Same here, a couple on my plate will be fine.

I'd like a nice bottle of wolf blass to go with mine.

Think OH and I are weird as we LOVE sprouts. 4yo hates them but for the first time ever, our 3yo ate some on Sunday night and loved them. She was puking everywhere on Monday though so I'm not sure she'll ever eat them again now though

As for wine. Gotta agree with Bordy, a nic glass of Wolf Blass never goes wrong. Also got some nice champers for this year too

No not weird.... I love sprouts as well, especially christmas dinner when there smothered in bread sauce....yum
Were having a buffet this year round my sister in laws house,there,s 26 people coming ,so a full roastie might have been abit stressful.Instead we are having fajitas, curries ,chilli and various other dishes!
A nice Pinot for me christmas day to wash it all down with

Just to get this back on track about w(h)ine and not wine there is of course the other old one about how can you tell a plane recently landed in Australia is full of Poms? The whining doesn't stop when the engines shutdown.

No offence intended of course!

As I said, a real old 'un mate! I knew you had a cradle because you did say you were once in the INFANTry.
