Rugeley Villa Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Just had myself my Boxing Day tradition full English. Undecided whether to crack open a bottle. I usually drink more on Boxing Day than I do xmas day. Obviously long gone are the days where it’s a full on heavy session, but i’ll have myself a few bottles today. Was up at 6 with my youngest, and it took me a good hour to properly come round from yesterday. Very exhausting day is Christmas, but in a good way.

We had Turkey crown too, and I agree it’s far more moist and succulent than regular turkey which can be very dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Off to a Miller & Carter steak restaurant today so should be nice. Might struggle with the 4 courses though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Another one in the Turkey crown camp... with bacon on top accompanied with some red cabbage (about the only veg I’ll eat cooked ) Was really tasty , I’m not getting the turkey hate ... especially when the alternative appears to be a nut loaf ... even if I had a bushy tail and fought crime accompanied by my side kick Morocco mole , i’d still be chomping down on turkey over a nut loaf got a nice Gammon joint planned for tonight , any reference to VT’s favourite insult is purely coincidental 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always fancied trying it but tbh it looks mainly bone and not enough meat for my liking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I had a t bone steak there and it was fine, but last and only time I've ordered a steak with bone in, just seems like you always get shortchanged on the meat. Also adding to the Turkey crown choice here. First time we've gone for the crown instead of the full turkey. It was bloody delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of other choices though. With Mr Hankey now out the way I'm feeling more confident of polishing 4 courses off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted December 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2018 Woke up this morning and decided I never wanted to eat or drink again. I've now changed my mind, getting a bit peckish and contemplating a beer, while waiting for the family to come round for the buffet. Only Aston Villa can spoil things now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mandy Lifeboats Posted December 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2018 Merry Christmas All. We went to friends for Christmas dinner, but they don't know that we did! Half way through cooking dinner our electrics tripped out. I reset the fuse board but the oven was as dead as a door nail. Some friends who live around the corner are away on holiday and I have a key. So we loaded up all the food, took it round to theirs, finished cooking it, then carried it back. The miserable sods had turned the heating off. Nor was there any fizzy on ice. Worst Christmas hosts ever. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds lovely. I wasn’t cooking so couldn’t be too demanding with the meal choice. But my mom was cute bless her and embraced the no meat demands. She still gets confused between vegan and vegetarian though. Hence the vegan puddings. But haloumi to start 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 It's been a nightmare Christmas for me, my team are launching a new magazine for my area on Jan 2nd, so it's all been work! Just want to wish you all a merry Christmas. Proud to support the same team as you all, and those I have had clashes with - it's not personal (people like @TRO!) I hope you all had a great Christmas. And I hope you all have a fantastic new year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wazzap24 Posted December 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2018 What was everyone's best present? Mine was the wife in just a skimpy pair of Xmas knickers and black killer heels It really was the gift that keeps on giving, because although it was over ahem, fairly quickly, it's going to be ingrained in the wank bank for quite some time It was also a great Xmas breakfast, but probably not one for the 'what you eating there then' thread. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
