I just wanted to say, that you are probably wrong on that one, but there is proof.

I might be poohed for this, but I do buy frozen Hungarian free range goose from Lidl. Once tried it was gorgeous, so keep getting it.

Only have whole bird before Christmas time and they sell out very fast.

Oh does the cooking, so it will be some vegetarian gourmet surprise (the surprise being that we're hoping to be volunteering so won't have a Christmas dinner this year), we're both athiests anyway, he's an ex-Catholic and I'm an ex-Jew! He has done some yummy meals before though, one being a chestnut, shallot and some posh mushroom bourgignon pie.

Do you mean sausage rolls (sausages in pastry) or sausages wrapped in bacon.

I love both unfortunately :roll:

Pastry (IMHO) was only invented to stop you getting your fingers mucky, I love the fillings for quiche, pies, custard tarts, etc but with the exception of choux pastry, it's hardly a taste sensation.

sausages in bacon but the sausage rolls dont last long either!!

You should try my pastry - You might change your mind then :!:

Light, fluffy but crunchy and burts in your mouth. Oh yum yum yum

That's the thing Aunty I'm brill at pastry, but rubbish at sponges, something to do with cold hands I think, but I'm not keen on it.

Local bronze turkey this year though we are more thanhappy with leftovers,we put chestnuts into the cavity so soup is delicious.If no one is visiting we have goose and a year of lovley roast spuds from the fat.We also cook a ham for boxingday.Pigs in blankets a must!!

Anyhow I hope to be doing something exotic with a mango over Christmas - as per my earlier thread entitled Mango Envy

a YEAR of goose fat! How much is that in volume??

Just a few big pots of your onion / garlic soup will finish your's off mushy
