/ck/ - Food & Cooking

We do a beef roast every year. Usually mashed potatoes and some veg but they want me to make mac and cheese again since it was a big hit on Thanksgiving.

>>6074404
Tentatively: Steak, lobster, Caesar salad, baked potato, wine, beer, bourbon mixed with Coca Cola

>I don't have any experience what so ever with the filling
You can't go wrong with making a stuffing with pic related. It's pretty basic and 1000x better than that Stove Top trash. We usually add chopped shallots... and some other shit I can't remember lol I just made it on Thanksgiving. I'll post if I remember.

plan on doing 2 or 3 ducks for 7 people, what would you recomend?

>You can't go wrong with making a stuffing with pic related.

Yes, you can. It makes in a package. You've already fucked up.

>>6074438
Found the instructions I scribbled down:
>Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix (~2 bags)
>2 sticks of butter, melted
>2 big shallots, chopped
>fresh parsley
>Bell's poultry seasoning
>chicken stock
Basically mix all this shit together. When you go to add the stock, just add it little by little and continue mixing.. don't want to put too much or the stuffing will be too mushy. Then just shove everything up the turkey's ass.

>>6074452
>>2 sticks of butter, melted
I like your style, dude

>>6074450
Oh lord fuck off. If you are generally making everything else from scratch it's not bad to use a shortcut and alter it to your liking. Especially since OP said he has no experience with stuffing/filling.

>>6074438
>>6074452
I'd rather make something from scratch - especially because where I'm from there won't be any pre-packaged stuffings.

thanks anyways

What the fuck should I make for a vegetarian?
Why did my white sister start dating an effeminate vegetarian?
Do they eat potatoes roasted in goose fat?

So angry right now

>>6074461
>white

Meant to say whore

I don't cater to vegetarians. Fuck em, let them go hungry.

>>6074465
Basically this. They can eat the non-meat sides.

Leg of lamb
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Grilled vegetables
Bread

I'm a simple man.

And potato bake. Lotsa potatah bake. I normally get drunk and lose my appetite by meal time so I'm going to go easy on the sauce so I can enjoy the Xmas feast for once

Oh, and my family usually eats a bigass lunch and then eat the leftovers for dinner. Anybody ese do this?

>>6074461
Cheese, vegetables, rice, legumes. Maybe a salad with a vinaigrette, cranberries/raisins, and chopped walnuts.

Doesn't have to be as fancy as what you're making for dinner but as long as he has something to eat you're cool.

Christmas Eve we normally get two of those large cans of chef boyardee and empty them into Grannys cast iron pot and place it on the wood stove to warm up. Every one gets so excited from the smells of it slowly warming up. When it's almost done, we get our breads out and have left the butter warming near the wood stove for at least an hour so it is spreadable. We share alcoholic beverages while we talk about all things that went on in the last year since we have all gotten together last Christmas Eve. It's really great. We shake the presents under the tree with our names to try and figure out what is in them while all wearing our best sweaters. Once it is time to eat, all the bowls are filled with the food and the side plates with sliced bread and butter. We drink our sparkling grape juice and eat and the room goes silent for the next 15 minutes. It is such a blessing. Then we pass around a single slice of 53 year old fruit cake from Great Grandma St George. Bless her heart she was such a great chef. Once the table is cleared off we all go back to talking and laughing and we turn on Mannheim Steamroller album and get busy with it. Great times. Favorite day of the year. Christmas Day though we just normally sit alone my close family and I and we eat ham and cheese sandwiches on those really good rolls with the black seeds on top and the expensive mayonnaise. Last year I got a jar of Reeses brand peanut butter. It was so good.

We have turkey covered in bacon. Then I take the bacon off and break it up and serve with cabbage as no one likes brussels sprouts at home so we don't bother. I make paxo stuffing with sausage meat and bisto gravy and roast potatoes that are never crunchy enough because you can't get the right type of potato where I live and minted peas and carrots gently cooked in a litte butter and their own juices. The turkey is cooked with the tin foil method and left uncooked for the last 20 minutes. I aim for tender breast rather than a beautiful looking bird, it's usually moist as can be. I rest it for about an hour and it's not brined or anything.

We never have space for dessert but we'd have some mince pies and custard as no one likes christmas pudding so what's the point in buying it.

Then grow your own bloody potatoes. It's not hard, irish cunts survived off the shit you described for years before they went IRA

>>6075904
We did that one year. I'm not really sure what we're doing this year. It kind of just happens. We never really do the same thing for Christmas. Thanksgiving is almost always turkey, and New Years is almost always ham or seafood. We've done Chinese takeout, Japanese food, seafood (lots of variations of this), goose, turkey, ham, some combination, a roast, etc.

Been wondering, do Britbongs have turkeys? I thought they were native to America only.

We've got 3.5kg of salmon and 1.5kg beef joint

how do i use them?

>>6076202

yeah and the vast majority of us eat turkey at christmas.

>>6076195
I haven't got a window box in my inner city broom cupboard of an apartment.

>>6076202
Are you really this ignorant?

Dont know yet but it'll be a "we got holiday paycheck get ready liver here comes the tsunami" and whatever our favorite foods are and maybe a cake or cookies from scratch. Family is all separated because parents went out of the country so its just me and my spouse. We're making it an Adults Christmas with alcohol, sex and a new wii u in that order.

>>6076249

Can you put that all that jelly you have there on toast for me?

>So insecure and immature, that you can't play a Nintendo game.

Brits are gonna get spotted dick, that's all that's allowed to them in Englanistan.

>>6076289

jumping into this, I don't play video games, but the reason nintendo is struggling is because all of its products are aimed at small children now. I don't know anyone with a nintendo product in their home who doesn't have young children. whenever I hear childless adults talking about a game system it's a playstation or an xbox.

>>6076289
You're just a twat that can't enjoy a video game, what do you do, go to wine tasting parties like a faggot?

>>6076303
adults appreciate the arts, not videogames.

>>6076307
hahaha
That's what our wives are for, to go to stupid ass artsy things while we claim to work.

>>6076301
Recently when Nintendo realized their goose was fucked they did a 180 and pushed out nostalgia titles and ran back into marios arms and made super mario 3d, mario kart 8 and super smash bros and millenials childhood favorites like zelda and such. Since they did this and the amiibo launch theyve been selling out wii u and amiibos at all retailers. Try finding marth or first wave amiibos the legless peach sold for 25000.
Tldr: I have a wii u under the tree, a Ps4 connected to my 60 in samsung flatscreen and a ps3 in my bedroom with no little tykes touching my shit.
Times are a'changing.

>>6076307
fellini movies too, I've been through those with chicks and have never failed to fall asleep, they're boring and suck.

>>6076323
Don't forget fapping to some of the chicks on /s.

The funny shit is Sony now, it's a jap corp and they say nothing while our media makes a big deal of it. It's a jap corp and the profits go to Japan.

Nothing wrong with that, it's their corporation, what's pathetic is that they expect the USA to secure their corporation instead of them doing it for themselves.

Fucking nip cunts!

They should really do their own job.

They're whiney little jap cunts that can't try to appear as not to be able to do anything for themselves but want to put it onto others.

That was an attack on Sony a jap company, Sony is a not an American company, it's a jap company and japfus should take care of it.

>>6076346
I could see why it is USA's problem because they have a lot invested in the japs so its like a little brother shows up with big brother and still talks shit. Its all about allies just as it was in the world wars. I just dont understand why they folded so quickly over media and not hostile physical actions. But thats for another day and /pol/.

>>6076346
>It's a jap corp and the profits go to Japan.

Sony Pictures is a separate entity which is based in the US. They pay US taxes. The money does not go to Japan.

This is why I still love this place

So I'm thinking of cooking this Christmas, would be for 3 people, but my dumb bitch sister refuses to eat any pork or beef, so what's something I can make for my dad and myself and just a small shitty thing for my sister since she hardly eats anything anyways?

>>6075054
So you feel the same about the endless fast food and restaurant threads on this board? Fuck off.

>>6076375
Not aware of the usd/jpy carry trade?
>failing basic economic understanding

>>6076910
Roast a chicken. Plenty for 2 people.

I ordered some goose brests because i can't be bothered to make a whole bird. Anyone with some good ideas for that?

>>6076923

>>6074404

>>6078646

>>6074441
A honey glaze flavored with sage, lavender and black pepper. I did that for Thanksgiving and liked the results.

I've decided to go with a

Chestnut
Pork Sausage
leek
and root vegetable (carrot, celery root, parsnip)

stuffing, seasoned with salt, pepper and rosemary

>>6078656
