut roasts that taste like cardboard but if you make your own you can add all your favourite ingredients. Not everyone's choice, I know, but with sweet potatoes, courgettes, mushrooms and pistachios it is delicious. Trust me. ?.

The best way to eat yorkshires is an hour after your main dinner... smothered in strawberry jam.

This was how they were originally served. 

Certainly was at my Gran's. Yorkshire pudding could appear

  • As a starter with onion gravy as black as your hat
  • As part of the main course
  • As a pudding with butter and sugar

I don't think we ever had all 3 in the same meal though.

My daughter makes the Christmas dinner, and she was toying with an Asian theme this year, but my grandson Oliver insisted that it must be a 'proper' one for the grown-ups - despite the fact that he won't eat any of it (he is severely autistic and has his own ideas of what is edible and what isn't to him).

My job is the 'nibbles' which tend to be handed around from about noon (dinner proper will be at or around 5:00 pm), and these may include a few of:

  • Chinese
    • dumplings - possibly Sheng Jian Bao with either pulled pork or crab
    • Five spice peanuts - basically a peanut brittle type snack
  • Indian
    • Jeera biscuits - a buttery biscuit containing cinnamon and cumin seeds
    • Gujarati Khaman Dokla - a savoury, spicy sponge cake
    • Pakoras and samosas (sweet or savoury)
    • Mini curry pasties and vol-au-vents
    • Brussels sprout bhajis
  • Dutch/Belgian
    • Bitterballen
    • Kroketten

I might try making a nut roast myself, if I can add all my favourite ingredients. But I'm not sure if mixing roast lamb, mince and dumplings, new york cheesecake, sticky toffee pudding, stilton cheese and a full english, will taste that great.

You remind me of my infants when doing collage work in art. I'd put a huge collection of materials on the table and they would grab handfuls like greedy magpies. It was absolutely useless to tell them that more is less! Still, they had lots of fun, which is probably more than you would have with your fantasy nut roast!! Probably just as messy though! ? If you do try it, hope it stays down before the Queen's Message.?
