FFF55. Simple supper

I love to watch the many TV chefs. They inspire me to try new foods or make different meals. Some impress, some overwhelm and some create dishes I could never hope to copy. But of all the cooks, the one I’d want to invite me to dinner is Nigel Slater.  I love his simple suppers!

An advent calendar of sorts Day 18. Turkey and all the trimmings

Beef Wellington
Beef Wellington. Yule 2010

So what do you have with your Christmas turkey? In fact, do you have turkey at all? We'll be having roast beef for our Yule dinner, with Yorkshire puddings and lots of horseradish sauce and roast potatoes and there have to be parsnips. I might do a few sprouts, because it's traditional, isn't it? And we'll end up having bubble and squeak for breakfast on the twenty second to use up the leftovers.

Christmas Day itself we're going out for a curry - albeit quite a posh one - so we won't be doing turkey at all this holiday season. That means we'll miss out on the stuffing, the chipolatas and the cranberry sauce. And does anyone still eat bread sauce?
