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: |

If you want to include New Year dishes, then the Japanese have a special species of octopus, the head being about the size of a golf ball, the tentacles about 4cm long, boiled in broth, eaten whole. The inside of the head has the texture of compressed, firm roe. Utterly, utterly disgusting.

Re: Christmas foods
Sloe gin! the only gin I drink, Christmas morning about 9 am I pour 1 by 10 am I'm normally well oiled :thumbsup:
I am one of those people that love the run up to Christmas but despise Christmas day, alcohol gets me through it- love boxing day though, champagne is my choice of poison for that day. |
Re: Christmas foods
By the way - if anyone has one of those big round kettle-style barbecue jobbies (Weber make the best ones), they produce a superb turkey (rather than the traditional roast-in-the-oven method). Much quicker, and more evenly cooked throughout, and always moist. :thumbup:

Re: Christmas foods
We tasted so many mince pies that I never want to see one again and I still feel a bit sick.
This snap from part way through, with several still to go. http://i48.tinypic.com/2rz4cqp.jpg The show will be repeated on Christmas Day if you missed me saying that most were horrible! |
Re: Christmas foods
I love all things Marks and Spencers at Christmas, it's fool proof - everything goes into the oven or microwave, no stress and tastes delicious.
Nibbles before meal - crusty rolls, milano salami, parma ham, roast tomatoes, crisps and olives. To start - prawn cocktail and salmon terrine Main Course - turkey crown, cauliflower cheese, roast and mashed potatoes and gravy Dessert - Roulade or some form of chocolate cake Best of all I still love getting a proper Christmas selection box and making myself sick throughout the day by working my way through it. |

You swine. We can't buy M&S fresh foods here.
I arrived in Glasgow last night and am not ashamed to say that I was one of the first customers into the shop this morning at 7.00 am. My love affair with M and S has recommenced - bring it on!!! |
