Christmas Food?

[Robin]

A bloke I worked with - Wooller born and bred so hardly Yorkshire - liked cheese with his Xmas cake, but there again he also reckoned you should grind black pepper on strawberries ......

Oh yes, my father did that as well.

Looking through those food combinations, it is hardly surprising that diabetes and obesity is on the increase. 😱
That said, there can't be many combinations more calorie dense than Christmas cake and cheese but at least it is limited by it seasonality.

people that eat them might not eat them all the the time.

Cheese? With Christmas cake!??? Is that a thing?

Where’ve you been living LOL? It’s lush!

My daughters used to dread staying at their Grandparents for too long after Christmas as there was the inevitable 'boiled up bits' which they hated. It was a sort of soup cum stew of all the left overs which was cooked up on the Rayburn

Hi , Strawberries with a very very very small amount of black pepper are superb.( Much sweeter )

Did, bite of cheese bite of Christmas cake, yes it was very nice but as I like both cheese & cake it's not surprising really.

With actual Christmas cake? Icing and all that??? Where in the world are you?

Ive been a really good cook for decades and this years Christmas cake was the tops. I tried Going on strike Christmas 21’ got lot of ag from family ‍ I cut down on the marzipan and icing, changed SR flour to almond flour, put in sugar substitute but, you can’t sub the whisky glass of cherry brandy in the dried fruit or the dried fruit - yet🙂 Yeah I I did eat it, thin slices at lunch time didn’t shove my numbers up But, I fell off the wagon due to the ole man who’s a pain in the proverb, typical of his astrology sign, lives to eat, so he was the devil incarnate and I succumbed, so now having to get back on the wagon so to speak. I’m a carb controlled with empagliflozin T2D
