This Boxing Day I shall be serving ‘Jingle Hash’ - aka Bubble ‘n Squeak Xmas style:- Leftover over roasties fried up, chestnuts, bacon, leeks, sprouts. Cold meats (Turkey, gammon slices - cooked in Coke). Cranberry and posh stuffing on the side plus Pickles - gherkin, silverskin onions, red cabbage & fig & honey chutney. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted December 25, 2023 Report Share Posted December 25, 2023 (edited) There’s a thread for pet hates which would welcome your sprouts. Madame Isewater cooks them in a frying pan with a little olive oil and an onion, absolutely delicious.

You can also try this recipe with fried cabbage. Beware though there are some windy side effects a few hours after eating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted December 25, 2023 Report Share Posted December 25, 2023 It's always been an unwanted tradition amongst football fans: the Boxing Day game, with lots of heavy, booze and sprout-fuelled dinners still fermenting away inside. There ought to be a law that some spectators should have a catalytic converter fitted. I personally have a special pocket in my undergarments for a piece of asbestos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant stand Boxing Day games,it’s bad enough when the bloke behind you is shouting shit at a normal game,when the bloke is doing out the other end in the row in front you are trapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
