Meat. Favourites; Wiener Schnitzel, or Reindeer steak, Venison/ pork/beef steak.
Vegetables: Potatoes - mashed or chips (not too greasy); green beans; peas (lightly boiled, not mushy)

Sweet - no longer supposed to have anything too sweet/sugary. Used to like rhubarb crumble & blackcurrant pie.

But top favourite is fresh fruit, especially raspberry, strawberry, apricot, plum or nectarine.

Never eat reindeer! Santa will put you on the naughty list.

If someone cooks it, Xmas dinner but no sprouts, plenty carots, parnips, brockoli etc etc and lots of gravey. Xmas pud and brandy butter 2, mushroom soup to start. Also enjoy a lot of Pasta, mainly tomato sauce based ones with meet or vedge and good hearty food e.g chicken and vedge, saussages, propper pies. Takeaways chinese is the favourite.↲

Oh and if eating out, Italian, Chinese or pub grub but not as into the whole Gastropub thing, more a traditional village inn type of man or one of the chains - Brewers Fare, Vintage Inns, Orrigional Pub Company, spoons etc↲

I had a very nice Kangaroo burger on Monday. Have also tried Guinea Pig in Bolivia which was a bit boney and Chickens feet in Hong Kong which just seemed a bit pointless, ha ha, the source was nice though.

For me I think it would be toad in the hole. It needs good quality sausages and too much batter can easily ruin it.

I think any meal can be improved my the inclusion of Yorkshire Puddings.

Although I am prepared to allow a Breakfast to omit them if it includes pancakes made with the same batter.

One of mine is fresh home-baked bread, buttered, dry cure ham (I like Blacky ham, nice & smoky), creamy Red Leicester cheese, tomato, (optionally) cucumber, a bit of mayo, & a packet of Worcester Sauce crisps.

I believe that tray-baked flat Yorkshire Pudding was served with golden syrup as a dessert in some areas of north Manchester in the years after the early period when rationing came to an end.

When I mate them for my roast, I always make twice as many as needed. The spares being for dessert with syrup.

Does anyone else have Yorkshire Puddings as a separate course (before the main meal)?

I think originally, when money was short, the Yorkshire Pudding was eaten before that main meal to fill one up somewhat so less meat etc was needed.
