3 shopping days to go and I still can't decide, well Dad can't what meat he wants for Xmas Dinner. It's either a Turkey Crown or a 5 Bird Roast. TBF doesn't feel Xmassy this year. I'll buy whatever and the veg etc on Wednesdsy. PS No we don't have Yorkies on Xmas day and yes we will be having Prawn Cocktail for a starter.

[/] Turkey Crown

Got to be - no faff on and the pair of you will be eating it for about 3 days.

No fancy for Xmas dinner this year, probably because due to the lockdown, had more roast dinners than normal, so its a Turkey Curry for me, with rice, naan bread and poppadom trimmings

Turkey crown, keep it moist.

I love a prawn cocktail too. Can't understand why folks are so snobbish about it. Plenty of ways to add some variety on the presentation if needed but a good reliable offering.

we both do in our house and thats what matters to me. these foody snobs get right up my throat. if i got served with a nearly empty plate with a squiggle of siomething on it there would be a big row for sure.

We have smoked salmon and prawns with sea food sauce for starters. Had that for years. Easy to prepare, we all like it, job's a goodun.

Anyone having difficulties finding silver sixpences for the xmas pudding?

Can't find any Turkish Delight or them Chocolate oranges on the shelves?

Save up and get yourself to Poundland Mr Sussex. PS Poundland also have a Turkish Delight "Wafer Thin" type box, you know tht you can only eat after 20.00 hrs.

I make my own Soss for the Prawns, nowt too fancy. Also Dad doesn't like Soss, so it's only for me. FTR I use a Ramekin, Squeeze Red soss in, add the same (ish) squeeze of Mayo. Add a splash or 2 of either Worcester or Soy(I prefer Light, but Dark works aswell) soss, a bit of chopped garlic and a bit chopped Red Chilli. Stir, season with freshly cracked Pepper(plenty saltiness from the Worcester/Soy) to taste and when served Sprinkle with Paprika. I can't tell you the exact measures, so you'll have to by my Cookbook, available from any good retailer for £49.99 (plus P&P). Enter voucher code "IknowtheBishop" for a 1% discount.

well it must be a good thing there is no chocolate oranges about. the shelf is the best place for these things as i know of nobody who likes these bloody things.

Looking like Chicken thighs in my curry , as getting diced Turkey ( usually from Asda ) is like rocking horse shit at the moment

What's Xmas without a glass of babycham and a cigar called Hamlet eh.

And a splash of Hai Karate?

How cultured are you Mr Sussex normally plebs like myself might have a sneaky QC sherry or even a snowball but a babycham now that's another level

All the best you filthy animals

Don’t forget the bottle of Advocat that will stay almost full and sit in the cupboard for the next 12 years.

or egg flip for us cheapies. does anyone still have a salad at christmas tea time. used to be the thing years ago especially with tinned salmon.

Just finished off a Watney's Party Seven can..and nana's drank all the barley wine.
