Leek pie  cloud9:

I'm cooking the turkey this weekend too.  noooo:

I was only messin' actually. eeek:

Leek  sick2: pie?

Summat not right there.

Thinly slice leeks into rounds. Push the circles out to make lots of 'o's. Fry gently in a little olive oil and butter, when leeks are bright green and soft, sprinkle on a little flour, stirring as you do so to make a roux, Pour in milk, a little at a time, alternating with double cream. Serve immediately either in little tart cases as a starter or without the pastry as an accompanying vegetable. Excellent with German pork sausages.

My bruvvers wife has insisted on me ...and the rest of the Growlers ...cooking summat for their/our tea this coming saturday....Jamie Oliver crap comp type thing, think I've mentioned it before in a previous rant.

Apparently "it's going to be ....fun", and I must join in with the frivolities. ::)

Errr, no it's not, and no I'm not going to. No bloody way. noooo:

If they want fun, they can come out with me into the woods like, and I'll cook a breakfast no problem, bloody southern softies

Take along some popping corn. The children will all love it, nobody can fvck it up and you'll leave your SiL's best saucepan burnt to buggery

Are hard times threatening your Christmas dinner? Well then, Peru has the answer: guinea pig.
Officials in the coastal Peruvian province of Callao hailed the Andean rodent as a low-cost, low-fat alternative to a traditional turkey Christmas dinner.

Guinea pigs can feed seven or eight for about £2, Callao official Mario Sanguinity said.

Guinea Pig dinner for one




But I suspect that for £2 you can buy a lot of Guinea Pigs in Peru ~ apparently they are overrun with the little beggars.
