Don't hate me... T'is the Season!

The traditonal "Christmas cake" is always an option, as long as you like fruit cake it is all good.
Christmas Pudding (though that is a pudding, not a dessert) this is like Christmas cake without the icing/marzipan.
"Yule Log", think swiss roll, but with coca added to the sponge and jam/cream replaced with chocolate butter icing cover in chocolate, one of my favourites.
Trifle, the king of desserts imo. Though I prefer the alcohol free ones rather than sherry variety.

Remember puddings are hot and desserts are cold

My wife has made Christmas cake and will be making a Christmas pudding....I like neither.
I will be making a chocolate mousse. It is now a Christmas tradition for me to fill myself to bursting with chocolate mousse.

Thank you Wolfshade and energongoodie
Loving the distinction between pudding and dessert there lol

That yule log does sound tasty but then again I do love a good mousse... So I will look into getting something chocolate sponge based, covered in choccy mousse! I can already feel the pounds piling on... gonna hafta do a marathon this year to work it off

I am currently trying to convince the wife to make a chocolate cheese cake, it's like 700 cal per slice

[dark messenger]

How do you plan to "justify" that? lol
I'd have to do about 50 push-ups just for looking at a slice of that cheese-cake.. but it does sound very tasty..

[Wolfshade]

I don't need to justify anything

By no means an exhaustive list:

Roast turkey
Roast goose
Fried carp
Chestnut stuffing
Mushrooms stuffed with sausage meat and chestnuts
Roast crushed potatoes (in goose fat), roast parsnips
Sprouts with bacon and chestnuts (/fistbump Deadlift)
Onion and tomato pie
Cranberry sauce, bread sauce and gravy
Mushroom soup
Borscht
Ham on the bone


Christmas pudding with custard and brandy butter
Christstollen
About thirty types of gingerbread
Mince pies

I know a lot of people hate sprouts, I think because there is a tendency to overcook them. They turn horrid if they are overcooked, they need to be cooked just so they are soft but not soggy and maintain their texture.

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat. But judging by the quoted list above, not as fat as Eldargirl, who we must therefore assume, to be a fat cow :P

Me? Dunno.

I fully intend to spend Chrimbo day in my scuddies, mooching around my flat doing precious little. Mumsie Mystery is sending a food parcel, but I have no idea what it consists of yet. Probably Turkey crown etc.

Christmas 500+ miles away from your family? Bliss! Dr Who in peace! No moronic relatives to bring me down! Nobody stealing my booze! No crap on the telly, only what I wish to watch! Yes sir I am looking forward to it.

I'm not eating all of it on my own. It's food for around 15 people.

[Mr Mystery]

I think we need bikini pics to make our judgement.

It's the only way to be sure.

And they mostly come out at night. Mostly.
