dune Posted 21 December, 2011 Posted 21 December, 2011 I've bought a huge joint of topside. Cost me 40 quid FFS. It'd better be nice.
pap Posted 21 December, 2011 Posted 21 December, 2011 Beef, gammon and chicken for us. We're not big on turkey.
dubai_phil Posted 21 December, 2011 Posted 21 December, 2011 Consider yourselves lucky... The Polish have their Christmas Dinner on Christmas Eve. 12 Fecking course. Turkey with all the trimmings, Pudding, Mince Pies, Port & Stilton is my only weapon of revenge and makes them keep the portions small
dune Posted 21 December, 2011 Author Posted 21 December, 2011 They eat Mirror carp! I've never tried it, but caught a chub when I was a nipper and cooked that. Tasted muddy which is how i'd expect carp tastes.
dubai_phil Posted 21 December, 2011 Posted 21 December, 2011 They eat Mirror carp! I've never tried it, but caught a chub when I was a nipper and cooked that. Tasted muddy which is how i'd expect carp tastes. Apparently so. Although being down here the chances of finding Fresh Water fish.... It is a desert & all that. (No not the fish for pudding desert, not dessert.) Anyway some of the menu is Pierogi, Bean Soup (yuk), Polish Borsch, Mushroom Soup, Fried Fish (Alaskan Pollock - special offer at Carrefour this week! and no I have No idea how we can have French Alaskan Pollock down here cheaper than the local fresh stuff), Sauerkraut with beans, More fish, Bigoss, Golomki, Cheesecake. amongst others. Hmmmm, yum yum, of course I love it darling....... Luckily by the time the 4th or 5th Vodka shot goes down it ain't so bad
norwaysaint Posted 21 December, 2011 Posted 21 December, 2011 Christmas celebrated on the 24th here too. Pinnekjøtt (ribs)
The Cat Posted 21 December, 2011 Posted 21 December, 2011 Turkey. Haven't had one at Xmas for far too long. Got it from Owton's so it's bound to be quality. Gammon too. Pigs in blankets, homemade stuffing. No sprouts or Xmas pudding though. They are just wrong.
sydneysaint907 Posted 21 December, 2011 Posted 21 December, 2011 The big treat here is the entree of huge cooked prawns, 4 to 6 inches long and still swimming in the ocean on Christmas Eve. The drawback ? Twenty quid a kilo bought at 6am on Christmas Day from the Sydney Fish Markets. Followed by the usual Turkey,Leg Ham off the bone, roast veggies or salad (depending on the weather), Christmas pudding and custard plus a Christmas Trifle with lots of sherry ! Finish that lot off with mince pies and a cheese and fresh fruit platter........then a nice long sleep !! Merry Xmas !
Turkish Posted 21 December, 2011 Posted 21 December, 2011 Salmon, pigs in blankets then Ham on the bone and Pork belly with crackling cooked in a jerk* sauce. As fat c*nts say, nom nom nom nom. *see i'm not racist.
Turkish Posted 21 December, 2011 Posted 21 December, 2011 (edited) curry Did Serge say he was having say that in the interview section of the Christmas edition of Smash Hits and you decided to copy him? Edited 21 December, 2011 by Turkish
Saint Luke Posted 21 December, 2011 Posted 21 December, 2011 christmas at the danish mother in laws (not in Denmark) - Roast duck, red cabbage, caramel potatoes followed by very, very thick rice pudding with hot cherry sauce. Followed by turkey at mine the following day. Then collapse in a bloated mass on the sofa and hope I can move enough in the morning to drive down to St Mary's. After the footie off to a mates for more delicious food and lots of drink to celebrate 3 points for Saints and Brentford (mates team)
Turkish Posted 21 December, 2011 Posted 21 December, 2011 a collegue of mine is off to his birds families in Poland. Their christmas dinner sounds amazing, Goose as their poultry and 14 different types of meats, salami type things i'd imagine, sounds superb.
South City Si Posted 21 December, 2011 Posted 21 December, 2011 Turkey breast, whiskey coated ham & a partridge all from Uptons, expensive but quality! Nom.

SNSUN Posted 22 December, 2011 Posted 22 December, 2011 I'll be round my parents' in Christmas Day, so I'll be feasting on the usual Turkey with all the trimmings. My mum also buys a Ham and a joint of pork (my favourite meat by a million miles) to eat over the Christmas period, and has done the same this year, despite the fact Christmas Day is the only day I'm there for. (Mind you, I'll be stopping in a lot for free food, they only live ten minutes away!) For the last 12 years though, my mates and I have had a tradition to go out on Christmas Eve and get thoroughly shytefaced, so I barely remember Christmas Days anyway.
CB Saint Posted 22 December, 2011 Posted 22 December, 2011 Tommorrow I am cooking this http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/168623/gordons-honey-glazed-ham You can get a joint in tescos for £7 at the moment and it is an absolute piece of p1ss to cook
dune Posted 22 December, 2011 Author Posted 22 December, 2011 Í wouldn't bother with the cloves. Can't stand the taste.

Turkish Posted 22 December, 2011 Posted 22 December, 2011 Wild Boar delivered direct from this chap: http://www.thewildboarman.co.uk/ No filling the pockets of supermarket boardroom fat cats here. THat looks good, how much??
trousers Posted 22 December, 2011 Posted 22 December, 2011 THat looks good, how much?? It was £50 for a 'mini hamper' (Smallish Roasting joint, sausages, minced boar meat and loin chops). Not cheap but should be worth it for the taste.
Dog Posted 22 December, 2011 Posted 22 December, 2011 Wild Boar delivered direct from this chap: http://www.thewildboarman.co.uk/ No filling the pockets of supermarket boardroom fat cats here. Wild Boar are dangerous, but Tom has established a trusting bond with his animals. A pregnant sow, due to give birth in December. Young Wild Boar are stripey and have a ginger colouring. Bad Tom.
Turkish Posted 22 December, 2011 Posted 22 December, 2011 It was £50 for a 'mini hamper' (Smallish Roasting joint, sausages, minced boar meat and loin chops). Not cheap but should be worth it for the taste. When we go back up to Harrogate we get a similar deal from a farmers butchers about 2 miles outside. Meat so fresh it's sometimes being delivered if you get there in the morning. £50 gets you 3 chickens, shoulder of lamb, sausages, lamb chops, pork belly, but can mix and match to get all sorts. Excellent value for money and the meat is different class to anything you get in supermarkets.
1976_Child Posted 22 December, 2011 Posted 22 December, 2011 Two cans of Heinz macaroni cheese, some chunky bread and a little side salad.
dune Posted 22 December, 2011 Author Posted 22 December, 2011 the meat is different class to anything you get in supermarkets. You're right about that. Every joint i've had from Tesco's has been tough.
Jillyanne Posted 22 December, 2011 Posted 22 December, 2011 Turkey and a shoulder of pork, mum is cooking and we will have all the trimmings including, yes including sprouts, they are lovely!

We never buy meat from a supermarket, our 2 local butchers are both awarding winning and the service is above and beyond. The venison, direct from Cannock Chase, is top notch.
Petersfield Saint Posted 22 December, 2011 Posted 22 December, 2011 As the mother in law is over from Berlin it'll be Xmas Eve with "ze Germans" (for your benefit Turkish) - so goose from the local butchers, then Xmas Day turkey with the rest of the family. Best of both worlds!

1976_Child Posted 22 December, 2011 Posted 22 December, 2011 homemade nut roast. what sort of nuts do you use?
dune Posted 22 December, 2011 Author Posted 22 December, 2011 homemade nut roast. You'd have thought in this day and age they'd be a cure for people like you. BTW I like my roast medium (just enough blood to make it nice and moist). nom nom nom nom.
Turkish Posted 22 December, 2011 Posted 22 December, 2011 who the fek is Levi Roots? Someone that can tell you where denim jeans came from.

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 23 December, 2011 Posted 23 December, 2011 curry Yup! Reshmi kebab starters with salad, chilli pickle and riata. Garlic & Chilli chicken, garlic rice, a Naan bread & Bombay Aloo Followed by a Kulfi washed down with a cool Lassi. Timed for mid afternoon, say 3pm, to avoid the mid afternoon zombie show on the box.
