You absolutely fucking tremendous cunt, come and cook my Christmas dinner will ya?

 

I was actually planning to do a leg of lamb this year. We have my folks coming and on Boxing Day we go to the in-laws for the full traditional dinner, so thought I'd mix it up. I got a look of horror from my Mum so now I'm doing turkey.

 

I did make a tagine with the leg of lamb I'd bought and stuck in the freezer, so there is that. It was the most tender meat I've ever cooked, absolutely sensational. I did it with some spiced and roasted beetroot, which were sweet and sticky and divine. Thanks Mum!

That sounds amazing!

Cooked in a tagine or just in a pot. I don't own a tagine and want to know if it makes a difference to the cooking?

In a tagine (although I had to debone the leg to make it fit). It's effectively a slow cooker, with the advantage that it can be used on the hob or in the oven, which is helpful for thickening sauces up. I was bought ours as a gift, I don't use it that often but I do like it and it's a nice thing to put in the middle of the table for serving. We also have a (now quite old and in need of replacing) Dutch oven and to be honest, we probably don't need both. I'd say a decent Dutch oven would be just as good and more multifunctional.

Mono sodium glutamate can fuck off and die, I've never felt so ill.

 

4 times Inn my life I've had food poisoning and 3 of those followed a Chinese meal.

 

Never again, I mean it, never ever again.

I like the look of Col's mash there.

Can't stand carrot batons or rounds just plain. They have to be roasted or sautéed with a few herbs at least.

Odd. 

 

What about cut into cubes and served mixed with peas, or ever also with sweetcorn?

At a push. Just not a carrot fan particularly.

I notice that the MasterChef final is on, and the green groper is in it.

Delighted for Uncle Fester. He has had a hard life by all accounts and seems a lovely lad.

His food was outstanding throughout, came across as a real decent bloke too. 
 

Was made up for him.

Probably a Chelsea player’s wife. They all live about 5 miles from us in the big posh gated estates.

Pretty much all the supermarkets drop their veg prices at Christmas.

"Pukka Pie" potato leek and cheese. Part-steamed the veg then did them with herbs and butter. Chicken gravy obvs. The pie isn't burnt, it's well done. 

[Stouffer]

Looks a good thick gravy that, real thick.
