Nom Nom!
We only have brussels, carrots and broccoli as the boys will only eat those. Actually, 25 will only eat the carrots.

30 will only eat carrot if is raw. The only thing made by another hand than mine is gravy as I can't stand it and apparently this affects how I make it according to Mr FP.

Yuck! Custard is the same! I do like other sauces. My turkey is beautiful and requires only cranberry sauce and bread sauce. I make them orange sauce with cointreau for the pudding whilst I have brandy butter. When I go for a meal with a large group I always ask the waiting staff when I get there if I have ordered meat to please make sure mine is served without gravy. Sometimes they put it on rather than serve in a gravy boat.
I've made more cranberry sauce and brandy butter today to take for hosts, yum!
Gravy is the best bit of the meal and has to be made by an expert, namely me lol! My step-daughter and some of her friends have down to a fine art now, under my guidance of course. LOL
There were complaints today. Seems the fridge was too full of bits & bobs that needed eating up to make room for Christmas stuff. I take these criticisms seriously so this morning I finished off the fresh(ish) orange juice & downed the last of his Greek honey yoghurt. For lunch I had two crispbreads, one spread with the last of his Boursin-style cream cheese the other with his duck pate. For tea I had a popty ping spag bol followed by the last of the Lidl ice cream. He's cross LOL I think I'd better ignore his egg custard.

FP we must have been separated at birth! I hate gravy and custard too, like you if it's a set meal I always ask for one without gravy which usually proves to be a bit of a palavar and doesn't always work. I prefer my food unadorned so I can fully appreciate the taste and not what has been poured all over it
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right, the only difference is they're wrong
