Spuds were cooked well (totally un-crunchy, but we can't ask for miracles here), sausages tasted a little odd, turkey was dry and chewy (but turkey-ish), stuffing was burnt to a crisp and the peas and carrots were "out of a tin"-style (so Flyingpops would have been happy!)...appraisals around the table peaked in their positivity at "It's alright?" (from KP, with a shrug) and bottomed out with Renemie's "It's awful!"...but it was, at least, better than last year, as I said already...
Plenty of cheese left (!), so I had a bit of stilton and some smoked cheese (which were pretty good)...
...and got a wonderful moulded blue F-14 in the cracker, which I left on the table, abandoned along with everyone else's collected cracker wonderment (to be swept into the bin)...
No pleasing some people then...... but it was free...... and no dowt passed the afternoon with a talking point.....x
ReplyDeleteYes, it was free...and you don't look a gift horse in the mouth... ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, it was free, but so is complaining. At least I got a kick-ass plastic lobster and a paper hat from the lunch!
