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 

I wouldn't try and prove any point, culinary or not with, I was once in a Morrisons cafe.

This made me laugh.

 

But if this bullying, and thats what it is continues im going to tell.

Can we still get black peas. 

They'd be a fucking right touch on a crimbo dinner (said in Jimmy bullard style)

That's just sick.

A little ramekin of baked beans would be acceptable though I reckon

This mushy pea situation seems to be your Eamonn Holmes moment 

As this mushy peas business has become a discussion point of its own, then I will raise you with this crime against gastronomy.

Wife makes a mean spaghetti bolognese, but for some reason last week she chucked in some fucking broccoli. 

I shit you not. Her excuse- "well there was a bit left in the fridge".

Disgraceful, I picked it out, and have referred it to adult services.

I'm not going to argue.

No defence to be offered.

A good night to deliver such horrors I suppose, but I'm wondering if I need to install cctv in the kitchen for my own protection.

I like to think I’m a fairly accomplished home cook. Good Yorkshire puddings still to this day evade me for some Reason. They are my utter fucking nemesis. No matter what I do they always go fucking wrong. 
 

and I have them with every roast dinner. And sage and onion stuffing as well. 

Don't get me going about Yorkshire Puddings... always used Aunt Bessies but the the wokes have made her less attractive, she used to be  a buxom Yorkshire lass with a nice crack of cleavage peeping out, now its all covered up.

Genuinely... 

Chickpeas 

Beans (butter... Kidney... Baked if you are a spaz) 

Loads of onion 

Veg like spinach 

Curry powder 

Garlic 

Chilli 

Boil the fuck out of it in a tin. 

Camping meal 101....Still rather have that than mushy peas on my Christmas Dinner! 🤣

Not butterbeans.

As for a dhal, I prefer to make them from base ingredients, and keep them simpler.

Skinless urad one at the weekend. Excellent.

Simpler than lentils...Curry powder and whatever is going off in the fridge! 

 

 

Yorkshires only go with roast beef or sausages. Nowt else. Ever

And always homemade. Piece of piss

Measuring jug. Measure the same level each of eggs, flour and milk and tip into a bowl. Dash of vinegar. Blend til smooth. Heat the oil in the tray til MickyD’s mates are knocking on the door worried about you burning your house down. 10 mins in the oven. Perfect

I thought Yorkshires and mash were divisive enough 

Fuck me.

OK. I've been on this site for about 15 years and I've seen it posted a few times. 

 

 

What the fuck is a whist pie? 

This needs to stop.

Now.
