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

More herbs and flavours in a broth.

corned beef and potatoes left to ferment is another planet, food-wise.

Corned beef is wank.

A quality piece of skirt, or shin is something else.

You can easily add some herbs to it to suit your taste.

If you're into herbs, grow some lovage, and use leaves sparingly in beef dishes.

A simple seasoning of salt and pepper, together with ingredients in stock makes for a good flavour anyway.

On a Christmas Dinner (a traditional one, not with mushy peas)............is it acceptable to have salad cream?

No

Salad Cream is completely unacceptable in all any circumstance.

I don’t know your friend, but am appalled at such lack of class; unfriend.

I'm not sure about that, I do like a dollop of Brown sauce on the festive roasties though

Might try that this year. Can imagine it going well with parsnip

Brown sauce and ketchup at Christmas dinner? Its a tradtional lunch, not a road side cafe

People are taking the piss now.

Cranberry or possibly apple sauce only. Or bread sauce. That's it. 

Some people have been brought up in barns.

nope, try it, it's amazing

Don't mix it up with the salad cream on the Brussells though, otherwise it doesn't taste nice at all, and looks a bit rank

Forget politics - there are two sides on WW now.

Those who treat their christmas dinner like they are last in line at a service station and lump any old shite on their plates (probably eat of their knees as well)

And those who are normal.

 

Religion always brings the worst out in folks

Bread sauce is a weird one. Can’t make my mind up on it

Nope. Its rank. Rather someone jizzed on my Christmas Dinner and I ate it.
