Dunno, depends on which take away the God Daughters pick. Could be Pizza, Chinese or Curry. Off to the pub with their dad so as long as it's edible, it'll be fine

Tonight is "proper" Christmas in our house following the Central / East European tradition. So we will be having:

Salt herring. Beetroot. Other kind of herring. Beetroot done a different way. Biscuit things in poppy seed milk. Rye bread.

It's probably the healthiest meal I have over the holidays.

Out for Italian with the in-laws.

Probably go for a seafood starter and then whatever mains aren't pasta or pizza (they do a really good sea bass dish).

Wrong. It goes with lamb. Of course.
Curry here though. I'll just have another brandy while I wait for it.

I'm not taking culinary direction from a man that pairs curry with brandy!

Nahh ... pork ... Perhaps lamb then coley but not all at once.

I don't believe in eating maggots or insects as I do not want to compete with other animals for food source.

What's with the trendy people trying to eat insects ... ๐Ÿ™„

Smoked haddock risotto and Westvelteren 12. The Westy is my traditional Christmas eve treat to myself. Would normally make something more extravagant for dinner but we've a 6 week old (plus toddler) so keeping things as easy and low key as possible this year.

I tracked down a relatively reasonably priced case a few years back, only crack one open at Christmas or birth of a child. Certainly wouldn't pay what gets charged most of the time, St Bernadus 12 is 99% as good for a fraction of the price.
