What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[CAPSLOCK]

Its more than Poland

The Czechs, at least, share the custom and the 24th is their big day

[Bruce Rioja]

When I'm in Germany and, if on the menu, I always opt for Zander (which is described as being a cross between a pike and a perch). Absolutely delicious.

Can't seem to buy it over here for love nor money. Anyone?

[Il Pirate]

.

Now then, Tesco are selling Mirror Carp. What the bloody hell do I do with THAT!

Reflect you should have left it in Tesco?

Soak it in a bucket of water for 12 hours to take out the mud. Unless Tesco has helpfully done this first. Then poach it with milk. Still tastes like sh*t mind...............

[Bruce Rioja]

Well, the working year is over and tonight will see me crack open the first of the Christmas Champagne. The Billster has been speaking highly of this stuff from Aldi, Veuve Monsigny, so it'll be getting a ronout later along with my home-made lasagne.

Also, if anyone's in the market for quaffing Champagne, Asda on Middlebrook are knocking this stuff called Pierre Carcys out at just under a tenner a bottle. I've bought one but don't know if it's any good yet.

The fridge not necessarily the best place to store - and especially not red wines.

I'm detecting with my investigative prowess that this is in actual fact meant for Tango in a different thread, no?

[TANGODANCER]

Fry-up night tonight. Bacon, sausage, beans, mushrooms, fried egg and fried bread. Do for me.

Correct!!!

[Prufrock]

On our weird Christmas Eve tradition of pizza again this year. Pulcinella's. Also, bought th'owd fella a bottle of that Dao stuff William is always banging on about. Kwop- fiver. Better be good. Will have to have a little taste with him

[CrazyHorse]

Pork pie and Stella.

[KeeeeeeeBaaaaaaab]

Curry. And Kronenbourg Draught Systeme. One with a widget inside. Easily the best lager I've ever tasted outside a pub.

[Lord Kangana]

Spot of Quinta de Azevedo Vinho Verde. Winner of white wine of the year in The LK Wine Awards.

Can't drink too much, as I have work in the morning you feckless bastards.

[TANGODANCER]

Wife's just cooked turkey and ham for tomorrow...and won't let me near them

[Hoboh]

Indian food style buffet soon washed down with Bud and some chilien white wine, good wines from Chile without the snobbery of French.

[Lord Kangana]

I'm having a spot of Medoc (Tour Saint Bonnet 1/2 price at Tesco £6.99). And a few bits and bobs. Alright at this price, wouldn't pay full price for it though. Still to be convinced by Tesco wine selection and price. Perhaps I should stop persevering? Everywhere else was shut though, so no choice.

Off to the Co-op - what time do they open?

[TANGODANCER]

Daughter just dropped me off a bottle of Gonzales Byass medium dry Amontilado sherry. Not totally a dry lover, but it'll get sampled tonight amongst other things as the wife bought a bottle of Mojito and some mint leaves. Bottled Mojito is a nice drink but tried some mixed in a Cuban place in California a couple of years ago, supposedly the real deal, and nearly choked on all the foliage.

[William the White]

Tonight, at midnight, champagne.

Happy New Year!

[KeeeeeeeBaaaaaaab]

Steak. Frites (yes, frites. Let's give thin chips their due). Pepper Sauce. Simple, effective, beautiful. Sums up the year.

[Little Green Man]

Split pea and ham soup. Homemade - yum. Then the last of the decent mince pies and the first of the damson gin bottlings, done this time with some cinnamon and lemongrass, just for the sheer hell of it. Mmmmmmm...
