Christmas Dinner 2019

Recommended Posts

What are the trends for the festive Dinner this coming Christmas?


I?m personally not cooking this time, but I?m pleased to know someone else is. I?m a guest not a host this year. Plus my kids are pretty grown up now, so it?s not as full on as it once was.


In the past I?ve cooked Goose, Hams, Cockerel and of course Turkey. I?m glad to have done it, but I?ve made life simpler over the years, cutting down on the sheer volume of food.


However, I?ll probably cook a couple of light lunch/ dinners for the days in between, only I?m undecided on just what to cook. I wonder what you?re cooking or making at home in preparation for the Christmas holiday.


Are you going out, to a restaurant. Staying home, or getting out or away.

What are you making and what are you buying. Are you going full-on-with-all-the-trimmings. Veg or Vegan, Dairy or gluten free, or pescatarian even.


Or maybe going off plan and doing something completely different?

Christmas is an abstract/confused concept. What are you celebrating? The solstice? Or the supposed birth of a prophet/messiah etc? Or just the melding of everything that has turned out for some to be the only day the family get together (I find funerals are better in that respect, more jolly and less bad feeling).


Bah humbug.


Remember a dog is not just for Christmas, you can have it cold on boxing day, curry it after that and then use the bones for stock

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
