What we having?

Sister in law (modest handful) and her fella split, in-laws in France, so it's just the five of us at home. If I'm honest, I can't really be arsed; it's an early Sunday dinner, and will have all the fannying around without the extra gifts and booze.

 

Anyway, kids want turkey. They didn't have mash last year, and tbf I didn't miss it; however they insist. The wife usually asks for gammon, and that's my usual contribution to a family meal. I'm looking forward to making gravy, semifredo etc in advance. Go forth good folk of WWays; inspire me with your festive fayre

Happy birthday dear Jesus, happy birthday to you, happy birthday Dear jesus, happy birthday to you.

Never forgive, never forget. 

At the sister-in-laws for dinner today. All sat down as she brought the food out. The last bowl to come out was fucking sweetcorn!!! I got a sharp boot to the shin under the table from the Mrs when I burst out laughing thinking about this thread. 😂 

I politely declined when it was being offered round, with her giving me an angry face as she knew I wanted to call out such bullshit 😁

Sweet corn. Christ on a bike. 

Just had our starter, lobster tails. Mmmmm 

Just nipping out shortly to pick a Chinese up for tea.

Just finished ours, I'm absolutely stuffed, the sister-in-law has done us proud.

Turkey, Pigs in Blankets, Cauli Cheese, Leeks, Carrots, Red Cabbage, Parsnips, Black Pudding, Gravy, Bread Sauce, Roasties, Chips.....and controversially.......Yorkshire Puddings

It was tremendous though, and not a mushy pea in sight.

Woah. Chips?

I hope you have politely declined to ever go there for Xmas dinner again. 

Thankfully, with the way these things work, it will be a good few years before I have to come up with an excuse. But yes, I share your sentiment 👍

I was making joke - if people want to celebrate the birthday of a fictional Nazarene by getting pissed and eating fowl and mushy peas and burnt parsnips then fair play.

I've turned to Mecca. So it's just Saturday without football.

I'm a bad one though as I've imbibed alcohol.

But not alone judging by the amount of empty spirit bottles obviously dumped from cars in the gutters of Great Lever, empty Nos cylinders and balloons too.

These young men are akin to kuffar with these exploits.

I'm a white devil born that way - they have no excuse.

Tbh I think there’s grounds for having some sort of sworn declaration from any prospective wife or partner as to the quality and contents of a Xmas dinner 

 

and sign of mushy peas , sweet corn , bread sauce or cranberry and you at least know it’s destined to fail from Day one. 
 

it’s unacceptable behavior

To be fair, the S-i-L may well have made amends just this minute. Do presents after dinner these lot and she has given me a box of 8 different IPA's with an accompanying packet of nuts or crisp for each. I can't complain at that and it may just make up for the sweetcorn misdemeanour. 😁

For clarity as to why this gets her a pass on the sweetcorn, for the last ten years she has given me a cop-out amazon voucher.

Also I think I'm about to break the Internet. The Mrs knows about this thread and it's many many revalations... 

But 

She's served my 4 year old a fucking potato waffle instead of roast potatoes as she's not a fan of spuds. Even my daughter fucked it off!

Sorry Stevie but tell your dear missus to just fuck off. 

You know it was a good curry when all three of us went straight to bed for an hour as soon as we got home. Only issue was the tandoori lamb chop starter has made my fingers look like I’ve smoked 60 a day for the last 50 years. Going to have to soak them in turps.

We’re having butties next year.

Every year I spend all day doing a veggie meal and a normal one to a decent enough standard , and every year folk are either hungover or pissed or over face themselves with summat and it ends up getting half-eaten.

Then they all vanish with a “we’ll sort the pots out later” and I just do em because they’ll get fucking left.

Well I’ve officially fucking resigned as of tonight.

Get some tips off Youri. 

Get smashed. Whoopsie butties you've fought off the local illegal immigrant for dinner and a takeaway for tea.

Or just serve em potato waffles for Christmas Dinner. Its a thing. I've seen it with my own eyes! 🤣 

Stuffed now, thinking of going to bed in about an hour, be up nice and fresh for our proper Xmas day tomorrow with the kids.

Only the two of us here. 
I'm not a fan of turkey and/or Xmas dinner.
Junior doesn't eat meat.

Just got back from Bolton after taking mother for a sumptuous turkey feast at my brother’s.

Mrs and her family have just got back from a shitty Italian in Drolylsden, all pissed, and civil war has erupted. Crap food, table near the door where it was cold and all arguing with each other at top volume blaming each other for everything. As per for Christmas Day

Mother had better live well past 100 so that I can continue to swerve that shite every year for a good while
