Xmas Dinner - What you all having?

[LondonManc]

good for cheese toasties, too

A cheese toastie is, by definition, a toasted cheese sandwich.

The concoction/abomination you mention is a cheese yorkie (not to be confused with a cheesy yorkie, which is an unhygienic Leeds chap).

He's from Manchester

Yorkshire puddings belong with roast beef, horseradish sauce and gravy.

Just be a pasty barm for him then. Or some bury black pudding.

Now then quackers, your geography seems somewhat out. Pasty barms are further north west, up past Notlob. Tip if you go out in Wigan; wear gravy rather than aftershave and you'll pull without problem. With luck she'll have more teeth than fingers; at least 13.

Stuffing with black pudding I haven't come across before, but it sounds interesting. We always stuffed the turkey with sausage-meat in my family, it was my favourite bit.

We will be having:

• Capon chicken
• Ham joint, possibly slow-cooked to save oven space
• Pigs in their blankets
• Roast & mash
• Roast honey-parsnips
• Carrots and sprouts (the latter possibly fried in bacon fat to taste nice)
• Bread sauce and cranberry
• Stuffings
• Gravy

I've been called a Manchester tart before now

Pie/pasty barms are one and the same, often dictated by the mood of the consumer and the supplier of the outlet. Poole's of Wigan is one of the best pie purveyors around; Greenhalgh's adequate while Hollands have gone off a cliff after their foreign takeover. It's a Wigan to Bolton thing, but don't tar the delightful yonners of Bury with the same brush as the knuckled-draggers from Notlob.
