| Merry Christmas! |
Yo ho ho! We've reached Christmas day, and here's our dinner table looking lovely and festive.
We had a simple starter (to ensure maximum space for the next three courses). We wrapped wedges of a super-ripe Galia melon in some wafer-thin Parma ham, and served them alongside a sprinkling of lettuce and Parmesan. One melon served all seven of us perfectly.
Cheers!
We don't ever have turkey at Christmas, because nobody really likes it. (Do you? Be honest. I'm convinced turkey is the chicken's poor cousin, and people just tolerate it at Christmas.) This year we had a rib of beef from the local butcher, plus a million and one Yorkshire puddings. Yes please.
My mum roasts her potatoes in lard, which makes them taste unbelievable. None of this new-fangled olive oil nonsense round our way.
If you care to count (and why wouldn't you?), you'd discover there are nine different types of vegetable on that plate. Because that's how we roll at Christmas time.
