bosstrabs I have to say, I had an Irish grandma, unfortunately no longer with us but I am eternally grateful to her blessed Papalist soul for my Brexit parachute, and this many types of potato thing is new to me.
-si- Two types of potato, dave. And it’s very common in england from what i can see on the interweb also. And grant has a normal sunday dinner except with turkey so he’s out. Can anyone on here come close to sean and my own magnificent festive feasts?
bosstrabs -si- neck tattoos and dogging are also now very popular in England, doesn’t make them right
Millsy -si- no mash! Christmas Dinner is supposed to be a super-duper roast dinner. So what the actual fuck is mashed potato doing on there? A pauper’s side dish.
vinnyt77 Millsy A well made mash is a beautiful thing. Use the right potatoes, well seasoned, lashings of butter. Anything but a pauper’s dish…
Millsy Si, for reference, the rest of your list seems ok. Not sure i would have the ham personally. Prefer to save that for Boxing Day cold meats and bubble.
Hursty Millsy It’s a typo, was supposed to read Turkey-Ham. Think Bernard Matthews is a fine purveyor of such clever culinary delights.
Along_the_Wire I don’t have any issue with anyone having mash with their Christmas dinner, or any roast, but if I wanted more potato on my plate, I would have more roast potatoes.
Kumquat vinnyt77 A well made mash is a beautiful thing. Use the right potatoes, well seasoned, lashings of butter. Anything but a pauper’s dish… Totally agree, No milk or cream though. I personally hate wet mash.
-si- Regarding a touch of class, I play chicane saltwater, on repeat, between the end of the queen’s speech and my annual rerun of the fools and horses xmas special at 7pm.
bosstrabs I’m trying to work out how to use my side hustle as an Instagram influencer to really ignite a special Christmas. I might browbeat some local veg suppliers into giving me free shit and then spend all Christmas dinner photographing carrots.
seanc80 Millsy has had some bad experiences with creamed potato it appears. I think he was on that soirée with Smallman over here a while back.
