sphericalfox Posted 24 December 2016 Share Posted 24 December 2016 I once had my (to be in-laws) over from France one Christmas. I slaved in a smallish kitchen with little equipment, and served up my best efforts on a small round table. It had the works, stuffing, yorks puds, roasted veg, mash & roasties, and a decent gravy. Turns out the worst insult to a French man is to plate everything, and pour gravy on it. They've not been back for Yuletide since that significant culinary faux pas.

jonthefox Posted 24 December 2016 Share Posted 24 December 2016 I went shopping on Thursday. I grumbled all the way to the car after spending £180 . I loaded the car and a nagging feeling came over me that I'd forgotten something. I had , a turkey. So I went back in and blew another £32.

Barky Posted 24 December 2016 Share Posted 24 December 2016 So you went to click and collect but upon arriving realised you hadn't actually clicked and so had nothing to collect. Then, instead of going into the store you were already at and simply doing the shopping yourself, you drove home and resigned yourself to eating porridge?

I was actually convinced the money had been taken already so had to go and check I had paid a £30 deposit but will get that back , then I went to Sainsbury's and got it all and some more and actually saved £40 disaster averted and now I have enough for a bet on St Stephens Day result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costock_Fox Posted 24 December 2016 Share Posted 24 December 2016 I could be adding a few bits to this tomorrow, cooking for 5 people and making/ made my own stuffing, red cabbage, gravy, starter and a pork pie to go with cheese and Port in the evening. What could possibly go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 24 December 2016 Share Posted 24 December 2016 I've done in half a pork pie on my own today, it was only a cheap one though. Got a Walker's pie for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaelicFox Posted 24 December 2016 Author Share Posted 24 December 2016 Bread sauce and cranberry for me .. gravy is foul offensive and totally not needed on a good dinner ... it's just watery brown sauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell sprout Posted 24 December 2016 Share Posted 24 December 2016 A few years back we had a turkey,on xmas eve the fridge stank,so no xmas meat, until we decided that when ordering a chinky on xmas eve,that it was our only option for meat, So brought two big Chinese chickens to go with our xmas dinner, desperate times and all that....

Costock_Fox Posted 25 December 2016 Share Posted 25 December 2016 The only disaster was I had cooked enough for 10. When you have eaten so much you genuinely consider bulemia you know it's gone a bit wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
