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 

It's a small pie

Dunno what stops it being a meat pie

will the mushy peas be plain or minted?

Such people cannot be trusted.

I don’t honestly know what a Kardashian is, but I bet it doesn’t like roast potatoes

I thought it was bad enough going to the game tonight, but I can’t imagine how shit it would be to go through life not liking roast potatoes.

That said, curry house for us on Christmas Day 👍 

OK, I can just...just about wrap my head around

1) People buying Meciana cheese as something you put out after a meal

2) mushy peas at Christmas. On the basis that everyone - and I mean everyone of us - as Christmas traditions that may seem odd to others, and as my other half said after I described this meal said, "I bet they have a cracking Christmas day." Each to their own.

But a Boltonian not knowing what a whist pie is.

No.

Nope.

Not having it.

Jesus, people here slap massive spoonfuls of mint sauce into cups of mushy peas and eat them just like that. Fucking raw. Barbarians.

Meat & potato pie, mushy peas, mint sauce. Yorkshire’s greatest export.

We might not be perfect, but we're not mushy peas on a Christmas dinner insane.

Baby Jesus won't mind a pig sacrificing itself for you for a few pigs in blankets. Wish I could get smashed. I will be in the kitchen slaving away instead of spending it with my children 🙄

Adults will be too half cut before dinner, you could just half cook it, they'll love it.

And if they don't, there is always the half block of mexicana.
