Merry Christmas to all my friends, fans and customers!
Contrary to initial plans, I spent Christmas in England instead of America. My plans are now to head back to Los Angeles within early January (if visa plans hold up). :)
So, I had the most wonderful Christmas at home with my incredibly large (and expanding) family. We started the day with champagne, devils on horsebacks and quail eggs with Cornish sea salt. Then my mum made a 26 lb turkey with homemade traditional apple and pork stuffing, chipolatas, roast parsnips, roast potatoes, roast carrots, Brussels sprouts and amazing gravy. We pulledcrackers, doused the pudding with brandy and lit it ablaze and had it with double cream and brandy butter. Later on we ate mince pies with mulled wine. The following day (Boxing Day) my mum made lobster thermidor as an hors d' oeurve followed by 3 roast ducks between 11 of us with braised red cabbage, mashed swede, English peas, apple sauce and again - phenomenal gravy. We finished with trifle and chocolate roulade.
Okay - so out of my non-British friends - how much of the above did you understand? Come on, be honest - not much, right?! I provided links with definitions to some of the above I thought my non-British / non-European friends might not be familiar with.

ReplyDeleteHey - that's not too bad!!! I'm curious which ones you looked up. When I first moved to the US I didn't understand: yams, corn dogs, sloppy joes, tacos, biscuits, chili, white gravy, cobb salad, ranch dressing, Kool aid, pumpkin pie, red velvet cake, waffles, French toast and soooooooooo many other things! :) x
DeleteGreat project! You are truly talented. Best wishes for the New Year! Troy
