What about it?
Bottom line, anybody can have what they want. Do a great big one with a lump of beef in the middle.
Enjoy the day.

I don't like turkey that much, the skin tastes awful, so we have other meats alongside.
Usually gammon and another. This year beef.
I always associate yorkshires with beef but they turn up with every roast dinner now.

I plan to do a sort of British/Norwegian set up. Pinnekjøtt , stappe (Dried Lamb ribs with potato and root vegetable mash) and veggies for the main deal I would think with some Yorkies (the puddings not the chocolate bar which created a feminist backlash with an ad campaign)
My favourite Christmas food in recent years has been a roast ham though..magic!

there will plenty of liquid refreshment of course ..in fact i've already started drinking Gløgg and Juleøl in the mornings in preparation..:laugh:
Hmmm past 11 now time for for a half of Cognac..and a snort of nutmeg.

There's nowt cockney about pigs in blankets, we've been eating them in Manchester for donkey's. We're having turkey this year, we don't usually owing largely to my memories of it being like trying to eat sawdust but the Mrs insisted especially as the pack of Christmas meat coming from the butcher includes a turkey crown, which is a bit of a bugger as the legs are the best bit. :/

I want to know where all the Turkey Legs go when those Norfolk Bronze are cut up for Turkey Crowns. I am having a Norfolk Black/with Legs.

I just had a reminder of what bacteria can lurk in food. Up all night with a terrible stomach and feeling quite weak today, which happens to be my birthday so celebrations around eating cancelled. I roasted a chicken yesterday and I'm pretty sure some campylobacter on the raw chicken must have transferred to something as I was preparing it, and then I must have ingested it somehow.

A lesson that it's not just how long you cook food, it's what raw food touches on its way to your table and how that can spread round your kitchen in an invisible way.

Hope your feeling better soon. I’m constantly wiping down surface with anti bacterial, never be too safe.

Thanks for the good wishes - spending the day watching Walter Presents on Channel 4, "Arctic Murders" which seems about right for cold weather.

My brother, who's a retired doctor, took me through some good strategies in the kitchen. All his taps are the ones you can open and close with your elbows, like in hospitals. He was saying how he was appalled by TV chefs who don't wash their hands immediately after touching raw meat, and how James Martin used to pull them up about it on Saturday Kitchen.
