If you could have anything you wanted

This is the position I’m in now really but I can’t think of anything to do but standard christmas stuff and a nut roast because I’m a very silly man

I don’t think that would be a very successful thread

Got to be better than 90% of them.

Yeah the years it’s just been the two of us we go through all these conversations about how we can have anything we like. And then have a roast.

Blimey.

Will probably do this tbf

Some kind of fish starter, followed by coq au vin or something like that. Not that arsed about pudding. Maybe a dessert wine or a cocktail.

Have had free reign most Christmases the last decade or so as we’ve hosted the past 4 years, and every second year before that we’d be at my mum’s and I’d cook (only had traditional every other year at the in-laws before). Best at my mum’s were a honey-garlic-chilli-lime roast duck one year, and a beef wellington another.

But in our house we’ve made curry the tradition - we make five or six curries from scratch (usually using spices from The Spicery) in the weeks running-up to Christmas, freeze them, then on the day we just heat them up and make flatbreads, salads, and lemon pickle, and maybe a fish curry. All quite easy on the day, and it’s gone down well with fussy kids and grandparents as well.

Is the whole point of this thread to be selfish about what you want, or to choose something that would be good for everyone.

Because with a veggie other half (who’s allergic to mushrooms) and five year old child, there’s always a compromise to be made.

if I was being selfish, and thinking about what I’d want - this christmas, that I haven’t had all year, regardless of what anyone else might be eating, I think I’d go for a Burger Brothers burger. Not one of the fancy ones - just a classic burger. I’m salivating just thinking about it.

Quite fancy a Burger King tbh. Not had one all year. XL bacon double cheese meal, large, coke. CHEERS LA
