    Ordering pigs in blankets is definitely not a problem, first world or otherwise.

    I know what you’re saying but I agree with @Keighley. I picked up a handmade Brockleby’s Pork Pie from Melton food market at the weekend and it was absolutely transcendent. Crisp, flavoursome pastry, hand formed in the a process as old as time which housed a course and heavily seasoned, almost terrine like porky filling.

    And @HappyHornet24 I didn’t mean to insinuate that your turkey would be dry, I’m sure you cook a lovely bird. In my experience turkey has always been underwhelming and I’ve never cooked a turkey myself. I do a nice bit of beef on Boxing Day to keep my wife’s grandad happy.

    A car is most efficient travelling at around 60 mph, so I try to keep my speed around that figure. I tried to explain this to two grumpy police officers on the Watford ring road by Charter Market, but they seemed unimpressed.

    Haha - I don’t cook the turkey anyway, Mr HH is in charge of that. I had a crack at cooking a roast a couple of weeks ago, as he was away, for the first time in about 15 years. I think Mr HH was pissed off when our teenagers (who have no diplomatic skills clearly) told him that my chicken was cooked better (although my roast potatoes weren’t as good as his - I think he’d have given up if I’d trumped him there too).

    Agreed - we always give turkey a miss and have a nice chicken at Xmas.
    ps Calling HH24 a lovely bird is a little sexist TBH......I may have added a comma....and removed "a"......plus assuming that she cooks rather than Mr HH24!!

    Eat. Dab of English mustard and down in one. If you eat the pig’s meat you can eat its gelatinous boiled bones.
    Sounds like a powerful team, we have a have similar set up whereby my wife has the patience and technique to achieve a creamy mash.


    You won’t catch me being sexist, can’t be doing with all the nagging and agro….

    Apparently the secret with roasties is parboiling first and getting the fat really hot before they go in ....or so I'm told :)

    It was a discovery that the Chinese eat BBQ on special occasions. Last Xmas it was just me and my youngest after a lengthy talk we agreed that a turkey was too much (and no-one actually likes it and no one's a massive fan of 'roasts'), a duck's too small so we did our own siu ngo. We'll be doing it again*.

    Bought a pork pie recently with egg in the middle. A whole egg which had no yolk!

    Brexit innit mate, no one left to put the yolks in the eggs.

    Roast goose sounds good. BBQing on 25th Dec, not so good. I assume you just throw a goose in the oven with the right chiese spices, and hey presto ?

    Alternatively too many workers engaged removing egg parts from pork pies when they should be employed driving juggernauts delivering petrol. It's no yolk.

    Did all that - they weren’t bad, just not as good as Mr HH’s. Mind you, my contribution to Christmas lunch is cauliflower cheese and I am the master of that.

    A true magician never reveals their secrets but... yeah. I used to painstakingly mix a marinade but a Chinese bloke I got chatting to in Wing Yip introduced me to this:

    Parboil for 10-15 mins, Put them in the oven with the joint and when joint is ready and is taken out to rest, baste the spuds with the juices from the meat and put the oven temp up to 220 for 20 mins. Works for me

    They also sell a suckling piglet for £50 - but I don't think I could fit it in my oven.

    Delia's tip is, once drained, to shake the potatoes against the pan to rough up the edges before roasting. It makes them fluffier and tastier. I've done it - it works.

    It’s a good’un, let em sit in their own steam for five minutes too after draining and shaking. Get your fat and roasting tin hot hot hot too.

    KFC convinced the japanese in the 70s that Americans eat fried chicken on Christmas day, so the Japanese people preorder their Xmas chicken bucket months in advance. Apparently.

    I'll be honest, I'd done all the faff around roasties guided by Delia and Nigella. Goose fat, dusting of flour, blanch in boiling water, or a couple of minutes, rough up the edges blah blah blah.

    Frankly I've never noticed any significant difference over my quick roasties, which involve peeled spuds in a tray, drizzled and tossed in olive oil. Maybe some rosemary and sea salt to feel posh. They are always perfect and I'm sure all the other effort is a con by Big Goose Fat.

    Why is it called 'oven' when you of in the cold food and of out eat the food hot?

    The bloody goose fat lobby is a pernicious influence at the highest levels of government, monarchy and probably the church in this country. You can't move two paces without hearing someone extolling the virtues of goose fat as a solution to a crisis.

    Donald was draining the swamp but his work has paused. In 2025 he will be back exposing Goose fat pedo chinese virus links and saving America.

    Can goose fat be used in a diesel engine? Asking for a friend.

    The edges need roughing up. Fact.

    Mrs Willis and I spent a week up in North Yorkshire in the run up to the Leeds match and there was almost no issue up there at all. We wanted to tour around some of the Dales and Moors but for the first couple of days thought perhaps we shouldn't to conserve fuel, until we went past a petrol station just outside Ripon where we could fill up with no queue at all. After doing our touring around and going down to Leeds and back we went back to the same place to fill up before the journey home. I put it down to the pragmatic attitude of Yorkshire folk compared with the entitled Southerners.

    You're not wrong there. Used to work on the Moors and plan on retiring up there. Or just moving now...

    The way I'd describe the North Vs South is at a B&B if you ask for no mushrooms up North they give you an extra sausage. Down South, they just take away the mushrooms.
