    I don't eat turkey too often, look forward to having it at this time of the year.

    Would choose turkey, roast potatoes and loads of stuffing. Perfect christmas dinner :)

    If that were the case, I'd be singing "I wish it could be Christmas every day" all the time.

    Plus pork stuffing
    Plus herb stuffing
    Plus gravy over everything

    Followed by a world-class cheese course, and then mince pies and ice-cream.

    Washed down with mulled wine, and then later a few bottles of Chimay White.

    And a joint.

    If we get passed the problem that I'd like the traditional dinner, I'd have to say turkey curry, with bombay aloo (spiced/curried spuds) and a few Tiger beers. Might see if I can make some with the leftover turkey, and the exta one we picked up in Tescos for a tenner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,654 ✭✭✭cruiser178


    Feck the turkey, but give me the bacon and yorkshire puddings any day.
    Left over bacon mixed with a curry sauce ftw.

    Add Spiced Beef from Cork to that mix.
    I also require TK Red Lemonade. Used to be Tanora.
    Also need mayonnaise for obligatory turkey and stuffing sandwiches.
    And maybe a Toblerone. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 431 ✭✭punkindrublic


    Just a nice pasta dish with salad too!

    Haha, my dad makes an awesome turkey curry every Steven's day, it's great as it breaks up the monotony of the same food each day over the xmas :D

    Ice cold Tanora is awesome for a hangover.

    Also I have a friend who moved to Cork from Tipp, but he always goes back home for Christmas so he never had spiced beef before. It's fu[url][/url]cking expensive stuff, but I got him some for Christmas. The bollix better appreciate it.

    My ole fella will do the same, but not on Stephen's day but a few days later. Then he'll freeze it and bring it out in the summer when we haven't had turkey for yonks.

    Creamy mashed potatoes with Yorkshire puds dowsed in gravy would be my ideal dinner. I'll be serving Turkey, Ham,.Stuffing, mashed carrots & parnips, roast potatoes, creamy mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, peas, etc. tomorrow for my missus & kids.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,507 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    Why isn't spiced beef popular in Dublin?

    Because they're culinary philistines.

    Id love spicy red pepper soup and venison for dinner.
    no vegetables thanks.
    no deserts either

    please and thank you

    Nice to see that the majority seem to be going for the traditional Xmas dinner. This kind of thread appears on all sorts of forums every year. Usually most of the responses seem to be from food snobs and Sainsburys food add writers.
    Oh one is sick of the monotony of having turkey all the time. This year one has gone for a Norfolk wild fowl, stuffed with a rosemary and basil blah with a lightly glazed roast legume and a blah blah sauce blah blah blah

    FFS. Yeah the terrible monotony of eating something once every 365 days :rolleyes:

    Big mofo of a Turkey.
    Pale Ham
    Smoked Ham
    Mashed Potato
    Roast Potato
    Sprouts
    Carrots
    Celery
    Tonnes of Thyme and Parsley Stuffing(breadcrumbs and Sausage meat)
    and Litres and Litres of yummy gravy

    Bit of Christmas cake
    Bit of Christmas Pud
    Banana Boat

    Open belt, button and fly

    and slump in the couch watching telly with all the family with everyone farting in chorus.

    I ****ing love Christmas Day!!

    :D:D
