Could be an interesting one for me this year , first child is due New Year's Eve , tho I'm hoping she holds on until after The darts final on New Year's Day
Ah, my favorite time of year. In most years I follow the old European tradition of cooking a Christmas goose. I already have one in the freezer ready to go. Choice of alcohol? Yes Pork pie? I don't rightly know what that is (I bet I'd like it, though). I make the staple of the Missouri diet, pork steaks. Most non-midwestern Americans aren't familiar with pork steaks so I doubt you Englishmen are. We erect an artificial tree after Thanksgiving and, time permitting, put up a real tree about a week before Christmas. My wife is a professional harpist so this time of year is very intense for her. She has about 2-3 nights off between Thanksgiving and Christmas day without a concert, rehearsal, or gig. Ergo, time isn't always permitting.
She'll be good for plucking the goose then Tex. Budum tush So tell us what you mean by pork steak? Don't you have gooseberry pie too?
Pork pie, can't beat it. Like Chazz, I'm also intrigued by the Missouri pork steaks. please log in to view this image
My Dad liked to have Mid-Western goose for Christmas, but we didn't have a freezer, so it wasn't authentic.
Our kid makes his own pork pies, really good I’m too lazy and too close to Fields butchers to faff about to be honest
