Vlad the Fox Posted 23 December 2014 Posted 23 December 2014 To compliment the Christmas dinner thread here's the Christmas Eve equivalent. Essentials. Gammon joint, boiled and glazed Small roasts, seasoned and roasted with garlic and orange zest pork pie Stilton Pigs in blankets, it's Christmas get them whenever you can Pickled onions Gerkins Piccalilli Homemade apple chutney Mayonnaise Home made mince pies served warm with brandy cream sauce. Where possible all produce purchased from local butchers. Can take it or leave it. Mini Sausage rolls, no need here Pickled cabbage No f*#%ing way Cheap supermarket party snacks I will also be indulging in Pringles and quality street.
