What Did You Enjoy Most

[Teapots1]

What food did you enjoy eating most this Christmas. ( not drink) I bought a small joint of brisket. I popped it in a thick freezer bag first and boiled it for an hour, then into a hot oven and roasted it over. Yummy!

The food wasn’t great for me this year. I was at my son and daughter-in-law’s house with their new baby. We had a fairly grim chicken/vegan thingy with frozen roast potatoes. The sprouts was the best bit.

I got home to lots of cheeses which I’m looking forward to doing something with.

[murraymints]

oh dear Clover..a Vegan Christmas does not hold much appeal for me either..enjoy your fromages ..ps need some posh for cheese chutney..got a bit of a lake ? lol xx

Forget the food.
I thoroughly enjoyed having all my offspring home for Christmas, I also enjoyed them going back home.
But now the house seems empty.
Sob, sob.

[Cloverjo]

That’s great ozzy. Nothing lovelier than having all your family round and then the little ‘phew’ when they leave

Of course you feel a bit empty now, but you’ve got those lovely memories

The Christmas cake that my sister makes - got one sitting here ready to be eaten too - along with the Christmas pud, also home-made. Her trick is to syringe in alcohol on a regular basis to both mixes from when she has made them, usually starting May or June - this year's booze to be needled being Armagnac. "Honestttlee, offishur, I only wash eatin the Chrish pudd thing"

Can I just add that if I spent Christmas on my own, I would be happy with cheese and more cheese. Since childhood mature cheddar cheese has been my favourite food. OH isn't a cheese fan, sadly.

I have enjoyed this lovely thread. Thanks Teapot.

>>> Can I just add that if I spent Christmas on my own, I would be happy with cheese and more cheese.

I can largely echo that, Lottie. Unfortunately I left my cheese shopping until too late, finding that all of the outlets around here that sell really good cheeses (such as our local farm shop) had closed before I got there on Christmas Eve. So, although I had some standard supermarket cheeses in the fridge, I found myself missing decent cheese over Christmas.

Like you, I appreciate a decent cheddar (such as Keen's or Black Bomber) but I also enjoy a subtle blue cheese, such as the excellent Suffolk Blue.

if its not too late, i had a croque madame today, and its my new fave

[naomi24]

None of it. I’m not a foodie
and eat very little: I just feed others. They liked it all.

I enjoyed tikka samosas last night.

Half-way through my Chocolate Advent Calendar I became impatient so Christmas came all at once 12 days early ;-)

[Mamyalynne]

Premature advent - not uncommon.

Boxing day we had turkey and home-made chips, by my stepdad. I think he is the reason my sister and I don't like other chips... spoilt :-)

[Mamyalynne]

One of my Grandsons when he was little refused to eat my homemade chips- saying he didn't want those made from potatoes but those that came in a bag from a shop :-)

[Cloverjo]

Love that, Mamya. Sometimes those chips just are the best.
I’m still sticking with my sprouts though
