We're having a traditional Christmas dinner with the Father-In-Law at his dementia home. It's his first Christmas there so I'll be doing my best to make sure the missus doesn't get too weepy. In the evening the missus and I will have champagne cocktails and caviar on our lonesome at home whilst watching some tulip on telly.

Same with parsnips, never really liked them till I did some roast for Mr N recently, he was lucky to have any left.

Obviously I'll be having a twelve bird roast Heal Farm - On Line Meat and Country Food: Massive 12 Bird True Love Roast - feeds 125
Either that or goose with all the usual trimmings. Yum!

Sprouts fried in butter and bacon are nice. But only because they end up tasting of buttery bacon.

I shall of course, be keeping the cost to less than £150 per head.

No one ever has more than 1 each of these so to put a bowl out of 20 is pointless, timeconsuming and it takes up valuable table space...
mmm I think I may do a hybrid this year!

Goose, probably. Or roast lamb. Goose with lemons and limes is wonderful, as are the potatoes roasted in the fat.
