Chef - interesting, in my family its been a tradition that Xmas Eve is stricktly seafood, no meat. Then Xmas day is the meaty day - usually Turkey, but not gona do the Turkey this year....
A couple of pigs or goats paraded in front of me before having their heads staved in or throats cut and then freshly served on my plate in a few hours.
Followed by freshly caught carp and trout from the lake
Ah, such festive fun at the in-laws...forget Santa's Little Grotto, we have Santa's Little Abattoir...
If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

partridge & guinea fowl sounds interesting, only its a bit risky don't you think? meat may be quite tough, and too little of it?
My mother in law has a similar menu setup. Funny, that. I never heard of it until I had Christmas there.
errr nope, they deliver the food to me on fridays, the christmas run will be done on the friday before xmas i presume
or if your referring to my g'friend, no i collected her myself. Met her in Latvia while travelling through eastern europe, she was the hotel manager. Now she's still a hotel manager but in the Hilton Manchester.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
Best crimbo dinner is a nice slab of Roast Aberdeen Angus (and by roast I mean warmed in the oven) that still bleeds as you cut it MMMMMmmmmMMmmmMMMmmmmmmmmmmm
