we roast our turnips.
Some do have mashed pots, maybe with swede mixed in.
I like boiled and roasted
oh hang on a mo - its the parsnips we roast.
Don't know if anyone has turnips,
I've only cooked one Xmas lunch in my life and it was a disaster!
Lol not really.... I'm quite good at desserts. I make awesome cheesecakes and creme brûlée
Other than that I'm pretty awful
English traditional meal.Roast potatoes, turkey, stuffing,brussell sprouts,gravy, veggies, pigs in blankets, Christmas pudding etc.
Moroccans won't even acknowledge Christmas, they call it Bonne Année and get very confused when you explain that's on 1st January.
So they call them Bonne année trees and Papa Noel, (Father Christmas), is just a cartoon or balloon figure in the end of year sales.
We call them neeps in Scotland - mashed turnips
We do have parsnips, rather than turnips, but roasted, not mashed.
Yuuuuummmmmyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!
That's very kind I would bring plenty of wine and goodies!You are welcome in granny Brodie's house anytime Lyn
I am hoping that my sister is home for Xmas this year so I and my nephew can go there.
Last Xmas we ate out and it was like the worst school dinner ever and x16 the cost
NO ROASTIES!!!
It was revolting - but I had my money back!!
Ugh!
That would be really nice! I've never had Christmas dinner anywhere other than my granny Brodie's but my fiancé and I have a tradition on Christmas Eve where our friends come round and we have steak pie and roast potatoes and a good dessert! It's not as good as Christmas dinner itself though.That's very kind I would bring plenty of wine and goodies!
I am hoping that my sisiter is home for Xmas this year so I and my nephew can go there.

Where does your sister live?
Surprised you twice!?Quelle surprise
Quelle surprise!!!!
You'd be most welcome!!!!Christmas dinner twice
Can I come to you then?
But bring Elsie, too.
She would be delighted! What about beastie? He's being over wintered and would probably prefer Morocco to freezing Scotland
i was very surprised.
Of course, beastie!!!!
I can rustle up a holiday enclosure easily enough, though i should point out Fes is a bit chilly by Christmas and there's no central heating or even windows in most of my house.
or carpets, come to that.
Anyhow it's time for some sleep!! Hope you all enjoy the rest of your night! Speak tomorrow
It was quite funny actually it was the first Xmas after we lost our Mum and I stayed home to spend the day with an elderly aunt who was on her own. One of my sisters had split from her hubby and was coming here after work for lunch.Quelle surprise
Quelle surprise!!!!
I didn't think it was too bad for a first attempt and just thought I'd dished too much up when the others left a lot on their plates.
After Xmas the one sister returned and telephoned the other and asked what the dinner was like then passed the phone to me just as she was saying "It was bl**dy awful!" I let her go on for a bit how she didn't know what I'd done to the gravy etc etc etc, then asked her if she was cooking it next year. You could have cut the silence with a knife as she realised I'd heard it all and I could feel the heat of her blushes through the phone. Good job we all have a sense of humour!!
I've not tried since as I was scarred for life.
Well that's my excuse!!
