    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 😁
    Are your Yorkshires singing?

    Typical millwall. They're giving it large while hiding behind the pigs.

    I also like the way you chose a plate that helped you not put tomato ketchup out with your meal.

    How’s everyone feeling after their Christmas excesses yesterday?
    I just had a huge dump, gave me an idea for a new interactive ratings based thread but I thought better of it….

    Reminds me of the caterpillar I ate in Zimbabwe

    Didn’t they have to eat one of these in “I’m a celebrity”. Pretty sure they burst when you bite into them.

    You're brave, I'll give you that. A churro and a slug?....and where are the spuds?

    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. 
    We eat at about 1pm. Had visits to other family members to tick off so always get it done nice and early.

    Re the side plate, it wasn't that small a plate but point taken. The missus insisted on using the only festive crockery we've got. Yorkshires were served as we didn't have turkey  :)

    Back right are the spuds, the slug is half a red onion chucked in with the lamb to roast and soak up the lamb juices. 

    No idea what the churro is that you're referring to haha

    Apologies. Now I know they are the spuds, it's clear they are wrapped in calamari.... :wink:

    I think you'd be hard pressed to prove it hasn't already.

    More likely than looking like that massive pig in blanket!

    Using bathroom scales as place mats is a new one on me.
    Its a Christmassy idea and first heard in a Christmas Carol of weigh in a manger and a nursery rhyme about curds and weigh.
