ChezGiven 0 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 No I was doing the veg, carving the meat, sorting the gravy, keeping the potatoes warms etc and making sure it was served nicely. Didn't have time to capture it in all its glory. There's still loads left, if it makes a good photo before lunch tomorrow will take a snap. It was the gravy that distracted me really, so much fat to take out and was doing that and veg at same time to make sure it was all piping hot. All worth it though, the crackling went down a storm.

Gemmill 34775 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) It was fucking magnificent. Crackling was perfect on the high side of the roast, less good towards the bottom. Did an apple sauce so didn't do ausman's Normande cider thing. The meat was ridiculously good, was a 4kg piece so roasted it for 5 hours, could have done more. The wine was amazing (savigny les beaunes) and we had a tarte tatin for afters so I opened the half bottle of 1989 Sauternes premier cru which was a gift from the father in law. Rounded off with 1991 Coal Ila Mackillops choice. Fucking lush. "Llllllet's take a sllllooooiiiiiice."

Meenzer 14097 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Whereas I dug out a near-forgotten tub of lentil and spinach curry from the freezer and wrapped it up in parottas. Tons of coriander, gorgeous earthy flavours but it looks like diarrhoea so I won't be providing photos either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill 0 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I've always preferred unsliced white for fish finger butties. I think that would be acceptable. Stottie is my preference though. And smothered in ketchup, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was our last social "come dine with me" competition as it happens and it was for 11 and we won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
