It will be our traditional Christmas dinner.
Bacon sandwiches.

We will be having the traditional meal, but on Christmas Eve evening (then another one on Boxing Day at my parents). The bacon sandwiches came from when the kids were younger, Santa was real, and neither I nor Mrs.Pm fancied being in the kitchen all morning cooking something the kids weren't really bothered with and too excited to sit down for. Just find it a better way of spending the day together.

I cooked a big goose on Saturday for a portion of my displaced but gathered now family. With all the trimmings; struggled with oven space but went ok and the yorkshires rose. Did the goose with a big standard 190 fan oven 3 1/2 hour roast, decanted the fat twice. Next time I'll do something to keep the breast moister and the sticky out bits too. Probably a bit of baste and foil.
For my Christmas day meal I'm not at work for 1st time on a decade so will have a turkey dinner at the in laws.

I'm having a bloated marmoset stuffed with juniper berries and unborn kangaroos. Heston said it was yummy.

I'm an arkward vegetarian so we usually have some kind of tart like stilton and cranberry or something like that. No one likes sprouts but we all have an honorary sprout which the dog gets with the leftovers!

Is that somewhere between vegan and vegetarian?

 

[Crackle]

I'm leaning toward a rack of lamb.

[Cubist]

Rib of beef at cube towers, has been our trad dinner of choice for some years now. We used to have goose, but I find them very expensive and not much meat on them.

 

[AnythingButVanilla]

I don't think I've ever eaten goose. Is it nice?
