Dawnrazor Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 This year it'll be a layered terrine of Pheasant, Partridge, Duck and Stuffing, roast tatties, Brussel Sprouts par boiled then cooked with bacon and walnuts, wee sausages wrapped in bacon. Prawn cocktail to start and homemade sherry truffle to finish. I'm not sure about the bevy but Masons Gin, a bottle or two of Duvel qnd a bottle of Red wine probably, cannae bloody wait!!!

iantjambo Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Good man. Don't rely on the serfs. Sounds good though. I'm off to mother-in-law's and having ****** chicken. Out voted 3-1, as they don't like turkey. They weren't even going to have pigs in blankets; or, like you, I make a prawn & smoked salmon cocktail for starters. That'll be right. I can just about get my head around no turkey but no pigs in blankets? **** that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabienleclerq Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Sadly having Turkey as it's the mother in law that's cooking, I'd rather have a joint of sirloin or something a bit more exiting. Having gammon too so that'll rescue it a bit. **** not having piggy in blankets though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Mackerel Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 You're a real barrel of laughs! Eating yourself to the point you feel sick on Christmas Day? Then all the nonsense about over doing it and needing to lose weight after and joining gyms? You should do what the Italians do, start at 1pm ish and do the courses over an 8 hour period instead of all this British gluttony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a lot of palava for a scran. Probably best just explaining how to the bairn it's a consumer led industry now and psychologically designed to take your hard earned out your wages.

highlandjambo3 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 You had my mouth watering right up to the words Brussels Sprouts... Just before a works doo a couple of years ago i bought some sprouts and a box of fererro rocher chocolates and, proceded to unwrap each of the chocolates (to save later for myself of course). I had to slim down the brussles sprouts as they were too big...............stabbing each sprout with a pin to hold it, I dipped each one in some melted chocolate then rolled each around in crushed nuts then, proceeded to wrap each sprout in the original fererro wrapper and place carefully back in the cotainer..........................worked a treat I actually took some pictures of the whole operation and proceeded to post anonymous pictures to people i knew who had one at the doo, mamaged to keep this up for about 8 weeks before I was sussed out.................................... p.s you dont want to make an enemy of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
