I’ve just been in touch with @AFKABartram and unfortunately due to his current situation with Covid-19 he is unable to continue with the “rate my plate” competition. Instead I agreed with him that we could all share our Xmas platters here for discussion and comment (and a rating out of 10 if you wish?).
Here is my offering to start with. A traditional Danish Christmas dinner of duck, pork, new potatoes, brown (caramelised) potatoes, red cabbage, picked cucumber and pumpkin.
Highlight was Mrs SB’s enormous puddings. Ooh errr!!
Tomato sauce is essential to offset the bitterness of the sprouts. Potato croquettes and sweet corn should be the staple of any traditional Christmas Dinner, washed down with a vintage glass of Pepsi Max.
first Xmas Dinner I've had to cook, tastes better than it looked!
The four of your must be contenders for the thinnest family of the year award or do you sit at the table overlapped in some Chinese state circus pyramid formation.

Standard overall was incredibly high this year. Thankfully there was this absolute insult to mankind to balance things out.
Where do you start? With the Findus Crispy Pancake or the slice of Brussels pate next to it? Or the sweet corn, the ketchup pond or the artefact Yorkshire that looks like it’s been salvaged from an archeological dig?
Only thing you can warm to with that plate is the single piece of sweet corn on the right who worked out he wanted nothing to do with this Christmas Catastrophe and is desperately trying to escape.

He's probably thinking "I'm not getting shit out undigested in the morning"
I’m sorry, I appear to have incorrectly clicked on the pretentious photo shoot thread....
Bit harsh. I was quite proud of how our Christmas table looked this year.
I look forward to seeing it in the Waitrose’s catalogue later this year, Bet Xmas was a blast in your house cutting carrots and parsnips to the exact same millimetre length...
The whole purpose is to be harsh. It looks lovely mate :-)
I love meat on the bone too much to sacrifice it for carved Turkey... Cooked much better I felt this year - My wife really does cook some good potatoes
Her only fault was when she went to cook the Yorkshire's and realised she hadnt brought the mini ones
Have studied this for some time but cannot fathom what the meat is. Looks like the head of a Turkey but I am guessing it is something better than that!

Or a fridge raid after a session in the White Hart?
Sweetcorn?
Spring roll??
Ketchup???
That's before I've even got to the filing cabinet on the edge of the plate!
