All veg apart from spuds need to be cooked but with minimum effort.

That's way too much effort for sprouts. In fact, all veg needs to be cooked in the easiest way possible. Bar potatoes, they need care, attention and concentration.

So tomorrow, for the benefit of the people of Dubai, I shall force myself to eat a load of mince pies. The sacrifices I make for my fellow man... *martyr face*


I am just doing a bit of 'research' in Christmas foods around the world and there are some odd dishes out there. Liver Casserole and Prune Soup in Finland (not together), Tripe Soup in Mexico, boiled green bananas with chicken gizzards in Puerto Rico. The Pinoys have their usual weird dishes. :huh:
