    Obviously I've been very honest and fair, and only shared constructive criticism of others, so please don't be rude. -


    Looks like the dog will be eating well tonight but what are you having?


  • My work rota is such that my week of nights starts tomorrow night until 2nd Jan. Due to the rail strikes I can’t get to my mums in Newbury for Christmas and as such covered the night shifts last night and tonight (triple pay). Leftover Chinese for me and I’m not even bothered. 

    One of the best so far to be honest.

    Sirloin steak with the usual set of vegetables and invisible gravy. Do your worst.

    How many are eating from that plate?
    Should've taken a picture of mine as it was piled a fair bit higher still. Surprised at how small some people's xmas dinners are! 
  • Went earlier to the Bickley arms. 
    That’s about the best I can say. I won’t be inflicting that experience on wife again.

    As a complete novice with the tools associated with a kitchen I was looking for some inspiration on this thread before my first attempt tomorrow at a Christmas dinner. Instead perhaps I can share my first attempt the other week at a Yorkshire pudding as inspiration to others, I’m tempted to cook one tomorrow which will probably mean it will die on it arse. 😂

    In Denmark that would be haute cuisine

    Ambient Xmas Table: tick
    Lovely of the Travel Lodge to let you hire a space in their reception for your Christmas lunch.
    Did you mean Radisson Blu? 😉

    Do your worst, it won't be hard. 
    I'm sure it tastes OK....
     Looks like it was thrown on your plate.
    .....From the kitchen of the house over the road?

    That carrot really concerns me

    Yorkshire went south but happy otherwise. There’s some turkey and gammon in there somewhere. 
    Did you cook or cremate that Yorkshire pudding?

    The scrambled eggs on the side are a bit weird.

    Some of these comments are hilarious!  I love this thread!

    It actually tasted pretty good (admittedly the photo doesn't really do it justice!).  The reindeer/Santa shite is actually boiled red cabbage and dates.  Some of the potatoes are "caramelised" in brown sugar which it what gives them their shiny appearance.  Meat is Duck and Pork.  Not as dry as it looks.  My favourite part has to be the ready salted crisps (see top right).  Plate is a family heirloom apparently.

    Ignore them haters.
    Plenty of potatoes on my Danish Xmas plate too. Hasselbach and caramelised. Accompanied by red cabbage, sweet onions, crisps, gravy and a scotch fillet (sorry, couldn’t be bothered with duck this year).

    The meat is dryer than my Nan after being widowed for twenty years 
    Sounds like you’re very close to your nan.

    Never thought of having roadkill as a Christmas meat! 
    Interesting idea…

    If your jazz is lumpy like that, I'd recommend a trip to the doctors.

    Probably better to go to a composer for lumpy jazz

    Venison shank.  Strange angle of the pic due to the shadow of the phone if I took from above makes the potatoes look like huge boulders. Crispy bacon round sausage meat looks burnt but wasn’t!

    Would be a lot better if you served it on a plate instead of a festive serviette

    Mine doesn't look like much, presentation-wise, but it's the best Xmas Dinner I've ever had. Because of all the Xmas Dinners I've had, none before today have been driven from Lewisham to Barnet for me while I've been suffering from a severe throat and ear infection. Cheers Mum (and Dad), you really knocked this one out of the park. Least I could do was eat (most of) it straight out of the ridiculous dish you brought it in x 

    Nice gesture- looks pretty decent even without being able to plate it up. Good effort all round.

    How long did it take to microwave that old pair of Gazelles?

    There’s so much pork, even a carrot has got piles.
