    Not ours but my 19 year olds Christmas plate in Adelaide 



    Just to put a bit more "meat on the bone", I have just spoken to Seb has told me that the fish like effort on the right is actually roasted pumpkin, other veg includes veg/salad mix, the meat buried under the somewhat thick gravy and next to the gammon is turkey, chicken and lamb, courgettes, carrots.

    Member's of my wife's family were hosting and ordinarily they started with oysters and seafood.

    Sometimes less is more. In this case, a lot lot lot less.

    The broccoli was still there at the end.

    Better grouping needed on the roast potatoes. Over done it on the carrot

    If you just want sausages why bother with the rest?

    Pigs in blankets used to be small accompaniments. When did they become the main attraction?

    credit for the bread sauce, a much underrated element of Christmas.

    sadly you have fallen fowl of the common trait of allowing food to overlap the edge of the plate.

    Fair effort. I'm not sure asparagus has a role to play at Christmas and the meat at the bottom looks a bit dry. Unfortunately, lost points for the arrogance of "nailed it", because you haven't quite...  ;)

    Let yourself down with the dirty knife and bit of foil in the Yorkshire. Top Brussel looks like it has been suitably aroused.

    Carrots look good, and pigs in blankets are in proportion. The ratio of meat to veg is a little underwhelming and the gravy is a little slap dash in its application, but overall looks good...

    I'm a big fan of your pastry skills - not easy to do. The bacon on the pigs in blankets looks a little bit fake but the cauliflower cheese looks excellent...

    What I think is the stuffing, looks alarmingly like what I have just cleaned up in our garden, after the dogs left some messages for me 😉

    Because I’d started eating before I remembered to take a photo 😋 - no foil - must be a reflection. We don’t do do turkey, so beef all the way. If anything the Brussel aroused me. Love ‘em.

    Not bad - nice touch with the pint of Guinness - but that is one weird looking knife ??

    Probably the best effort so far G but needs more roasties
