Your 'Tastes of Xmas'?

[Oakie]

Doesn't have to be mainstream fare or even the main meal. What are the tastes of Xmas for you?

For me:

Xmas morning ... mimosas (several) https://www.inspiredtaste.net/19516/mimosa-recipe/ We do ours with bubbly, pulpy orange juice and triple sec.
Xmas evening (and other times) ... any uneaten cooked new potatoes sliced and fried in butter on the bbq
Breakfasts ... ham and tomato on toast.

Go ...

Usually comes after BBQ or occasionally roast, not fussed what's served before it but there's gotta be Pav (with a berry fruit salad & cream of-course)

get in the car, head to wanganui for the cemetery circuit, camp in the pits, servo station food all the way, and a couple of brown powerades before hitting the sack.

Kedgeree for Christmas breakfast (rice, smoked fish, hard boild eggs, cream, parsley and seasoning) fried up and washed down with Bucks Fizz. It's the only day of the year we have it as our kids, now in their 30's and 40's, reckon that will ruin the magic if we have it at any other time. Rather cool for them to think that! :laugh:

Kedgeree. God ... must have been damned near 45 years since I had that. Yum.

A good incentive to give it a crack again! Merry Christmas :niceone:

Slabs of fried ham with eggs and tomato, preferably cooked on the charcoal.
Followed by pancakes with whipped cream and berries.
Washed down with gallons of the kind of nasty methode fizzy-piss that is undrinkably sweet at any time later that 9am.

Then a snooze to work up an appetite for lunch!

[Oakie]

Bread sauce. Great with white meat. Fine on it's own!

Yeah, that is a blast from the past. I recently had an attack of the cooking blahs. When I'm finished munching my way through the Christmas ham it might be time to dust of the recipe books. There is a recipe for that in one of them.

Here you go Oakie and Ron: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7827453/The-Queen-begin-boxing-day-traditional-Indian-meal.html . You'll be in good company :laugh: We don't put curry powder in ours, just salt and pepper. Our kids add soy sauce to theirs.

Thanks Bb. To be honest, I did try to make it about 5 years ago but it was bloody awful so we biffed it and had cheese on toast instead.

Make a kedgeree. Then stuff half a capsicum with it and then some grated cheese on top and pop in the oven or under the grill...

Glad you joined us. Surely you must have something controversial to offer though?

Hi John. Yeah, that resembles my reaction to good food smells.

A wee thought for Kedgetaireens who go fishing and can smoke stuff.

If you catch white fish keep the bones, head etc and smoke them. Then make a fish stock. Smoke a fillet or two and set aside.

Use the smoky fish stock for a risotto, same ingredients as kedgeree but a risotto. Oh, arborio rice or similar, not long grain.

Finish with the flaked smoked fillets, grated boiled egg and herbs.

It's not healthier than using cream, should have tons of butter in a risotto, but much tastier.

Jeepers! Haven't used my smoker in the 20 years since we left Twizel. I am going fishing in a couple of weeks though ...
