My husband would love these dessert recipes. Your historical references were, as always, both informative & amusing. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones.
Deliciously informative as always! I have three lunches this year - duck for Christmas Day by myself, goose for when the family pays their Christmas visit, and ending with a Twelfth Night Feast! I'm giving serious consideration to adding your Mont Blanc to the selection of desserts for the last one (trifle, tarte tatin, homemade ginger ice-cream). I tend to get a bit carried away ...
Wonderful to find someone who actually knows the difference between mantel and mantle!
Hope you all have a wonderfully happy Christmas, and may 2024 be kind to you
I'm most impressed you have three feasts planned! Without even knowing what the main course will be, the third sounds as tempting as the first two. So many puddings! Lucky diners.
Fingers crossed 2024 is a better year for all of us everywhere.
Menu for third one is fish pie (cod, smoked salmon, smoked haddock and prawns in parsley sauce, wee swirl of mashed potato, topped off with lumpfish roe), served in scallop shells - just a taste, not a big helping! Followed by roast ham (mustard and honey glaze), roast chicken and my Field and Forest Casserole (venison, pork, red onions and button mushrooms in red wine gravy with oodles of garlic), and selection of veg. I love feeding people!
Yes, I think we're all hoping that 2024 will be an improvement for everyone!

If you hear an unexpected knock at your door, it's me. I can bring my own knife and fork...
You'd be made very welcome!
