I'm one of those people who are up their own backside about food. Just don't get me started. I'll happily spend way more than 40 mins of prep in the kitchen (I find it relaxes me). At the moment I'm trying to concoct a decent recipe for Christmas Dinner. It'll just be me and swmbo, so I can't do swan or albatross
In the past I've done a variety of unusual things, including my own multi-bird roast (partridge inside a mallard inside a chicken, all boned by myself - not that kind of "boned"). This year I think it'll be some sort of ballotine, guinea fowl if I can find it, with a stuffing of black pudding, prunes soaked in brandy, and... I dunno yet, I'm still experimenting. I've just reduced a huge pan of homemade chicken stock down to about 250ml for a gravy. I mean it's just bonkers.
Anyone got any plans for something out of the ordinary this Christmas dinner?
