Brother Blades Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Given the debacle on the PTTGOYN thread regarding mince pies etc, I thought a new thread would be appropriate. So, what is your favourite food & drink for the festive period? Mine are Sausage bacon wrap wrap Cranberry sauce -must be homemade Baileys with ice as a nightcap Full Scottish as a wake up call that you are going to need to expand that stomach. Pheasant as the starter- only had this once but was delicious. Good quality red wine. On a wider note, what does your Xmas day food & drink intake consist of? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 M&S Cherry liquers. Sadly no more for me as I don't dri.... Always enjoyed making Christmas dinner as it offered the opportuniy to piss off to the kitchen and get hammered for hours but going out for a meal this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Tried it with creme de menthe? No, but this may add an extra dimension to my festive alcoholism, is it good? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like drinking a liquid version of After Eights (with an extra kick). The Baileys goes green too. Fun for all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot after eights, but I prefer matchmakers (Orange) should really edit my OP to include these. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEADOWXI Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I would happy have a plate heaped with pigs in blankets, mashed tatties, roast tatties and gravy and not bother with anything else for my dinner........... OK maybe one wee slice of turkey and a bit of cranberry sauce to show festive spirit. But would happily spend the day with the following menu; Sausages wrapped in bacon aka pigs in blankets & red wine Roast tatties & white wine Cheese board & Port Red wine & chcocolates & Jelly babies Whisky & chocolates 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the day - prawn cocktail, soup, turkey etc with as many roast potatoes as possible, cheeseboard, stovies at night. Also, going out for Christmas dinner is Tory My folks went out for Christmas dinner once (Stirling, 1970s). The service was pretty slow and after a bit of racket from the kitchen the service ground to a halt. The staff had walked out on strike. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the festive food & drink! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1994 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I'm also going out for Christmas Dinner this year. First time I have ever done it. Totally dreading the whole experience, It is bad enough spending the day with your own family, that you ignore for the rest of the year, never mind spending it with a bunch of other cunting families. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Turkey is shite so get that to f**k. A nice big ham is the way to go. A lovely big salmon is also desirable. Obviously pigs in blankets are a must, and anyone who dislikes them is a horse rapist and smells of hammers. The same applies to roast tatties, although they have to be done well, with a nice crispy out coating but lovely and fluffy inside. Soggy efforts with hard bits of potato under the limp skin should see the perpetrator face jail time. The size of them is important here, as is the cooking method and the medium. Good shout on a cheesboard; it's a must, but the timing is crucial. It can't be right after the dessert; instead it should be later in the evening. Suitable biscuits and crackers should be served with it. There should be a good selection of cheese, not just numerous cheddars. Talking of desserts, traditional christmas pudding is rank, and has no place at a table. It's also far too heavy after what is probably a substantial meal, especially if it's saturated in spirits. A spot of zingy, palate cleansing sorbet is what you're after here. Or an orange Callipo. I'm not a wine drinker (wine is shite), so if partaking in alcohol it will be beer for me. A nice light refreshing beer is what is needed for dining, so a tasty sharp IPA is the perfect companion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Rib of beef here. Pure indulgence as kids would happily eat beans on toast lol No turkey, Christmas cake, Christmas pudding or mince pies in this house. #nobeasts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
