What are you having for the main Xmas meal?

[Saladin]

For breakfast
Swedish rice pudding with cinnamon


For lunch/dinner
Christmas ham
Pickled herring
Potatoes
Sausages
Beetroot salad
Wortbread
Scanian mustard


And I'll be drinking christmas beer from
a brewery in Gotland and the swedish
equivalent for rootbeer (julmust).

[Sheilbh]

Smoked salmon themed starter.
Turkey and ham with all the traditional trimmings.
Christmas sherry trifle and Christmas cake/pudding (not sure yet).

Can't wait

Gotta include parmesan, ricotta, mozzarella and maybe provolone if you're being comprehensive.

Personally, I like munster, but I wouldn't claim that it's one of the more popular cheeses here.  My stepfather used to eat Limberger--man, did that stuff stink.

[Ideologue]

Grits and eggs.  They're probably fixing some other stuff that I won't eat.  But maybe pancakes.

We eat breakfast.

[Scipio]

Apparently, I am roasting a previously unaccounted-for chicken.

[CountDeMoney]

Bet it's news to the chicken, too.

[Scipio]

Bet it's news to the chicken, too.

I broke it to the bird gently.  The good news for him is that no one is smoking him, unlike the pork butt.  Which has been cooling its heels in the fridge enrubbed for a day, and starts smoking tomorrow morning at about half-past the ass-crack of dawn.

Christmas dinner for me and Princesca: planned.

Main course:

turkey
sage and onion stuffing
roast potatoes
roasted sprouts
bread sauce

Dessert:

Christmas pudding
brandy butter

We'll have the usual shit at her family's house... this is just for us, probably the next night.  I'll probably make it all since she has to work that day and I don't.

This got put off till tomorrow night or Saturday.  I just made the brandy butter.  Delicious.

Marbas: My wife says your Christmas feast sounds delicious except for the herring salad. I believe her exact words were "gross, what the fuck." I am inclined to agree.

We had:

Beer glazed ham
Mustard greens (Freshly picked that day)
Peas (likewise)
Mashed potatoes (likewise)
Corn
Cornbread
Peach cobbler
Wine
Eggnog

[Jaron]

You picked mashed potatoes fresh?

[Fireblade]

Well, I had to cut them up, boil them, and then mash them, but yes.

Wow. No wonder you are so fat.

Christmas dinner and pudding: consumed.  My meal was a GREAT SUCCESS, especially the pudding.  I couldn't keep the damn thing lit long enough to take a nice picture of it, though.

Also, Princesca refused to sing "Rule, Britannia!" while I was lighting the pudding so I had to pull it up on on YouTube via my tablet PC.

[Ed Anger]

She should have smacked you.

[Caliga]

She thinks it's cute when I do stuff like this.
