Beef Wellington, mashed and gratin potatoes, Brussels with chestnuts, red cabbage and a red wine jus.
"And then sort of make a gravy nipple... yeah, that's it."
Yeah I deserve that, I started pouring and then didn't want to hide the perfect colour of the beef for my pic for this thread. Probably should have thrown it in the bin and got another one.
Completely forgot to take a pic of mine but some absolute shockers on here this year that have had me cracking up along with the comments. Thanks for the laughs fellow Lifers and a very Merry Xmas to you all!
Do I hear applause? Where and when do I collect my prize? 😉
Since you're being cocky. Potato's simultaneously burnt and undercooked. Fuck knows how you managed that and gravy could be darker. Beyond that looks decent.
Personally would've enjoyed another veg, but there was plenty of spuds and beef so mustn't grumble. And obviously as it was Mrs BA's effort, I kept my critique to myself. Was very good.
Story behind mine: gf's in Ireland and my parents are both sick with RSV, so family Xmas was cancelled and I've had to perform a solo effort. Grey mullet with a West African style stuffing and a bacon wrap, with sprouts fried in butter and spiced cassava roasties. Given I've not had to do this much before, I hope it passes muster! Now to tuck in...
Suddenly it all makes sense - that’s a Christmas dinner that sums up why you prioritise ball playing abilities in centre backs over actual defending.
Oven roasted potatoes, caramelised potatoes, caramelised cocktail onions, scotch fillet, red cabbage, potato chips (a regional thing frowned upon in some parts of Denmark…) and thick gravy.
Catching up and wondering amongst the earlier chaos, how the hell did a plate consisting of pickled onions, diarrhoea and a bag of Walkers get let off so lightly???
