What's for Christmas Dinner?

Or lunch as some might say.

Usual - swan. Then swan curry for the next week, one expects.

Duck - which reminds me, need to go collect from the butcher's el pronto

Stuffed with goose?

Doubtful in this age of austerity. There may be goosing opportunities later on however.

[original PM]

Full turkey, ham joint and beef joint

and then just a joint.



No 'Ham' on the survey so had to choose Pork

[darmstadt]

Had the main one yesterday, Brussel Sprout soup followed by Roast Beef with all the trimmings ending with Chocolate Pannacotta. Today will be Raclette

It's my wife and I with eldest daughter tomorrow.

For a late lunch post Brenda it's smoked salmon followed by haunch of venison cooked by yours truly. My wife has an interim Christmas pudding course whilst I sit that one out and go straight for the cheese.

We've got a very nice Saint Peray with the hors followed by a 2010 Margaux. There's a 2008 Hermitage in reserve.

Your good self?

[Old Greg]

Thank you for your kind enquiry.

Chestnut and mushroom wellington with roasties and port gravy.

I also do the cooking on Christmas day. We've got 9 adults and my grandson to feed.

I'll do a 10lb roast citrus goose (this recipe, which I've used before ), with roast potatoes, carrots and parsnips (using the goose fat, which acquires a lovely citrus flavour), bacon brussels (à la Heston Blumenthal), red cabbage (not decided yet), followed by Christmas pud and custard.

Getting the wine and brandy this afternoon.
