Popular Post sidcow Posted December 5, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2020 Just put the Xmas lights on the front of the house. I hadn't been looking forward to it. I remember it was really fiddly trying to remember which way to start laying them and when to turn back. Opened the box and sitting on top I found a note I had written to myself last year with clear instructions. I'm going to get that man a beer or two tonight. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for breaking tradition in this instance. Which leads me on to the next question. What is on your perfect Xmas dinner plate? For me it has to have yorkies, roasties, carrots and roast parsnips. Plus lots of pigs in blankets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted December 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 5, 2020 My personal stance is if the roast potatoes are good, then more often than not I’ll have considered the meal a success. The rest of the meal has to be pretty bad to outweigh the positive of a handful of good roasties. Anyway, the contents of the plate is nothing revolutionary. Turkey/chicken, roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, stuffing, peas, carrots (maybe parsnips) and onion gravy. Yorkshire puddings, if they’re there, fine. If not, I won’t be disappointed. I know cranberry sauce has been a contentious point on here. I like it, but again I can do with out. Feeling hungry now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 No cranberry here, I'll probably stick some mustard on the side I like the components of a roast too much to let the meat determine what I can and can't eat with it Chicken / turkey / beef / pork / lamb I'm having stuffing and Yorkshires with it, mustard with all of them apart from lamb when the mint comes in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
