We threw our left-over brussels out for the seagulls

but obviously they are very fussy eaters along this end of the prom and they wouldn't eat them :shock:

so we (well my long-suffering other half - he was trying to score some brownie points :lol:

)had to go back out to the garden and pick them all up up next day :!:

Well, we just had turkey mayo wraps with salad as I discovered most of the breast hadn't been touched (no wise cracks, please). We had a capon from Findlays and an M&S duck for me, as not keen on either turkey or chicken, and of course since things went awry we hardly ate any and are left with mountains of tasty organic meat we don't really want.
We also took a "hamper" into the hospital of a capon drumstick, some fancy cheese, oatcakes, a salmon roll, and a miniature bottle of red wine. Bound to be good for his heart, all that. :wink:

We still have masses of food left though, after all the disruption. As for the sprouts, by the time we got onto dinner, I ruined all the veg. No al dente rubbish in this house this Christmas, thank you very much - really traditional English, I think (not really sampled Scots sprouts since I hate them anyway), mushy soggy sprouts and broccoli. And the parsnips are in the freezer. The really really crappy thing was that I managed to cook the birds really well!

Personally I would happily skip the traditional Christmas meal altogether - I've never been keen on it, and am even less so now it conjures up images of ambulances

. I normally cook pretty healthily but I'd rather have a take away for Christmas every time!

Did anybody see River Cottage today? He was cooking a 10 bird roast which consisted of (funnily enough) 10 birds in descending sizes being cooked one inside the other :shock:

It looked disgusting especially since the poor turkey was the biggest and had all the others inside it. Think I'll just stick to the usual one again next year (unless I can persuade them the Prince Balti would be a better option)
