    The Official Christmas Dinner Thread

    Ok, looks like it's the prefect Christmas as it will be just MrsMac and I for dinner, no kids, which means I can play a little with the traditional, looking for ideas other than turkey, can be completely out of left field.

      Go mad...



      Go double mad...

      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          You could try a posh restaurant or a good pub and be annoyed by everyone elses screaming kids if you want. Sadly no child free events on round us this year. Bah Humbug

            Goat stew? Mutton chop? Rabbit pie?

            It really depends what's grazing in your left field.

              Volunteer at your local crisis/shelter. It'll be the best Christmas you have.

                I'm volunteering to be a beater for one of the local Exmoor shoots over Christmas. There are about 70 shoots, and a neighbour who does it is having a word with one of the shoot managers.

                Good exercise, £60 cash in hand ("no tax please, we're British"), a decent meal, and a good piss up at the end of the day, where I can meet some possibly interesting locals (but probably end up blowing most of the £60!), and maybe a brace of birds to take home if for some reason the shooters don't want all of them.

                  Go Korean and cook a puppy. They're not just for Christmas, they're for Boxing day as well.

                    I'm not sure that there's enough meat on even a big breed puppy to last to Boxing Day, best get a brace in.
