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 Andy
I so love veal – even though I know how those little calves are treated so horribly –
“Merry Christmas Andy”
Love to you always
Gail
peace……
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
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…..
Sounds like a good plan, Gail
