Christmas food

Grumpy old man
Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat
Please put a penny in the old man's hat
If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do
If you haven't got a ha'penny, then God bless you!
I should have said in Canada I have not personally heard of anyone doing a goose for Christmas but I am sure some do. However, I am well aware that a goose for Christmas is a tradition in many European countries. Turkey somehow did replaced goose as a traditional Christmas dinner in North America. Mind you, with post war immigration there now is a greater variety to what is being served as Christmas dinner I am sure.

We've just had the same discussion. Pigs in blankets from a supermarket are :sick::sick:
So we're going to make our own from some nicer butchers Cumberland sausage.
You can’t beat a good local butcher. Our local one is excellent, everything we have ever bought there has been great. We always get a rib joint for Christmas and it’s always local raised Long Horn.

Traditional Yorkshire Christmas dinner for me. No offence but I don't do Cockney stuff. So I'm having Turkey, Roast and Mashed Potatoes, Yorkshire Pudding, Sprouts, Carrots, Parsnips, Sage and Onion Stuffing and thick Gravy I don't do Jus,I have no idea what a Pig in a blanket is, I've never had Bread Sauce though I have seen something similar on the pavement outside a pub on Boxing Day. Pudding is Traditional Christmas Pudding and Custard I hate it, so does the Wife but it's Chrimbo so it's Chrimbo Pudding....I'm not having Creme Anglaise, it's Custard, then copious amounts of alcohlol before eventually collapsing in a festive heap before Morcombe and Wise. Now that is Christmas Yorkie Style.
