Love - Satsumas (Cannot stop eating them)
Loathe - Brussel Sprouts (The thought of them makes me wanna heave)

    Love - Just about all of it

    Sprouts are great if not over done, Christmas pud, yummy,

    Bucks Fizz with Smoked Salmon for breakie, a roast with all the trimmings, yorkshire pudding, stuffing yum yum yum

    And a bowl of nuts plus some quality street.

    Love christmas pud - especially the one my mother in law makes.

    Hate - not a big fan of sausages wrapped in bacon. They are fine individually but is definately a case of the whole being less than the sum of it's parts.

    Love: most things about Christmas grub, but carving chunks of hot boiled bacon I'd kill for, Mmmmmm

    Hate: staring at the leftovers in the Mother-in-Laws moustache turns my stomach.

    love - cold meat, mash & pickles that can last all boxing day.

    hate - the enormous xmas day dinner (size, not the actual dinner) that disrupts xmas drinking for a couple of hours.

    love - real brandy butter made with butter, brandy and icing sugar
    loathe - turkey (this was when I used to eat meat)

    Loathe- The general glutony and false festivity. However, on an immediate basis- Turkey- not good!

    Also and increasingly with age- the expectation that after stuffing your face on Xmas day that we have to do it all again the next day..

    Love- most meals prepared with care and interest. Nut roasts- brisket of beef, port soaked Stilton, Xmas pudding ice cream (A really labour intensive one) to name but a few.






    Bah bloody humbug....

    I did the chestnut pan last year DA9 - stuck it on the coals of the open fire. Picked it out of the fire and put it on it's little holder which it burnt through, shit myself and picked it up with an oven glove which it also burnt through dumped it in the cold sink then put it all in the bin! But love roast chestnuts with salt.

    Love - Christmas dinner. Cold meats pickles and chips in our house on Boxing Day. Satsumas. Smoked Salmon. Stuffing my face with christmas buffet food throughout the day. generally being a gluttonous beast
    Hate - Over done Sprouts, Christmas pudding and the inlaws that try to modernise Christmas Dinner... for god sake leave it alone. Inlaws who don't eat again after the Christmas dinner, forcing me to steal food and leftovers form their fridge

    Love: Turkey, Sausages in Bacon, stuffing, mmmmmmmmm salivating as I write.

    Hate: Sprouts, uuuuuuuurgh the devils own snot balls, the very thought is making me heave!!!
    Mince Pies, used to love em, but Mum made a few hundred one Christmas when I was about ten, for a family gathering that never happened. So between
    us we stuffed the lot. I was so ill after, just the smell of them now now makes me want to chuck.

    Only got the gas hob to do them with, how long do you recommend?

    Someone else told me you should cut the top and tail off first or score them with a criss cross?


    ps....anyone who does not like sprouts should be banned from having Christmas IMO

    DA9 - Yeah pierce the outside bit otherwise they have a habit of expoloding an covering the room in Chestnuts, and it bloody hurts if you're in the firing line! Cut them in a cross and when they are cooked the shell bit opens up a bit.

    I'll have to go find a vendor for some, anyone know of where there are any based?
