Christmas dinner - I want it to be stress free!!!

I'm glad you got sorted. Could you please let me know who the supplier of your prepared fish is, It sounds just what I need for Christmas eve. I have a crowd to feed and I wont finish work until eight, so I can do without extra fuss. thanks

Thanks!
The fish is a huge tilapia from cuisine africana. They are near Lakeside. It's very spicy though but tastes amazing.

Hostess trolley! I find the prep fine its the timings, in and out of the oven I end up drinking too much waiting for things to be cooked at the same time

I agree with this. They may be dated, but they are an awfully good idea at Christmas. My mum has two

Yorkshires with christmas dinner!!! are you a heathen?
Whats next suggesting the use of ready made Yorkshires? :mad::mad::mad:
My grandma would be spinning in her grave at the mere idea, and if she was here she would take to you with a wooden spoon until you learnt there error of your ways.

The only time you should serve Yorkshire puddings is as a starter, ideally the size of a dustbin lid cooked in an aga using beef dripping and served with lashings of onion gravy

None of this serving it with the main meal nonsense, remember Yorkshire folk have deep pockets and short arms , and the idea was fill you up with cheap to make yorkshires so you needed less meat for the main course.

My Dad's from Huddersfield so we always used to have our Yorkshires before the Sunday roast. I've never managed to make them as well as my Mum does and my gravy isn't a spot on hers either.

Yorkshires with turkey are you completely insane !!!!
And I'm a soft southerner..... : )
Bread sauce , pigs in blankets, TWO types of stuffing, roasties and yet more roasties, cranberry sauce and extra bacon !
The turkey is just there to give you a reason for all the lovely things that go with it. Aaah if only someone else was cooking it for me.....

Lol...ok maybe M&S left the Yorkshires out of the Christmas section for a reason:rotfl:

I'll make an extra place for you at the dinner table 😉
