    I've got Covid. For the first time in my life, I'm spending Christmas Day on my own. I managed to get hold of an M&S turkey meal for one at the last minute.

    This is it. It wasn't that bad, apart from the turkey which tasted a bit weird. Slag it off all you like – it's a ready meal!

    This feels like when protesters step aside to let an ambulance through. You get a pass RA, hope you feel better soon

    Heres my plate before i smothered it i  gravy and added a yorkshire. Turkey, a little bit of lamb, roast potatoes, mash, parsnips, brussels with bacon, carrots and sausagemeat stuffing plus the yorkshire and a couple pigs in blankets! Very full now! Merry Christmas everyone!
    Dinner: looks decent - 8/10
    Table Dressing: clearly not bothered but not offensive - 4/10

    Dunno where you can get little mini-carrot turds to roast though. I mean what animal eats carrots and then drops out perfectly formed carrot droppings?

    Plenty of Turkey and Gammon hidden underneath and even managed to scrounge some of my mother's stuffing.
    Stu please tell me this was served on a saucer and isn’t what appears to be the biggest plate of food ever?

    No wonder you never needed a Covid jab with half the food industry fighting for you…
    It's the biggest plate i could find 🤣😂

    Three types of stuffing, including ‘gran-gran’s Caribbean stuffing (see below). Gran-gran passed away last week, but left presents for everybody, so there were tears shed as presents were opened.

    You`ve lost the surface tension on that gravy.

    Pre Gravy

    Pile on - I’m thick skinned 

    That’s drier than a post menopausal nuns knickers.

    Danish style…

    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.

    Turkey, stuffing, yorkshires, roast pots , carrots , parsnips, cauliflower cheese, pigs in blankets, bread sauce and gravy. Conventional, but it tasted good.

    The thick gravy looks a little like having to clear up after my dog if he's eaten too many pigs in blankets.

    Haddock goujons instead of meat today 

    Looks like a bin bag from a school canteen split and spilled over the playground.

    Turkey and stuffing, roast potato wedges and cauliflower with cheese sause and gravy .... bit untraditional but noone here to impress.  Plate by Royal Albert.  Chrstmas greetings from Sydney.  
    Sum up Charlton's last decade on a plate.

    Mr Tatters like to do a sudoku while I’m slaving away in the kitchen. Alan Pardew’s having a party apparently and you should bring something.
