What's the nicest thing you've eaten today?

[mad jew]

Chucked down the usual croissants and tropical fruits for breakfast, the traditional roast turkey (with all the accessories) for lunch and then a BBQ on the beach for dinner. It was lovely.

Well, I was put in charge of the turkey this year so I made a deep fried turducken stuffed with sausages. Then I made a mushroom dressing for the bird. The end result was an amazing feast for about 20 people (large extended family) where nearly the entire 27 lbs of meat was consumed! I can post pictures if people want to see, it truly was an amazing feat.

At my Mom's we had some kind of honey baked ham (bleh), herbed rice from scratch (yum), green been casserole (who doesn't like that), blueberry muffins (mmmmm), scalloped potatoes (not bad)

that cake my friend brought over....
STRAWBERRY cake with cream cheese frosting

I think there was even some cream cheese in the cake itself.

It was so rich and so flipping good!!

while sitting in my living room alone with the light of christmas lights and candels (afterwards, when things winded down) listening to Brian Eno - The Pearl. My personal time for reflection.

Beautiful album (with Harold Budd).
One of my all-time tippy-top favourites.

hmm, the Scottish sliced square sausage for breakfast was good, the haggis in filo pastry parcels as an appetiser was good, the turkey and gammon with the works (including sprouts and parsnips) were good but there were three highlights which get the joint 'nicest thing' award.

1. Christmas pavlova where the fruit (figs, tangerines, dates, pineapple) are marinated with cinnamon and cloves to create a really festive flavour.

2. Christmas fruit cake (home-made) laden with Ameretto

3. After dinner, tablet. A bizarre ultra-sweet candy made from condensed milk and sugar. Horrifically sweet but served in little 1/2 inch squares and one is really enough.

Bloody hell — you must feel absolutely stuffed to the gills!

The nicest thing I've eaten yesterday, or today? Can it be related to food stuff?

My favorite of course is mashed yams sprinkled with honey glazed almonds. Yummy! I have this only once a year at Christmas time, so its the nicest thing I have.

After reading a sample of the foods eaten yesterday, it won't be long before we see the "I need to lose holiday weight" thread.

Unfortunately, I missed out on some good reading?

Anyway, when I first read the thread title, I did think of eating a certain non-foodstuff, and posting my holiday experiences of it, but I didn't want to head this thread down a path from which it would not recover.

Really, the thread title is too suggestive. I am a little hot and bothered right now.

Right now (9.45 am) the best thing so far that I have had is the coffee with coco.

Your Christmas Meal sounds very nice. Looks like German and Austrian Influence, not the prawns though.

How do you write "Schnitzel"????
Are we talking about this flat porky thing, fried in a pan (most likely with some bread crumps around)?

Ok so I misspelled it... I can be forgiven, after a meal like that I am happy that I could type at all
and they were veal not pork, and the cultural background is slovak and austrian, the prawns are a compromise for me since carp is also traditional but I can't eat fish so prawns, they are fish-like...
