Is a large butcher's bought Pork Pie an essential for Boxing Day?
Can you EVER have yorkshire puddings with Christmas Dinner? |  |

Pork pie, yes. Butchers special, no not really. As long as it’s not one of those lips and trash pies with knuckles and glutenous jelly it’s fine.
Yes, you can! Yorkshire pudding with Christmas dinner is great! My grandmother always served it before the roast dinner in a massive tray with boatloads of onion gravy. It was obscenely good, but made the main course a challenge. [Post edited 17 Dec 2021 18:34]

Porkie, absolutely, I agree got to be butchers, not just for taste but to help a local business rather than the sickening supermarket chains. |  |

No, but batter puddings would be an option - although not one I would take. In this pundits opinion their cubic capacity is a waste of surface area.
I would rather a suet pudding. |  |

Pork pie is a must for us as we're just down the road from Melton Mowbray.
Yorkshire's yes, if having beef but anyone putting tomato sauce on them needs to take a serious look at themselves. [Post edited 17 Dec 2021 18:56]

Don’t mind them at all. They used to be my go to sausage but I tend to go for the apple or leek versions of sausage at the moment. | |

By the way, this is my second year of not being able to travel, I remember last time in China I said that the following trip I would take some videos of the kitchens and share them with you.
Anyhoo - I am missing Chinese hot pot more than anything so I made one the other day and I have to say it was blooming tasty.

You did and I still have the last batch of photos. Interesting it was too.
That looks good to me fella. Decent effort all round there.
I can see the veg obviously but what else is in there? Scallops...
Feel free to email any ideas along those lines. | |

Well the solid bits were tofu, pak choi, some sort of Chinese spinach, a mix of weird oriental mushrooms, rice discs and some turkey.
For the base I made it with turkey stock, chilli oil, spring onions, szechuan peppercorns, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and sh1t loads of crushed dried chillis. [Post edited 17 Dec 2021 19:31]

I thought there was seafood in there but those are rice discs?
Not had those before (I don't think).
A decent Asian store nearby? [Post edited 17 Dec 2021 19:29]

Wrong, so wrong. The sausages have to be traditional high quality (no ground bone, ligament shavings, mechanically recovered scrapings). The chipolata version, absolutely fine. It’s a broad sausage church. | | | |

Yeah, little rice discs, they are lovely. They come freeze dried and you soak them in water for a couple of mins and then just throw them in the pan for another couple of mins, they are a bit like stodgy chewy rice, really tasty I think and they add a different texture.
It’s the first time I’ve attempted to make a Chinese hot pot but I was genuinely getting withdrawal symptoms. Next time I make a batch I would love to send you some as I would value your opinion, it would be an honour to see what you think. I have the cold boxes and I can put it on a 24 hour courier. If you would like it then just give me a nudge in the new year as I forget everything.
I get the basics and fresh veg from and Indian / world store on Cavendish Street, it’s great and you can spend an hour in there. For the rice discs I found them in a Chinese store on Tavern Street. | |

You have my email.
I'll pay the carriage!
I know it's probably not authentic, but that pot there looks like you could drop a raw egg into the centre too. | |

Don’t worry about the carriage, it’s a pleasure to spread the love!
Don’t forget to remind me though as my brain is rubbish.
Man cool! | |

Ah now the ketchup thing first.
I don't like mint sauce or any of the other stuff people chuck onto roast dinners. So I gave ketchup a go. Only on the puds tho not the rest.
And the subway thing... never ever again. It should be illegal to sell that. | |
