Mississippi Bullfrog Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Yes, because our oven is a silly size and we can't get a turkey in it. So we have beef done in two slow cookers. I'm not a huge fan of turkey anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Sorry but yorkies are absolutely only to be had with roast beef. Anything else is nothing less than sacrilege. Like ketchup on steak. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old-codger Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 We were going to have yorkshires with the xmas dinner but do to poor service from the kitchen staff they got left in the oven Doh. In no way am I laying any blame on my partner as she is a lot stronger than I am and has violent tendencys, so lets just say it was my fault. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they started out life as a filler and are frequently seen on dinners of many varieties I'm afraid limiting it to those that can afford beef is just sentimtal bourgeoisie eletism and should be stamped out before a revolution is called for 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullscreenaging Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Yes A Christmas dinner is a roast dinner in our house, of course, Yorkshire puds. I’m not keen on Turkey so it was slow cooked roast beef and gammon done in separate slow cookers. Both were absolutely gorgeous. Even though my wife is a veggie, she does the most amazing meats. She’s veggie not by principle, but because she doesn’t like the taste of any meat. She’s weird! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 So that's practically unanimous in favour . I'll tell you what I think has no place at the Christmas dinner table , Cauliflower Cheese . Cauliflower if you must , but cheese ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have cauliflower cheese on all our roasts too! and usually extra cheese sauce! The issue we have is that Sue only has roast spuds! where as I like roasties and mash! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary, in ye olden days beef was the poor man's meat, along with oysters. Chicken and turkey were only for the toffs. The only thing I object to being served is red cabbage. Nasty slimy stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
