The Christmas Dinner Thread

[extraT]

I thought this thread would be a great way to share any hints and tips you have for cooking the Christmas Dinner.

With 10 days to go, I have already got my meat (Pork Belly) and some excellent sausages in. Will be buying the rest this week. I will also make two different types of stuffing: chilli and Apple, and, Sage & Onion.

This follows on from my Roast Potato Thread last year: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=2&a...

Well after much thought I've decided to make life easy and go with this;

No shopping, no prep, good quality, hassle free meal...and there'll be enough Turkey left over for sandwiches!

Arranged to collect on 23rd December and very much looking forward to it

That link takes me to your basket.... I think you'll need to post the address for the actual item.

some of the things from M&S do look interesting (pigs in blankets mmmmmmmmmmm drool).

I have one mate who will make a curry-roast for xmas! He says he will make a roast as normal, only as well as rubbing salt etc... to get crispy skin, he will also add a mit of curry powder! Sounds interesting.
