Your 'Tastes of Xmas'?

**Oakie** · 22nd December 2019, 18:23

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 ...

Pav!

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!

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

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!

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/a...dian-meal.html . You'll be in good company

We don't put curry powder in ours, just salt and pepper. Our kids add soy sauce to theirs.
