    Is that shish kebab or dog turd in the pastry lattice? Nice plate of food otherwise. 
    My Brother in Law is veggie, so its a Vegan Beef Wellington

    It was huge, and looked really good so wanted to try a bit - Was really nice too actually.

    Considerably more colour than I was expecting given the table pic.

    Story behind mine: gf's in Ireland and my parents are both sick with RSV, so family Xmas was cancelled and I've had to perform a solo effort. Grey mullet with a West African style stuffing and a bacon wrap, with sprouts fried in butter and spiced cassava roasties. Given I've not had to do this much before, I hope it passes muster! Now to tuck in...

    Rufus's version. He wolfed it and went back for more spuds and brocolli

    Hope the spare placemat was solely a place to put the wine glasses and not someone looking to nick off to a plate of meat elsewhere, or any other reason. 

    Hope the spare place at was just there to put the glasses on before filling them and not someone looking to nick off for a plate of meat somewhere or for any other reason not available. 
    Only a shame the cat seems to have pissed on the veggie roast.

    Plenty of Turkey and Gammon hidden underneath and even managed to scrounge some of my mother's stuffing.
     Points for finding a plate strong enough to handle the sheer weight of this.
    15p for a bag of Veg these days and it looks like you've got £25 quids worth on there!!
    Finding room for a chunk of the earth's core is also highly impressive.

    Some of the above look creditable compared to this effort which I was forced to buy at the pub local to girlfriends daughter in Lancaster. Given how much it cost me for 6 people I wish I'd insisted on cooking although admittedly then a choice of turkey (mine), beef, or celeriac steaks may have been pushing it.
     


    No red cabbage either. 
    Is that a pat of butter floating in the gravy?
  • Late dinner today,but well worth the wait.

    I normally draw the line at Yorkshire puddings. But potato waffles!
    Come on.

    Sliced tomahawk steak with parsnips, broccoli, carrots and toasties plus a smear of mustard. Fab.

    A whole cassava! Not a very big one. Probably still too much. Eh who cares, it's banging

    Haddock goujons instead of meat today 
      I use the term loosely, but the chef did know it was Christmas, right?

    It was fermented donkey jizz that you keep going year after year like sourdough starter?

    Pre Gravy

    Pile on - I’m thick skinned 
    Let’s hope the gravy was too to attack those 3 bread rolls bottom left

    Stu please tell me this was served on a saucer and isn’t what appears to be the biggest plate of food ever?

    No wonder you never needed a Covid jab with half the food industry fighting for you…

    Do I hear applause? Where and when do I collect my prize? 😉
    Yeah. Applause for just chucking food wherever you fancy.


    Actually a fair comment as the kitchen had 'too many cooks' helping dish up today!
