The CHRISTMAS Thread

[Alan]

Biscuits and sawmill gravy is maybe the best thing the American South has contributed to the world.

Aside from yours truly, of course.

Somewhat related, a girl at work said she likes raw sausages. Channelling her inner Neil from Inbetweeners

She also likes jacket potato on toast (as a sandwich) so I call her carb-on-carb

What the actual fuck?

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

It's traditional in Yorkshire, where they originate. So not that mad.

I'd never try it myself but as it is essentially the same ingredients as a pancake then I can sort of see it.

Raw bacon I could understand as it's already been cured, but raw sausage meat is just weird and doesn't sound safe.

Potatoes on toast is just wrong too. That said I have made a cottage pie butty before, and chips go in a butty.

do you need me to point out where you went wrong here?

Yes it's just savoury pastry. Cold or reheated with something sweet on top. Lovely.

 

[Alan]

"Cottage pie butty" is a secret Fnarr if I've ever heard one.

 

[BillyDee]

Don't forget steak and kidney "pudding"...

Yeah she made the chip butty point when I said 'wat'. A few people said WTF at the sausages. Curry in yorkshire pudding was another one - she was adamant people try that one before dissing it

we've been invited to xmas dinner elsewhere. I am not happy about it, but we are going, as to decline would be too much hassle (apparently - I am quite happy to tell em to get tae fuck, but y'know, families...)
Anyway, now mrs jelly is wanting to tell em to get tae fuck, because apparently they have yorkshire puddings on the xmas dinner.
Not on mine you don't. Thaat is valuable space for roast potatoes. And if it isn't space for a roast pot, then it is to be filled with pigs in blankets.
Yorkshire puds on a fucking xmas dinner. FFS, who do they think I am, bear?

 

[Sniffer]

Yorkshire Puddings with Christmas dinner is fine. Put the roasters and veg inside it if it hasn't risen, side plate if it has.

 

[The Bear]

People get waaaayyyy too pedantic about Christmas Dinner. It's just another roast like any other but with turkey. Except you add sprouts and pigs in blankets.

The best Christmas Dinner is the one that gets the fam around the table, innit

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

We have Yorkie Puds with every roast dinner we have. Including Christmas dinner. It's great.

My wife doesn't eat any vegetables though so I guess she has to fill her plate up somehow.

Going out on Christmas day this year, first time ever. My Grandma is paying so I won't be as annoyed at the huge price if it's meh

I don't eat veg in any great volume as I find them a bit boring just eating spoonfuls of peas or carrots (or broccoli). I like to mix in my peas and carrots with my mash, makes everything nicer together.

Almost any meal can be improved by being put between some bread and butter IMO.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

As Christmas dinner should be beef with Turkey being satans arse drippings of course you should have yorkies.

 

[Alan]

Gotta roast your greens with some olive oil, garlic, and parmesan. That'll turn any green food into a treat.

 

[BillyDee]

Yeah, roasting veg is the way. Sprouts with a drizzle of oil, some chilli flakes and garlic, and bacon lardons.
