Nope, not a success.

Fried pumpkin on the main dish, poor stuffing and a bread pudding instead of christmas pud.

Never mind, good company to share the meal.

I cooked for my neighbour.

Roast pork, turkey breast, roast spuds, baby beans, carrots, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower cheese followed by an excellent Wilkin Xmas pud with icecream.

French plonk to wash it down and a couple of Laphroiags to settle it all.

Back on the diet tomorrow.

I had lunch at Streets in Hoi An....the chilli was a surprisingly good accompaniment to the duck. Pumpkin soup a joy as well...I left feeling satisfied...well great food and company...what more can you ask for?

Edit: A nice bit of Taylor's 40 yo port and some stilton of course. Doh!

use one of the corks from your hat.........simples

One of my local watering holes decided to put on a Xmas lunch barbecue. We were promised ham, turkey, prawns and Xmas pudding. The turkey didn't appear (only chicken), the prawns were barbecued (to death) and there was no salad and no Xmas pudding. Bloody awful and he still charged us the original price. The idea had seemed a good one, but next year we'll stick with a restaurant meal for Xmas lunch. Disaster.

I had a pork tongue stew.

It was actually quite tasty but I couldn't overcome the thought of eating tongue so it was not finished.

There's a cheeseboard available this evening with Jarlsburg or Edam(can't remember which), Cheddar, Brie, Camembert and Stilton.

Which order should I eat them in please?

How to Eat a Cheese Plate

Keeping your knives and wedges straight

By Michele Foley

Cheese plates are to modern entertaining what potato chips and clam dip were to 1970s soirees. But many who wouldn’t dare double-dip are ignorant of cheese-plate etiquette. Follow these tips and avoid being the one holding the knife when the others ask, “Who cut the cheese?”

1. Don’t lop off the tip.

How many times have you turned a graceful triangle of cheese into an ungainly trapezoid? Rather than chop off the tip, you’re supposed to cut pieces off the sides to maintain a cheese’s wedge shape. Why? Two reasons: because it looks better, and so that someone isn’t stuck with the harder, drier part at the end near the rind. Rob Kaufelt, owner of New York–based Murray’s Cheese, says that cutting miniwedges lets you taste all the cheese’s parts, from the rind to its creamier center. Yes, unless it’s wax or has paper on it, try the rind.

2. To every cheese there is a serveware piece.

If the host puts out a separate knife for each cheese, use them. Norbert Wabnig, of the Cheese Store of Beverly Hills, says, “Eating from a cheese plate is not like eating from a trough. Mixing flavors leads to contamination of the cheeses.” Some people actually want to taste a pure, snowy chèvre without crumbs of Gorgonzola sticking to it. And on a related note, it’s OK to spread soft cheese directly on your cracker with the serving knife.

3. It’s not gluttony, it’s cheese.

If your host offers many cheeses, it’s fine to create a sampler plate for yourself with a slice of each.

My favourite was the one with all the holes in. Wow....proper low fat cheese....

I'm lying in fact...the Stilton was creamier than...well I'll let you decide....

Did anyone manage a decent Xmas spread in SEA?? ohmy.png

The wife and kids are away shopping, so I managed a smoked Beef Tounge sandwich with a side of smoked baked beans and coleslaw / dill and sweet/hot pickles. I'll never forgive them for leaving me on my own. whistling.gif

I managed to forage A Rueben sandwich,some macaroni and cheese. some more of that cole slaw. a jar of hot mustard, and a jar of those sweet/hot pickles that I love.

Wife says he needs to go to Bangkok again next month, so I'm planniing my menu.

PS: (I'm cutting the maid in on all the delectables,so she's keeping hush for now, though I don't expect that to last).

Very disappointing hotel brunch which made no culinary concession to Christmas whatsoever. My son was distraught there was no turkey, so by way of a conciliatory gesture, I'm taking him to the pub tonight. Santa's helper looked nice enough, I suppose, the brunch was within budget and none of us ate too much.

For a Boxing Day trat we joined the throngs at IKEA, it was just like being back home. Though to be fair, after avoiding the cafeteria, we were able to keep to schedule. I'd been looking forward to some pickled silverback rollmop herring, but they only had them in a mustard sauce, so I'm saving them for a special occasion when I don't want anyone getting too close.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned that last time I was in Bangkok I went to one of my favourite food courts, but it had been replaced with an upmarket shopping village. Rarely-daunted, I popped in to tour their delicatessen; they seemed to have a wide enough variety of exotic European cheeses, and various sausage products, but no haggis. To be fair, it was more than a week after St Andrew's Night, and over a month till Burns' Night, but there was not even a sign up saying where to place your order.

My dear wife did manage to score us some Irn Bru for Christmas; I'll need to keep my eye out for a replenishment for Hogmanay.

What kind of poll is that?

"Do you like cheese?"

You could ask "Do you like your heart beating?" as well...

Bit of helpful info: the Millenium Hilton in BKK has a "cheese room" and it's <deleted> excellent!

It's a Bedlam poll, it obeys different laws.

If the dream involved ballerinas, life sized jelly babies and a moomin, it's probably best to keep it here.

I had to google moomin.

I wonder if the act of "Googling a Moomin" would be considered offensive to Moomins ?............

(unless between consenting Moomins in the sanctity of their own mound)

Are they still allowed to have more than one wife?

They can be a pest knocking on your door on Sunday mornings as well....

I get really pissed off when wives 4 and 6 start smoking on the emergency stairwell of the hotel at 5am I can yell you. Bloody inconsiderate.
