Potatoes are pretty horrible unless you add fat to them somehow or other really. |

I think last year we had 3 different types of potato for Christmas dinner: boiled, roasted and mashed (and I think the roasted were done in two ways, some were done in the meat juices and some were seasoned with herbs and stuff) |

I just...I don't...what?! Boiled potatoes with Christmas dinner?! BURN THE WITCH. Nooooo! You've got it all wrong!! I do not have boiled potatoes. When I used to live at home or go anywhere else that supplied potatoes boiled, I mashed them up with my gravy to make them taste... of... food. Now that I am the master of my own Christmas dinner destiny, we have mash and the mash always has something added to it. The first time I gave Mr. flis and his children mash with cheese in, or mustard, or anything actually (they'd been eating it overcooked and mashed in it's own starchy ooziness prior to that) they thought it was some kind of magic. |

I think last year we had Roast Beef, Roast Turkey and Roast Lamb Boiled Potatoes, Mashed potatoes, Roast Potatoes, Croquets and Pasta Stuffing, and Pigs in blankets Roast parsnips, roast carrots Boiled carrots, boiled cabbage, boiled sprouts, boiled cauliflower, boiled broccoli, tinned peas, frozen peas There was probably more, but I forget |

Ah, but Craster will think that because you have mashed potatoes, there's less space for roast potatoes. It's the same as his bread sauce theory: "I don't want bread sauce because I want more gravy instead." Taken to that extreme, the perfect Christmas dinner is four portions of JOWL and nothing else. ... Well, damn. |

Tinned peas are different to frozen peas in that they're fucking vile. I do have a strange penchant for tinned potatoes though. |

Tinned peas are vile. My mum does a mash that is 30% potato, 30% sweet potato and 40% cheese with more cheese on top and grilled. That Is just about acceptable, but only because it is great fried the next day. |

I think the problem with most potatoes is that they are horrible full stop if purchased from the supermarket. You are lucky if you get a week before green sprouts appear everywhere. I bought a couple of 25KG sacks from the local pick your own place early October and they are brilliant, keep them in my garage in the sack and get out what we need on a weekly basis. Variety is red desiree, they are covered in dirt so really lean themselves to peeling before cooking, so nice though even now I maybe get one sprout among 6 or 7. Will be gutted when this last sack runs out and we have to go back to getting them from Tesco  Also bought a sack of onions at the same time, again find they supermarket onions are soft and crappy on the shelf. These have lasted well so far and are always nice and firm. The block at the farm said they will keep all winter if kept well. Back to the topic of what to have with Christmas Dinner for me only one potato will do- Roasted in goose fat

We will go to Mass on Christmas Day, its important to my wife. Around 18 years ago her dad had Brain cancer. The hospital said he was basically fucked but they would try some radio therapy. So at the same time he started going to church, he told me he was hedging his bets He beat the cancer and is still alive to day, the best case for what he had is 5 years. His case is very unusual and his GP had to write to the hospital to tell them to stop the interns getting excited and telling her dad he was lucky to be alive each time he went for an annual check up! Don't think my wife believes that God fixed him, but her view is that he went to church and beat his cancer so we should go at least once a year for that. So I go along, to be honest I don't mind it. Christmas Mass is quite nice. |
