xxxxxxx from arms length so you dont get this Moroccan lamb shanks simmering Mincemeat soaking chickpeas soaked and cooked Fridge washed Right Wheres that ham?
And i still havent finished the blumming shopping!
Chimp - on xmas day at lunch time we tuck into the Big Cold Table accompanied by copious quantities of beer and snaps and in the evening we gurgle clear soup with mini dumplings and mini meatballs followed by boiled beef and horse raddish sauce. Oh, yes: tomorrow we start at noon with rice pudding with dab of butter, sprinkled with cinamon and sugar. Then church. Then in the evening we have roast pork with crackling, sweet pickled red cabbage and caramalized potatoes plus gravy, followed by rice à l'amande in which there is one whole almond. The finder wins a little prezzie, usually a marzipan pig. After that we open our prezzzents.
Cheers, Hippo! The Big Cold Table has a few hot bits too. But we start with three or four kinds of pickled herring (cold), battered fillet of plaice (fried in butter, hot), smoked eel and scrambled egg (cold), smoked salmon, gravad laks with dill and mustard dressing, cold prawns (usually accompanied by slices of hard boiled egg and mayo) then meatballs (hot), cold cuts, liver pate with bacon and mushrooms (piping hot), brawn (we'll have two kinds this year made by our local butcher)(all these savories servied with a selection of pickles and relishes including red cabbage, cucumbers, squash, pumpkin), blood pudding with maple syrup and apple sauce, and finally stinky Danish cheese often served with fresh onion rings, raddishes, consomé jelly, and an egg yolk; creamy Danablu (quite unlike the boring salty stuff you usually find in supermarket cheese sections). Different flavours of snaps are served with the relevant courses: a dill one for the salmon, for example, and a delicious sweet gale or bog myrtle (Myrica gale) for the cheese.
evenin' - just back from eating out at our local hostelry, rump steak with garlic and onions, saute potatoes and a side salad, a couple of glasses of wine each, 36 Euros the lot. The Mr. is now swigging Ouzo, but I'm staying with the wine.
Just been to tesco for a few last minute extra items, double cream, chardonnay and peanuts, the sort of things you run out of.... Mrs frog has gone into a baking frenzy and refuses to come out of the kitchen...
