Stupid ipad always makes silly corrections sometimes incredibly embarrassing ones!
Oh for a butler on Christmas Day, though a chef I could shout at might be better

If it was a prune, rather than a date, they would be called "Devils on Horseback".

I believe some Romanians are rather partial to Swan, worth a try, maybe you could have a word with Her Majesty.

@Brandane Appletons. Yum. I bought a presentation gift pack for myself last year that came with a copper tankard for the same price as just the bottle.
As for food, I'll be away at work this year
When I'm at home the traditional lunch is bacon sandwiches, it came about when kids were younger and we wanted to spend time with them and presents rather than one of us spending the morning cooking something that there was a limited interest in. We do Christmas dinner as an evening meal on Christmas Eve - which seems to be a continental thing anyway. Usually mother in laws later on Christmas Day for a buffet and my Mothers on Boxing day for whatever roast she has cooked.

They don't seem to do as good bargains as they used to, we used to do a raid on the supermarket to get what ever bargains they had but haven't had a brilliant bargin now for a while.

It's been rib of beef chez Cube for the last few years. Given the price of beef we tend to go for pork or brisket as a Sunday dinner and for me a decent rib is the best cut there is, so for Christmas dinner it's a real treat. We have had goose in the past, but it's massively expensive for not much meat, turkey is dull nonsense and you'd need about three ducks to feed our usual gathering. Mrs Cube wants to try the 3 bird roast thing, but again, game is pretty standard fare in season- I have three brace of partridge in the garage right now.

I will always remember meeting a drunk fella on the high street in Beckenham (where I once lived) on Christmas Eve at about 5pm... asking randomly if anyone knew where he could get a *feckin* turkey,,, (shops had just shut)... 'the wife's gonna *feckin' kill me' quoth he.

Not keen on turkey myself, the meat is too dry. Much prefer wild boar, lovely!
