Yum, yum.

What did you eat on Christmas Day?  Are you a turkey traditionalist, or did you go for a goose?  Funny how things have changed over the centuries - if you had goose you would probably be seen as "posh" and yet a couple of hundred or so years ago, goose would have been what the common man would have had (think "A Christmas Carol") whereas turkey was uncommon and expensive and only for the rich.  Or maybe you went for the more exotic, and had a three- or four-bird roast? I have to say that the thing I look forward to most at Christmas dinner is not the poultry at all, whatever it may be, but a slice or two of a nice baked ham with a honey or marmalade crust.  Why we only get that at Christmas I don't know but it works for me.
