    Right. When we took it out of the tray the meat part was in quite a solid mass. It wasn't just liquid as with most pies. Even so and at this late stage I was against bunging it on a baking sheet and into the oven. I was outvoted.
    All I'm saying is the instructions should have said "Remove all packaging but leave in silver tray". I'm secretly hoping Mr Bell will take pity and send us a voucher.
    The pie was good - well filled with steak.
    Aha quality story that!!

    Well at least on the positive side maybe your vote might count for more next time around

    You really need to learn to cook
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    I genuinely could produce a good meal in a heartbeat. Not sure I could tell someone that I am taking over in their home sadly.

    You’ve got to get them to yours next time and shoe them how it’s done? That sound horrendous- I can’t believe anyone would use bacon lardons as a sub for kilted sausage. Straight red card and sine die ban for that alone.

    What does the wife say about it? Is it one of the situations where she thinks it’s normal cos that how she was brought up?

    Couple of years back my mate drove from lincolshire to Kent to his mother in law's for xmas dinner. Wasn't looking forward to it.

    On the journey down he said to his wife that he wasn't looking forward to seeing ******* burnt sausages on the plate as usual.

    When the dinner arrived his 5 year old who'd been in the back of the car picked a sausage off his plate and said Dad,dad it's ******* burnt sausages again. There was only about a dozen folk at the table

    They are in Ireland and obviously we are in Scotland. See to be honest, I’m not going over next Christmas. Apart from seeing the joy on the the kid’s faces it’s quite frankly all about the Christmas dinner for me.

    They can’t even talk properly, they all just grunt and gesture and literally shout when communicating.

    I had very little to do with dinner this year, but I was out voted and we had Turkey. The boys brined it for 36 hours, cooked it upside down, flipped it, rested it and it was still dry.

    It’s turkey. It’s crap. It can get in the sea. Even then it wouldn’t be moist.

    As can sprouts . Unless you lather them in bacon fat they’re just ****.

    I think there is a reason we only really make turkey a centrepiece dish once a year. If it wasn't for it being tradition I'm sceptical many people would choose to eat it.

    I had to throw something together last minute this year and just opted for a big chicken, paid a bit more for a corn fed, free range, gets a massage and a can of lager every hight one from the butchers and it was infinitely better than any turkey I've ever had.

    The biggest issue with turkeys is they are selectively bred to have a ludicrous amount of white meat on them now. Much like supermarket chickens that inevitably leads to a reduction in tenderness and flavour.

    Grew up the son of a butcher and we never once had a Turkey for Christmas dinner, as an adult I have never cooked one at Christmas either.

    Sprouts are brilliant, the best part of the meal along with stuffing IMO.

    I genuinely think turkey is my favourite meat. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that concurs admittedly 😁

    Sprouts, almost cooked, mashed into crispy lardons or crispy bacon and chestnuts...... refried and finished with cream ...... the dog’s bollocks.

    There’s not a chance in hell I’m doing it next year. Lamb and maybe a goose.

    Cook down some cranberries and let them cool then mix into some melted butter. Ease up the turkey skin and smear the mixture all over the top of the breast. Lovely succulent tender turkey.

    Another year and another plate of absolute ***** served up at the in-laws. Absolute *****!

    How do you break it to the wife that you simply can't stomach it every year?
    Good luck for this year 🤣

    Brother in law has started the Turkey brining process for the year.

    I look forward to it still being dry despite days of faff.

    I wanted to get goose and ham but I was out-voted.

    Just read back through this thread as it’s an old favourite of mine.

    The “eating the sticky toffee puddings as they are to save cooking them” has to be an all-time Hibs.net highlight.

    I'm on pudding and veg duties this year. We are having 2 dinners, buffet style affair at my sister's today as she is working tomorrow then a full dinner tomorrow at my parents.

    Raspberry pavlova and a Bailey's cheesecake made this morning. Thankfully my sister is going down the chicken route rather than turkey. Turkey, as per my previous posts on this thread, is ***** and if it wasn't for tradition no one would eat it.

    I’m making a trifle this year.

    How many different ways can you get booze in?

    Sherry in the bottom with the ladyfingers, baileys in the custard, amaretto in the cream?

    I’ve done the jelly already and would probably draw a line at putting vodka in it.
