    That reminds me. I need to clear out my septic tank.

    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.




    Looks like diarrhoea smeared across a badly sunburnt bum. Think some Chav that’s got blind drunk, gone for a very loose sangrea-laced shit on the playa, fallen over, then asleep with shorts tangled around his ankles. And then midday when he finally wakes up his pasty bum has absorbed enough UV to glow like Marie Currie’s nipples. 

    No, my wife wasn’t impressed.

    Thats a lot of chapati starters. Will anyone have room for the main course?
    Ten out of ten for organisation and classy presentation.

    Did you go back to the pub halfway through and was there any booing at the final whistle

    Pre Gravy

    Pile on - I’m thick skinned 
    Good news. The Met Police have just tweeted and ruled out the damage to the turkey as a terrorist attack.

    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???
    One of my fellow Auckland Addicks mates reckon this is what our back line eat 20 mins before kick off…


  • Looking at that turkey I'm guessing you were trying out a new paper shredder for Christmas or dinner was served by Wolverine? 
  • Didn't take a picture so can't enter the comp this year. Shame, as I probably would have won. Had Turkey, Beef, Gammon with all the trimmings.
    Sons mother in law was over from Texas and insisted on making a dish for us. Sweet potato with marshmallows on top and sweetened further with orange juice. Fuck me, it was rank!

    If you're a good boy maybe they'll let you eat Christmas dinner inside the house next year?

    Were you down the park?

    Is this the first experience of salted caramel turkey?

    How do you even get potatoes to look like that….

    How posh are you?
    Posh? That would be fresh butter curls served in a chilled butter dish. 

    Individual butter portions are a signifier of either a) middle class pretensions or b) Christmas Dinner at the local Harvester.

    Are the broccoli and stuffing balls intended to represent Beaker from The Muppets?

    The meat, gravy, and roast veggies actually look delicious, but I understand the brief of this thread. So I’ll shut up 
  • How’s everyone feeling after their Christmas excesses yesterday?
  • Thank you all for your kind words and participation.  Yes, perhaps a poor effort on Traceys part but she'll be back next Christmas with a crackers.  There are mitigating circumstances which might belong on the 'How are you?'  thread.  Tracey is a wonderful home cook I'm 10kg over weight to prove it.  So of your comments were in bad taste ( a bit like lunch) which others were more clinical and cutting.  We loved them all.  I cracked up and cried with some of the roasting.  Best wishes.  Rich
  • Great thread as always.
    Fair play all who were brave enough to post.
    If I’m ever allowed to cook a Christmas dinner I shall post but that’s not likely anytime soon.

    Happy St Stephen’s Day 🥂🍻

    Late entry for judging. Plenty off screen to top up with. Didn't want to overcrowd the plate. Pigs in blankets were momentarily forgotten about, hence the caramelisation 😁

    Pretty decent, hard to judge without seeing the gravy and not sure about the half a bread roll on the right hand side. Nice bit of crispy skin though.

    Told her it was lovely. Funnily enough most of it is still in the serving bowl. It's deffo NOT going in my bubble and squeak. Hopefully she'll be gone before she realises it hasn't been eaten.

    Why serve that lot on a side plate? (Looks good btw).

    I generally feel that Yorkshire puds don't go with Xmas dinner if you're serving turkey. They take up too much room on the plate as well.

    BTW, what time does everyone eat? Ours was around four thirty.

    Every bloody year I forget to take a picture...

  • Fair play to @The Red Robin for seeking out salt n pepper pots based on our 14-15 away kit 



    Loyal to the cause.
