I've just been out for my third Christmas lunch so far this year, and I've still got two more to go. As I'm involved with several clubs/groups, they all have Christmas lunches, which are lovely but a bit disastrous for my figure. I know I could choose a healthy option, but I do like my food, and I can't resist Christmas pudding.
At the rate I'm going, I will look like this by Christmas.

Lots of Christmas dinners are my ultimate nightmare Once and one only,Christmas Day does me.I also feel that a lot of places just slap any old tat on your plate at this time Glad you are enjoying them though x:-) x:-) x:-)0

The ones I've had so far have been very good, but I know what you mean about some places. The test is whether they can cook sprouts without them being like hard bullets or overcooked and soggy. It's a fine art which many chefs have yet to master.0

That Christmas Vicar of Dibley, was the funniest things I have seen.
I loathe Christmas pudding with a passion, it is like compressed black lumpy horrors. Sponge pudding, well, that is a different thing altogether, last time we went out to lunch I had had enough really with the main course, then saw sticky toffee pudding on the specials, well, it was enough to feed a starved Navvy, I thought my chair would give way.
I digress
The Christmas lunches sound good, with proper sprouts and crispy roast tatties, cooked in goose fat, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmXX Aidan (still known as Bubbles).0 -
It's my works Christmas meal tomorrow at a pub........... x:-D

Don't have the traditional Christmas dinner when out (and had many in numerous places over the years!) because they never compare with that cooked by my OH............... x:-D x:-D''Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy''. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)0 -

Add greasy roast spuds bullet like sprouts and carrots topped with a watery gravy and a bread sauce you can see through and you have the perfect mass Xmas meal produced for about thruppence and sold for £30+.
Mustn't forget the vinegar like wine, the long wait for the stodge called pudding and appalling service.
I'd rather have fish and chips.
We must have eaten at the same places................. x:-x x:!:''Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy''. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)0 -

Forgot I've got Christmas meal number 6 tomorrow, but it will be an alternative one because it's being cooked by someone who is a vegan. Should be interesting.0
