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)
So many good foods! Bratwurst (the more popular sausages you get in a roll with curry ketchup on the Xmas markets), schweinhaxen, dumplings, rosti, sauerkraut (the fermented cabbage - which is great for the gut) red cabbage, roast ducks with rich sauces, and a whole host of other regional things... Is it Christmas yet???
Way I've always seen it hunter gstheras carnivores vegateranes would be so screwed if they were cast out into the wild along with vegans cause the majority of there products are man made.
Tbf Germans get the best Christmas dinners my 1st ever child hood freind was German and there family were extremely good cooks.
Lol. Having said that... I'm desperate to try Mutton!!
Hahaha
The only thing I've ever had to kill myself has been fish, like a trout, I think I could probably try to do it. But my issue has always been that I'd be so guilty if I didn't dispatch them completely in the first attempt...
As the saying goes, if you like sheep then you'll love lamb.
:-). I think we as humans are meant to eat meat because of the way our bodies are designed. This is a controversial statement that could lead to a whole other discussion if a vegan or vegetarian reads it. :-) As I said in response to PR, I would feel bad about killing an animal to eat it but if I was brought up in a family that did it then I most probably wouldn't feel the same....
Tbf, if they learnt not to taste so good... :-)
I REALLY enjoy cooking, especially BBQs! :-) I'm a summer baby so for years my bdays were BBQs (each one was themed: greek, German American etc) until we ran out of themes and my mates moved away.
The problem is I always seem to get distracted when it comes to the washing up....
We should try organise a little forum get together around Christmas next year, provided covid finally does one!
We can call the event: An autistic Christmas... loads of food and music but no lights and decorations.... haha
I'd imagine there would be plenty of interesting 'debates' (I won't say arguments) around the dinner table...
For a few years we did the turkey on the BBQ... Learnt it off some aussie neighbours on the army camp in Germany. Frees up oven space. :-)
We don't like turkey because it's a strong taste and dry so we either have chicken or beef or pork with all the usual trimmings. I've never tasted goose or cockerel. I feel bad for eating meat as I love animals but it tastes soooo good. :-)
I'm coming round to yours for Christmas!! That looks yum!!! :-)
Oh nooooo. Do you hunt and kill stuff? :-( I'd only do that if I was stuck on a desert Island and had to do it to survive. 'd still feel very upset though. I guess it depends the way you have grown up. If I had grown up doing it then I'd possibly have a different perspective and less of an emotional reaction to the thought of it..... It'd be fun for me growing up on a farm as I'm highly allergic to animals despite loving them. :-)
Tell that to 14 year old me... I wear glasses now... Haha
As my old priest used to say, you can not beat meat.
️ 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!!!
I feel sorry for you but ironically the vedge is the best bit of the roast on Christmas. It's the one meal I wouldn't object to not have meat with tbf
I'm going to my sister's for Christmas, I eat whatever they eat.
I haven't done any special Christmas food shopping. My only shop today was a 2 litre bottle of milk.
We're veggie. A very high end nut roast but with most of the trimmings people have with a turkey.
Slice of chicken breast, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, carrots, parsnip, cauliflower, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, pickled onions, cranberry sauce, gravy.
