Mince pies and Christmas pudding is the food of Satan.
I like a turkey Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, with proper gravy, and some lovely sprouts. Don’t be slinging Star anise in the gravy to be different, it’s disgusting. Also, don’t be putting some sort of fruity jam on it either, it’s doesn’t go, and it’s weird.
Trifle for afters.

Admit to being a mince pie fan, though can't be doing with any of the daft variations "luxury" variation etc.
Not a fan of sprouts or parsnips, but can understand the attraction if cooked simply. Hate the messing about with food, carrots cooked in orange juice, broccoli with flaked almonds etc, and the insistence of adding things to cheese like apricots or cranberries.Stop hovering to collapse...

kids were howling the other day at school. One of them was getting something out of my desk and found my "Bah Humbug" Christmas hat.
As for food, yep, a roast turkey, simple veg and gravy. Sprouts are not often eaten round these parts but have some growing out back. The summer murders them but somehow around November they start to recover and thrive, should have some grape sized ones for the dinner.. Can't get chipolatas wrapped in bacon here or Paxo. Sadly, most of the Wensleydale here comes with cranberries or something crap in it. Still got a Morrisons Christmas pud from last year but no brandy or rum sauce. (When did they stop doing the packets of Brandy or Rum sauce mix?). The sauce these days is apparently only sold in liquid form and not available when I am in UK (October).
Finally, last week, step-daughter announced that due to her hubby being sent to Syria (yes, really) she was going to "do Santa" this coming weekend. This means I get an American version of a Christmas dinner. Will report back on what exactly it entails.
Merry Christmas my arse!Rocket likes this. -

I hate christmas.
i'd like it to be cancelled. I'd not bother celebrating it if i thought my mother would let me get away with it.
