Yep, Jerry, they're excellent! Did you try the goose to go with them?Originally Posted by Covenant
Honestly, roast goose is *the* best thing you can have for Christmas day. It knocks bland, boring, turkey (even the best free-range stuff) into a cocked hat!!
All you need to do is use a decent butcher and order it well in advance... We usually order ours at the end of September!

We normally go for a capon but couldn't get one this year so just a boring turkey. Did Jamies roast veg as well. He knows his stuff that lad.
This xmas dinner was much better than the last few years 'cos my wife cooked it instead of us going to the in-laws who dont believe in experimenting at all.
Anyway we are about to sit ten people down today to beef in beer with sweet potato chips. My job is to stack the chips up in a vertical lattice.

Haha... Love it!
I hope your meal goes well for you - sounds nice.
Do try a goose next year; honestly it'll blow your mind (if it's cooked properly with all the fat rendered down) and you'll never eat turkey again!
Historically, goose is the (genuinely) traditional meat to eat on Christmas day in Britain - turkey is a bloody American 'invention'!
Del's posting her recipe for the perfect roast goose later for anyone who'd like to try it

As my wife keeps reminding me, I am now officially obese - the damage having been done since 1st Jan 2008 when I quit the ciggies - 4 stone later, I need to do something!
So, no more treats, and lots of healthy meals - Sue made a great impromptu meal last night - Sea Bass with a mature cheddar tomato, herb, garlic and caper crust (as simple as it sounds - put some chopped tinned tomatoes on the fish fillets, grate some bread on top mixed with a small amount of mature cheddar cheese and garlic, sprinkle with herbs and add some capers. Served with a vegetable medley of leaks, broccoli and carrots in the rest of the tinned tomatoes.) Lovely!
Tonight, one of the worlds quickest but scrummiest dinners - smoked haddock with poached eggs - is there anything more lovely than a soft poached egg? Yum!

Well I lost 4lb in my first week, so that's a good start - going to cut down the alcohol this week, then try and get out on my bike a bit as the evenings get lighter...

Right then!
Everything about this post is wrong wrong wrong!
I'm not a big chocolate eater - despite all evidence to the contrary (not least the fact that my x-axis has been growing well out of proportion to my y-axis since I was about 17), I don't have a particularly sweet tooth.
I drink tea every now & then, but I prefer very strong black coffee. If I do drink tea, then my preference is for Assam - I don't like all that flowery flavoured nonsense.
This thread is about recipes & I haven't got a recipe for you.
However, you must try this. It's a Belgian Earl Grey flavoured chocolate and it is just fantastic.
It's a strong dark chocolate, minimum 55% cocoa content (bejeeeezus!)
The flavours go together so well & so subtly the result is just indescribable.

We got it in a Booth's supermarket - one of the real pleasures of living in the northwest of England is the privilage of being able to use this place to shop in!
