How many mince pies and Christmas puddings have you eaten so far this December

[Cheyne_brewer]

None - don’t like mince pies & Xmas pud. Could do without the marathon cooking session for Xmas day as well, I’d rather have a curry.

Funnily enough the wife was watching a programme last night about making mince pies and the average amount eaten before christmas is 6.5 per person

I’m on number 18 today (last of my third box of six)! And what with @Clint consumption a lot of people either don’t like them or are being very good!

Turkey curry’s for boxing day

We have the bubble and squeak type fry up with pickles and cold meats on Boxing day and the turkey curry the day after - 2 of the best meals of the year

I made some 'mince roll' by rolling out some pastry, flattening out some lamb mince then rolling up like a Swiss roll.

It was delicious but a bit gloopy. Next time I'll put a grid in the tray so all the juice and fat drips down.

Turkey curry’s for boxing day

Boxing day tends to be turkey sandwiches as uses up the stuffing, bread sauce and cranberry sauce. Then the following few days typically turkey curry, turkey risotto and of course a big pot of soup made with turkey stock.

Thank god the turkey's are smaller this year due to Covid and no large family gatherings - always a positive

Had my first pie yesterday and two in my lunchbox today though I've had around five slices of Christmas cake over the last two weeks.

Christmas cake! Forgot about Christmas cake. Sending SWMBO off to Sainsbury’s tomorrow for Christmas cake slices!

My cake needs marzipan and icing but with my hand in a mess it'll have to wait.

Used to like marzipan and icing but prefer it without with plenty of brandy to keep it nice and moist.

I'm not a fan of Mince pies generally apart from the ones that my mother in law makes, this year due to her having severe arthritis in her wrist she said she would struggle to make them this year so I volunteered and made them yesterday for her and myself, they turned out really well and just had the OK from the mother in law saying I've got the job next year as well if I want it. I don't do Christmas pud

For all you haters,
Christmas Pud wine is awesome!!!
I'll look out a recipe (won't be anytime soon though, as I'm on the mulled wine...)

Oddly I’m not a fan of Christmas Pudding by its self but I love to take left over pudding fry it in a little butter and cinnamon serve with coffee for Boxing Day breakfast.
