It was tasty, but rather small. I think my parents got it from Swiss Colony or something.

I'm going to have to remember that Figi's place. Their turducken looked reasonably priced too.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

We do our family dinner on Christmas Eve.
The wife makes a Lasagna and I make a polenta stuffed with cheese and covered with a veal tomato sauce.
Everyone else brings sides and pies. A feast.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

phesant is quite nice, nothing amazing though. it's fairly easy to prepare as well."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

Lots of fat on a pheasant, I find.Originally posted by C0ckney View Post
On the other hand, goes well with a citrus sauce, or something sharp with berries or a cherry sauce.
I'm thinking of having fish main course this year, kangaroo and wallaby being in short supply in this neck of the bush. Maybe some curry goat... it's turned a mite chilly here.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

yeah it's good for making stock, but it's not as nice as a good turkey.
planning to spend christmas in argentina this year with the wife and some friends. i've never had an argentine christmas dinner before, so it should be a nice change."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

And for dessert ?

perhaps, although brazilian christmas is surprisingly light on meat, so we'll see."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

I've enjoyed all the Brazilian food I've had so far, but as I'm fond of West African food that wasn't a great surprise. Avocado as a dessert was a slight surprise at first, but it works very well.Originally posted by C0ckney View Post
I often make a first course of avocado filled with prawns and peeled pink grapefruit segments, in a light French dressing. The vegetarians and non-seafood eaters get a Moroccan watercress, black olive and herb salad that has grapefruit segments in it too, so there's a handy bit of overlap.
I'm giving serious thought to a lime and basil granita for dessert with vodka soaked seasonal red fruits as decoration.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

sounds lovely. although i never delved much into west african cuisine (north african on the other hand...), i'm a big fan of brazilian food. somewhat ironically i end making a lot of english food when i have company as it's something exotic for them."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

I don't think molly is very far off though...
Christmas food does vary a lot, especially depending on how much each family has kept traditions from where they come from.
Some traditional options are roast piglet (lechón), thinly sliced roast tenderloin (lomo), vitello tonnato (vitel tonné), (cow) tongue vinaigrette (lengua a la vinagreta), and also sometimes ham.Indifference is BlissComment

You'd definitely recognise the African influences on Brazilian (especially regional) food.Originally posted by C0ckney View Post

London is going bananas over Peruvian cuisine at the moment...
I first had ceviche in Amsterdam of all places, about 20-25 years ago. Absolutely delicious. Then again in Australia. MMmmmmm, seafood.....Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

Peruvian cusine is pretty much a fad over here as well, although (luckily) not big enough (yet) so that crappy, expensive places are yet to pop up.
In any case, there's plenty of very authentic places to go and eat, since ther has been some relatively significant Peruvian immigration, especially during the 90s. Ceviche is very good, my wife in particular loves it.Indifference is BlissComment
