Christmas food - Roast dead animal or...?

[zarniwoop]

Hi All,

(OK not strictly brew food but close enough)

Being a pom it's necessary for my survival that I eat large chunks of dead roast animal on Christmas day, my wife puts up with it unless it's 35C+ (being in Vic helps) but I'd be interested to know who eats what? So what's your food and location?


Cheers

Fresh Clarence River praws,Wooli oysters,cold ham, cold slices of any dead well roasted animals.

Nth NSW is a great place to eat cold,roasted, animals.

ham and salad for me this year - at the inlaws

normally i roast up beef, lemon seasoned chicken, turkey, stuffed roast pork - cold ham with bacon on the side for those after a hard attack (me mainly)

plus green salads stuff for those who wish to prentend they are eating healthy for the day

I'm taking along crayfish, abalone and trout. Think Mum's doing a baked ham while she's down here in Tas holidaying/babysitting my nieces. Should find out if this pain in my wrist I've developed over the last couple of weeks is gout come boxing day.

For me it's Maclay Prawns, Bangalow pork, couple of charcoal roasted chooks and Casino beef roast
And of course a whole lot of sherry laden trifle for dessert

Also in Victoria & also an ex-Pom.

Gone are the days of gorging on turkey with all the trimmings, Xmas pud with custard, mince pies, then playing Monopoly (nothing else to do!), falling asleep on the couch only to wake up in time for Queenie's annual address to the Nation.....

Basically, anything that's in the fridge or freezer (temperature-dependent).

Edit: Having a bad edit-day....

Roast chook or turkey. Traditionally chook in my side of the family, traditionally turkey on my wife's side of the family. But then again my wife's vegetarian.... so bung goes the roast-dead-animal tradition for her. (Any advances on the traditional vegie burgers happily accepted).

try
2 spring onions
450g broard beans
2tbsp soy sauce
1 egg
2 tbsp bread crumb
2 tbsp parsley chopped

add everything else and mix form into burgers cook and serve with a nice yogurt sacue

i have done this with chickpeas mixed with lentals and peas

try bit chilli and corriander for more flavour

That recipie lacks everything available in a dead roasted animal

 

[TimT]

And there's always the classic Tofurkey. One of the wonders of the world: ie, everyone wonders 'how on earth did we convince anyone to eat this stuff?'

Broad bean patties sound pretty nice. Nutmeat is okay too I suppose. For a non-dead-roasted-animal.

I'll be stuffing as much dead animal as I can fit in my mouth at once and will need to empty half a beer glass into my mouth at the same time in order to assist the dead animal to slide down my gullet.

I intend to repeat the process many times throughout the day, until there is either, no more dead animal, no more beer, I'm asked to leave, or I'm carried out with beer soaked, dead animal bits decorating my shirt




Actually, I'd better not do that again.................

Curried goat.
Punjabi style.

I was going to buy some Tasmanian Wallaby today but forgot to go back to the deli due to my alcohol brain syndrome.

My treat is a trifle.
At least you acknowledge it is a dead animal. Most people won't. To them, meat is a manufactured product that super markets sell.

The wifes family have recently made it a tradition to have turducken. Chicken inside a duck inside a turkey. Pretty impressive!

 

[OzPaleAle]

Then the non avian version of the turducken

I could send the wallaby that wiped out the front of my car this morning up for you to curry if you like.

We're going bitsa this year: Vietnamese rice paper rolls, baked fish, meat feast BBQ, whatever anyone decides to bring, but the roasts have been outlawed (just for this year).

Commiserations, hopefully it got tenderised.
