Alternative Christmas Dinner .............

[echokilo]

What would be on your ideal menu? No turkey allowed!!

[emmie]

i thought the idea was no Turkey?

[DaisyNonna]

Avocado and crayfish tails followed by Roast Beef, roast potatoes, fine green beans, broccolli, proper gravy, then fresh fruit salad and then cheese, cheese and more cheese. A selection including Cheshire, Brie, Stillton, Wensleydale, Smoked Apple etc. etc. Selection of wines (nothing sweet) real coffee and a decent Scotch.

Oops! Forgot the Yorkshire Pudding.
Alas on a low fat low cholesterol diet. Good job it is only an ideal!

[Psybbo]

oh thank you em, are we having that?

[emmie]

we are, several bottles, haven't had this for some years, but we should push the boat out.

[Psybbo]

I'll go halfers, booking my flight now

I've been sat here trying to remember the last time I had turkey on Christmas day and I think it might have been 30 odd yrs ago!

[ummmm]

I haven't had it since I lived at home.

[emmie]

i don't like Turkey all that much, want a total change. My ideal meal would be a mixed seafood barbecue, on a secluded beach with some friends in New Zealand or other friends in Australia. Langoustine, dublin bay prawns, with a nice cold crate of beer.

[emmie]

as said before, can't beat wonderful Lincolnshire or Cumberland sausages, and good mash, made with double cream, delicious.

[DTCwordfan]

Have you tried the Charles Heisdick, sibbo, not the Piper-H...........really nice and far more intense (but balanced) than the Louis R

[Georgiesmum]

Any type of seafood! YUM!

[chokkie]

We're having Steak and kidney pudding one day, and a Waitrose three game-bird roast on one of the other days we're off work.
