It's 9:55am. Come on awimb let's get it going? though I suppose most people are actually working
There's nothing interesting happening in football. The best stories are in politics right now and
I'm trying to avoid those for fear of driving Jorge away again.
How about general topics? my specialty. How about a final Christmas thread.
What items make up Christmas dinner in your house?
Again open to people who have Christmas dinner. but don't wish to exclude any other religions, races, apollo creeds, satinists, homeless etc.
Can we please not talk about christmas dinner?
The horror of that turkey will live with me for years.
How big was it? How long did it take to get the stink out of your nostrils?
It was small, about 5kg. The suggested cooking time was 3 1/2 hours, so
I cooked it for 2 1/2 hours, and it was as dry as a nun's c**t. :cry:
I haven't smelt anything since 1986, by the way.
We did the Tom K rolled with stuffing inside covered in cling film and placed over boiling water
3rd yr we have donme it like this and tastes bloody lovely
That's one of the things I hate about turkey. It smells unpleasant. And it tastes either of nothing
or actively unpleasant.
Generally speaking, it should f**k off.
Nothing, I say NOTHING, will keep me from my goose next year.
Goose is nice, but you need at least two to feed four people properly.
I must admit, I've never done better than Raymond's recipe where he confits the legs as well. Do you still do that?
I get two large geese usually; one feeds six and the other is left for sandwiches the next day.
I don't f**k about with them; prick skin, boiling water, salt and five spice, roast to medium-rare. :cloud9:
I once got what I thought was a large goose. It just about fed four people with no seconds.
I'm not sure I hold with goose sandwiches. It sounds wrong. http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/ohwell.gif
Best sandwich ever. There are people in this house inclined to riot at the suggestion
of no goose sandwiches.
Your large goose can't have been a large goose tbh.
A man in Cockermouth charged me 65 quid for it. How big does that sound?
I don't know about Cockermouth pricing, obviously, but I pay about 110 - 120 per bird.
This may explain it. Mind you, I ordered the size that Raymond reckoned would feed six.
Clearly, Raymond is a tightarse when it comes to portions.
