What is everyone having for their Christmas dinner this year? I'm intrigued to see the variety
Mine is going to be pigs in blankets, stuffing and a potato (random I know)
️ Warning - Post contains graphic images of meat... ️️
My family is part German, so we do Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. On the continent there are a few countries that celebrate Christmas on Christmas eve... having said that we aren't doing an uber traditional Christmas eve...
Christmas Eve: Indian Takeaway (my treat to parents).
Christmas Day: Beef and all the trimmings.
I was going to cookfor my parents tonight... Schweinhaxen, a traditional German dish of Pork Knucle (not as gross as it sounds... its a roasted ham hock) served with either dumplings or potato rosti (German equivalent of a large hash brown). But I did a trial and mum didn't like the smell of the pork that was still present in the kitchen the next day. It's a shame as I got the crackling spot on!!!
Tbf Germans get the best Christmas dinners my 1st ever child hood freind was German and there family were extremely good cooks.
My grandfather died in Germany in World War 2. Sad story.
Oh thank god! Lol. Tbf I did actually laugh, but then I cant pick up humour sometimes, so I thought if I write LOL it might be a bit insensitive... HAHAHA
It was a joke, sorry! I heard someone tell it and it got a very good reaction. Everyone assumes the grandad is British and died fighting... then you have the extremely awkward punchline!
