What's your favourite Christmas food?

Oh Yes Nataly where would we be without the Christmas nosebag.

We've been seriouslly endeavouring to eat less (even though sustainable) meat.
I ordered my Goose a few weeks ago from a good source.
I've made a Christmas cake, made pastry and filling for the MP's, thats mince pies by the way not those silly duds we see on the Box.
Sounds (is) a bit over the top, but most likely I will get a small turkey and thereafter make a turkey and leak pie.
Lots and lots of different veg.
Seriously reducing the chocolate intake (those in the tins) and go for a chocolate with nuts in, although those Benedict mints (not the mixed box) are a killer with the coffee. I'm actually going out for lunch on Christmas Day, a first. The goose (and other prep) will be all but cooked on Christmas eve ready for easy peasey on boxing day lunch. Goose really stands up well. I now find this is the most easy and fully proof way to get a great result.

Aghh the usual giant homemade sticky toffee pudding is on order, straight out the oven burn your lips hot is the way to go.

Sorry Nat, soaked since late November, last year the same and did not cook the filling until the hit the pastry. This year done it the traditional way and soaked for a week or so then cooked the filling and resealed back in the fridge.
I prefer the non tradional way, its more juicy.
Sprouts all the way.

Oooooo i forgot to mention the christmas pudding ice cream. Made with real christmas pudding supplied by the ladies of the local W.I. then mixed made and shipped by a british family owned company. My fave purbeck ice cream.

Marc the moderator will be on your case, burp

He won’t hear a thing whilst he’s at school 😂😂😂😂

Used in salads or as a salad.
Perhaps with some roasted hazlenuts, other thinly cut salad items slighly dressed with a fruited vinagarette.

Nice one @Strutt G & @Bev - great tip!

​​​​​​​I think my bro would love this so have definitely made note 😁

What about that lorry that toppled over and dropped its whole load of sprouts 🙀🙀🙀. What made me larf tho was the guy passing, who couldn’t wait to go fill his carrier bag full of sprouts 😂😂😂😂😂🙄, you have to larf! Little did he realise he’d be all over the news channels! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Luckily no one injured, so made for a funny “and finally.....” news story 👍👍👍👍👍😂

My wife's Christmas cake.
Made weeks ago and rich with glace cherries, sultanas, raisins, citrus peel, dates and walnuts; drizzled with dark rum, wrapped in foil and stashed I know not where to mature. I'm salivating in anticipation.

Sprouts: Always hated them until I had them roasted with horse chestnuts along with the spuds, parsnips and carrots. So much better than the boiled nauseating ones I was made to eat as a kid.

Very true! @Oakbank
Bon appetit! 🥕

Had some sprouts yesterday.

Then some cheese.

And finally a load of chocolate.

Just practising!

You must give @Bev the recipe
