I'd heard you like a good roast.... [:p]

Iceland so need to lose ChipShop as their 'celebrity' lead for marketing - talk about single handedly ruining reputation.

My best tip for roast potatoes is to use Desiree variety potatoes although some people say King Edwards are best but I find Desiree gives more consistent results.Totally agree with other comments re. hot goose fat(light and crispy) or beef dripping (very tasty) and roughing up the potatoes. Lovely roasties........think I will make some this Sunday after reading this thread.[:)]

sprouts without instant cardiology failure or 90% left on plate: Not your mother's (overdone) sprouts:


steam al dente heat garlic and pine nuts in olive oil/ toss al dente sprouts until crispy brown outer leaves (halve if too large) salt/pepper/parmesan another minute serve hot.

Yes, but it is the $3k plane ticket to get the £1.50 meal that hurts.

Definitely cook them in goose fat for the best taste.

The problem I have here is that nobody carries Goose fat out here, so....if anyone is coming over and feels like sneaking some into the country, drop me a line [:I]

Nobody's mentioned brussels sprouts - can't have a Xmas dinner without them (even if you hate them and don't eat them - the HAVE to be on the plate!)



brussels sprouts [:$] safe to say they will not be found anywhere in the house at Christmas, or any other time...along with cabbage.

Thank you everyone for your help [oo]

Can't you ask for a Thanksgiving dinner a month late. The last one I had in 2001 was almost identical.

Just what DOES constitute a Thanksgiving dinner though? Am I wrong in thinking there's pumpkin in there somewhere? I thought they were a good few differences between it and Xmas dinner. No sprouts, for a kick-off...[:D]

If you can't get goose fat can you get a duck for roasting?

If you do a roast duck you should get enough fat from it to do several batches of roasties in the future (stores for ages in the fridge as long as you get rid of the duck juice and just keep the fat)

Hi, Claire ...
There are many holiday food traditions in our country; it really depends on one's family or religion. For some in the US Thanksgiving means roast turkey with bread stuffing, mashed potatoes, candied yams, cranberry sauce, and maybe a green bean casserole or some other favorite.

In Vegas, of course, many people don't even know that it's Thanksgiving or are too busy having fun to eat! Scrooge was probably working on Thanksgiving.

At Christmas it's either 'Thanksgiving' again -- or many people fancy a baked ham. My sister makes us a mean creamed onions and cheese casserole to go along with the ham. One of my friends enjoys a standing rib roast for Christmas; another has lobsters flown in.

I was lucky to be invited to a colleagues home in Connecticut for Thanksgiving this year, my first ever. It was a great experience. We had green bean casserole, made by my friend's MIL, which I had never had before, delicious! Also my first experience of turkey cooked in a fryer. Succulent, juicy, yummy!

I am happy to report that there was no sign of the loathsome brussel sprout, a vegetable that should not only be left in the ground, but comprehensively ploughed in, you've guessed it, I hate them [:$]
