What meat you having for Christmas?

[Oiram]

Turkey joint (wanted goose but the Mrs doesn't want to try it)
Pork, sage and onion and pork and chestnut stuffing
Pigs in blankets

The rest is non meat so doesn't qualify for this thread.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Cant stand Turkey and my girlfriend is pescatarian so we'll be having a Cote de Boeuf and some Linda McCartney bollox at Caesar Towers

You not having chicken caeser for starters then?

Cornish baked cheddar with sourdough, mozzarella sticks, 3 types of smoked salmon and mozzarella and artichoke antipasti actually

Starters could be an entire thread by itself to be honest

As amazing as all that sounds, if you’re having a starter,
You’re doing the mains wrong imo.

By starters I mean grub I'll be eating throughout the day either side of lunch

[Long slender neck]

I'll be eating whatever Tesco has left after the latest panic buying frenzy. So probably horse meat lasagne and potato waffles.

Ooh just remembered
Scallops in the freezer for boxing day brekkie
With balck pudding egg & chorizo .

This thread has me salivating

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Road kill

[slacker]

The way things are going with the haulage chaos now gripping us, I suspect it could be beans on toast to celebrate the birth of the baby cheeses.

Otherwise, it’ll be turkey and trimmings per usual.

Good luck with that - it's not very nice, I've always found it tastes a bit like fishy Osprey.

[FargO]

I dunno. You'll have to ask the missus.

Saves on the washing up I suppose.
I like watching repeats of the series Lovejoy having missed it when it was first screened. Enjoyable indeed.

I have got the DVDs in a box set, I have watched them all at least fives times. Great fun, they were talking about another series with another actor as Lovejoy but I don't think it ever got off the ground.

Great news. I will get the boxed set one day. On my ‘to do ‘ list, fascinating characters in it.
Dudley Sutton such a well established actor , veteran of numerous films and TV classics, now sadly departed. The ‘female interests’ also superb actors. I liked it as it was ‘believable’ as I had loose ties with that trade for years and saw the shenanigans that went on! Put it this way, I placed that show as one in the category that it did not matter if you missed the start, middle or end, even if you saw 5 minutes of it, was entertaining!

I treated myself to loads of cheese from a place called Pong. The
Missus hasn’t stopped moaning about the...smell...since I got them. I Camembert it.

Turkey, nothing better to make you feel like it’s Christmas. Alway drink Sherry too in the morning whilst it’s cooking. odd, never do at other times. Asti with the dinner.

And Sprouts, love them.

Bubble and squeak later, luvly Jubbly

Going to be odd this year. Live next door to our daughter and family. Mrs dOh doing the dinner, taking dinner next door, taking all precautions. Not mixing. Plan to do gifts in the garden, no rain. Feck the virus, we intend to enjoy Christmas Day, safely. Making fun of it whilst keeping safe.

[Oiram]

We are having dry aged rib of beef on the bone and a chicken.

Why does 60 day aged beef have a ‘Best before date on it?’

Over the worst, than goodness. Have learned so much about what this virus does, even to the fit. My daughter is an ex Personal trainer, is amazingly fit, and has been knocked hard. And under 50. No longer underestimate this virus in the youngish.

We had planned a family dinner, now we have agreed to stay apart. But with the food already bought Mrs dOh is doing the cooking and we will pass to our daughter and family via an outside table. Keeping our distance. We will be opening pressies outside, weather permitting, and at a safe distance. Not going to let this virus spoil our day. We are lucky we can have a family day whilst staying safe at a distance.

I feel for those not so lucky as us. A daughter next door is a true blessing.

[Oiram]

Good to see the almost religious commitment to Yank Turkey isn't ubiquitous

Octopus btw..... best seafood out there

The Octopus would agree with you.

[TrickorTreat]

Ham, Prawns, Bugs and salad. All the family coming over.

No idea, not that it will matter, two days and its gone and cooked well within the BBF date.

[Constanza]

We tend to eat nearly all veggy based these days but on Xmas will be having

Xmas Eve- home made sushi and ramen
Xmas Day- free range chicken which will be soaked overnight in buttermilk and roasted with garlic and lemon. Accompanied by usual veg (NO SPROUTS) and a roasted fish as well.

Loads of booze and tayto.

Epoisse is my favourite, it seems to move as you open the box lovely in bit crusty bread, with a full bodied red Stinks the fridge out.
