Just as an aside, like, I was shopping for dinner tonight and overheard a conversation between a girl and mother via mobile...

"'Ere, they've got some pork lion chops. Would'jer like 'em Mum?"

"How's about some fish? ... Eh? ...  Well, it looks like a fish... but it's got no 'ead on it, innit... been cut off, spose."

"Stuff it... you can 'ave fvckin' pizza if yer goin' to be like that!  "

   Pork Lion Chops! Mmmmmm!

Chicken. I am also baking my Crimbo Cake

That Crimbo Cake 

Step 1: mix and soak fruit and leave overnight. Done 
Step 2: add flour, eggs and nuts. Mix and bake. Done 
Step 3: Turn over instruction page. Store for THREE MONTHS

It will be fine, not quite as tasty as it could be but will still taste good. Remember to feed it. That is the important bit.

As a family we store ours for a year. This started the year Granny forgot she had already baked one.  The tradition has to be continued and it really does taste much richer so three years ago I made two. The next one will be made in January.

[Nick]

Feed it? 

[Pastis]

With booze, like? 

[Bar Wench]

Oh yes! Most of the family use whisky but Brother Wench, Father Wench and I seem to be allergic to it so we use brandy. Stick skewer holes in it and once a week pour the booze over.
