I think this is the only one that genuinely beats mine.

I can admit when I've been outclassed. Well played.

Real respects Real.

Game recognise game :datass:

It'll be a COLD DAY IN HELL before a Three-potato Christmas dinner wins :lol:

At least five!

We did, but all of my cauliflower made it's way to my sister-in-laws plate.

We had parsnips, sprouts, carrots, roasted and mashed tatos, yorkshires and stuffing and broccoli (which is hidden under a mountain of food in the below).

After also having a veggie Christmas dinner, I've got say this looks amazing. We always have a mushroom wellington from a recipe from the Crank's bible. Do it every year and its fantastic. Forgot to take a photo though.

Also, this year was my first experimentation with polenta sprinkled on roast spuds. Results were incredible, will do again.

I was very proud of my first Xmas dinner attempt, but Imgur won't upload any pictures from my phone

Is there an alternate service I could try instead?

Go to the desktop site on your phone. In chrome click the 3 dots then "desktop site" check box.

Late to the party, but here was mine.

Looks like everyone had a delicious meal! :toot:

Thanks, let's see if this works...

I recently got a pressure cooker so decided to try it out on a lovely shoulder of lamb yesterday. What would've been 7-8 hours slow roasting in the oven was just over 2 hours in the pressure cooker. I've never had lamb so delicate and the rich gravy made from the juices just brought everything together so perfectly.

Served with double roasted potatoes, cauliflower cheese, pigs in blankets, stuffing, honey roasted carrots and parsnips, and sprouts. An absolute beauty of a roast :toot:

EDIT: It didn't work What am I doing wrong?

Aha! Thanks :wub:

Thank you, it tasted great thanks and we have some of the pie left over for today. :msgreen:

Would've been good to have seen a picture of your dinner, mushroom wellington sounds lovely.

I've got a bit of a food hangover this morning though. Definitely over indulged.

I did, but there was a lot of food on top of it.

Our Asda turkey was rotten on the inside but fortunately we had so much other food it didn't really matter. Will be doing some strong complaining when the store reopens tomorrow though.

some fine food in here.

Just realised I was yet to post our dinner :toot:

Having the leftover meats cold today, with some pate and biscuits, but also having some hot freshly made pigs in blankets.

i didnt take a pic but my dad knocked it out the park as usual:

turkey, sausage meat stuffing inside, sage and onion outside, roast potatoes, chestnut and lardon sprouts, honey roasted parsnips/carrots, cranberry sauce, gravy, mini pigs-in-blankets :datass:

i think i had 3 plates :lol:

Just turned the leftover sprouts, carrots, and potatoes, into delicious bubble and squeak. :msgreen:
