Christmas Tree 4729 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Ahem Christmas Dinner. I had great fun making this today. A very Jamie Oliver inspired occasion as I got the daughter to make Jamie's mince pies (which were to die for). Jamie's best ever roasts potatoes (using the masher to squeeze them halfway through cooking) Turkey packed with citrus infused butter under the skin and served the way he does it. (Breasts taken off whole, sliced and covered in a few spoons of gravy. Complimented with a tray of roast parsnips and carrots and Pancetta sprouts. And joking and piss takes aside, a big Christmas thank you to all of you who have helped teach a hopeless case how to cook over the last few years!!!

Howmanheyman 33270 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Can you put a few more photos up, CT? I'm not sure there's enough on for me to visualise your cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15552 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I'd forgotten about that post! "Oh Jamie. Squeeze my spuds, Jamie. The way you do it is to die for, Jamie." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21961 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) I've decided on tossing the sprouts (along with some carrots, which will hopefully mask their favour a bit) in flour and parmesan and roasting off in the oven. Going to do a potato dauphinois as well plus a cream of parsnip soup to start. Got a massive cheese board from borough market for late doors too so it's looking like a nice day of light eating Edited December 22, 2015 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had you down as the religious sort. BTW, who really likes pancakes? It's like turkey for me. If they were any good, you'd have them more than once a year.

If they were any good, you'd have them more than once a year. Someone introduced me to savoury pancakes a few years back; goats cheese, bacon and spinach. Lovely but like you said, the pancake bit is ... meh It's just a bland accompaniment to the stuff that actually tastes nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15552 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I use turkey mince but aye, you'd never pick turkey as your roast of choice outside of Christmas. As for pancakes, I'll have them very occasionally during the year but I agree they're a bit crêpe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had a crepe the other day (not a euphemism) as I took my eldest to the Kaspa's after going to the Discovery Museum and didn't want four litres of ice cream. Fish is right though.

Gemmill 44986 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 I did that for a while, but it's canny pricey tbh. In the end I got sick of having to stand and cook from scratch for several nights in a row to avoid stuff going off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
