My continental housemates and neighbours asked me to cook a traditional British Christmas dinner for them yesterday. Although we started with a Polish Borscht with ravioli-like parcels as a donation from some of them, the rest was standard fare. The results were intriguing - everybody liked turkey, some were amazed by sprouts (!), pleased with parsnips, impressed by my cranberry-and-burgundy sauce, and everybody absolutely hated Christmas Pudding, which shocked me to my marrow.
Then they all trooped off to the West Midlands' worst nightclub,
Oceana, while I went to bed, exhausted and old.

May I recommend a thick slice of Christmas cake fried in butter for a minute on each side and then served with good quality vanilla ice cream as an alternative pudding for next time.
