Christmas foods and the only manner in which I can eat them:
- Sprouts - with smoky bacon bits.
- Cauliflower - with cheese over the top.
- Broccoli - with Soy sauce.
- Cabbage - with butter and salt.
- Red cabbage - with apple, onion, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, brown sugar and wine vinegar, simmered for at least 3 hours.
- Roast potatoes - with lots of salt, and then only a few.
- Mashed potato - with cheese and mustard.
- Carrots - with lashings of butter and roasted.
- Parsnips - roasted with honey.
- Boiled potatoes - never, if I can.
- Turkey - I'd rather not.
- Beef - rare and cold with salt and horseradish.
- Duck - rare.
- Pork - sticky with honey, garlic and soy.
- Stuffing - soft with meat juices. I actually prefer a vegetarian nut roast as stuffing.
- Cheese - smelly, ripe and on the verge of killing me.
- Christmas pudding - with any sauce, but never on its own, and half the amount my eyes say is enough.
Bland food just doesn't cut the mustard for me - although I do prefer Dijon.
Spotted a LeedsLive news report yesterday which demonstrates the irresponsibility of news media, not that this headline is particularly irresponsible, just totally misleading..
The above headline is time stamped 17.36 yesterday, the 25th of December. The text reads "Shoppers have set out in in droves in Leeds city centre to bag the latest Boxing Day bargains, with prices slashed down significantly after Christmas Day. Customers across the city are visiting shopping centres to snap up the festive deals."
Have set out? Are visiting? On Christmas Day, when the article was written - or, rather, updated? They are reporting events, before they even happen, as if they're happening now.
