    That would be cooked already. I knew somehow who regularly ate 'raw' white pudding with no ill effects.

    White and black pudding is cooked in boiling water before going on sale.

    Sausage is raw pork, it should be cooked before being eaten - probably ok but why risk it.

    Went swimmingly. Especially my Gordon Ramsey inspired roast potatoes. Fúcking good potatoes, as he would say himself.

    Did you carve the potatoes into the shape of Ramsey’s head or sommit?

    Probably sick of dealing with the one person on a fad diet.

    Fad diet? I've been a vegetarian for over ten years.

    Found a bottle of poitín in the press when my Nan was looking for old brandy. Made a batch of poitín coffees but only me and my 80 year old grandad had any; he had four of them and was absolutely battered.

    Half way through dinner he jabbed a finger at me and said “you wouldn’t get spuds as good as them over in London would ya? Despite all your fancy f*ckin’ clothes.”

    Legend of a man, love him.

    It's no more a 'fad diet' than my penchant for eating dead birds and pigs.

    I had dinner at the in laws ... soggy brussel sprouts and boiled potatoes. I mean boiled potatoes for Christmas dinner, wtf! Then had to look at pics from my siblings of my moms roasties, pigs in blankets and stuffing I could eat forever. Not best pleased. I’m bloody starving now.

    ENTIRELY focused on the kids for Xmas day. Everything else was ignored and put to the side. With the effect that I realised about 20 minutes before I required it that I had forgotten to take the meat and other things out of the freezer entirely.

    So Christmas day was today, Christmas Dinner is tomorrow now :) Today was pankcakes with a mix of fillings of their choice. Ham, cheeses, salmon, nutella and so forth.

    Went out to a hotel for dinner. Only disaster was my choice of wine for the table. It was a bit mank. Note: don't offer to pick the wine while trying to spoon feed a baby. Food was yummy though :) definitely doing the same next year!

    Went to sister in laws, her turn this year. No stuffing, no roasties, sloppy mash with no herbs or seasoning, mushy brocolli, tinned peas. I'm no food snob but Jesus H.

    Even grimmer, bloody hell. You have to wonder what they eat for the rest of the year.

    He asked me to carry in two sacks of coal today and I says “hold on two seconds I’ve good jeans on let me throw on those overalls”.

    He was muttering curses and shaking his head walking into the shed.

    “Soft as sh*t he’s gone...”

    I burned the ham in the oven (I turned the temp up too high) but a quick marinade made up on the hop with maple syrup, brown sugar and cider and I accidently created one of those weird pulled pork things they make in America - ended up being the best bit of the dinner! We're here eating pulled pork baps for tea :p

    Years ago in the middle of making Christmas dinner, at the critical time just before plating up, the door fell off the fridge, four litres of milk and a load of glass jars smashed on to the tiles. The door falling off was probably something to do with the weight of the milk and all the jars!

    What is it with people cooking veg til it practically disintegrates.

    Brit thing; that and croquettes. They go mad for them over there. Skinny sausages wrapped in rashers and thrown into the roasting ditch for the last half hour. They’re tasty enough like but don’t get the hype.

    Eating dinner now, one of those microwavable turkey dinners. Added my own touch to it and put some brussel sprouts in. 5 minutes and done.

    Harps back to the days when all people had to cook with was one pot hanging over the fire. All food essentially became soup! :(
    You'd think people would have copped on since though!
