Christmas Lunch – not goose, maybe, but at least it will be meat!

We’re still talking about it but it seems the fish is off.

The decision was made by F going and ordering lasagne – a meat ragù lasagne.  Also with a little more information that I learnt the other day.  He can eat (even likes?) veal.  So, following the information about the ordering of the lasagne and the revelation that all meat is NOT a no-go area, as I was shopping last night, I checked, and they do rolled veal – for roasting.

So, I suggested that, if he would like, I could do a sort of English Sunday Roast – but, instead of beef, use veal (since it is the same meat, after all).  And, so, unless there is a change of heart, that is going to be our Christmas dinner.  I am very happy about that.  I am, after all, a meat eating (and loving) person.  We will also have Yorkshire Pudding with it.  It will be the first time I’ve ever done Yorkshire Pudding for Christmas Day :-)

The discovery of veal being OK also opens up so many more possibilities.

Perhaps, he has just said it for my benefit.  I don’t really know.  It is a possibility.  We shall see if he eats it.

p.s. Yes, I don’t understand why you would pull a face at the mention of goose – and, yet, be more than happy to eat chicken or, worse, veal!  Makes absolutely no sense to me and I really do think it’s just stuck in his head.  Bless him.

    • Hi Gail,

      I don’t know about here, Gail, but in the UK it is not how it was. They are not kept in pens and force-fed like before. And, here, veal is everywhere and almost difficult to avoid. And, in this case, it is the only meat that looks like meat that F will eat, so I am left with no choice really.

      I will come over to wish you a Merry Christmas next week :-)

  1. Hi ANdy-

    I had no idea that veal could be so tasty and tender by any other means of production. Good to know. :-)
    And I will have a glass of wine and some home made treats waiting for you over at my place so we can ‘toast’ the Christmas season
    Love to you
    Gail
    peace and hope…..
