Yes, it seems Sam has missed out on the joy of a full traditional English Christmas meal. Since it was deemed bad luck to have chicken on Christmas day, and Sam could only be cajoled into having one other thing apart from chicken and curry, I compromised and made him a beef burger (I wrapped mine in puff pastry in an attempt to introduce some festive fun into this dish). But I spiced things up by adding pigs in blankets, caramelised shallots and chestnuts to his normal roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings (my kitchen is a no brussel zone).
Things went off to a good start, as Sam seemed pleasantly surprised by the caramelised shallotts after initial scepticism, but things hit a low as he bit into a pig in a puff blanket, and almost spat it out again. Sadly there was not a recovery to be seen with the chestnuts.
Sam's comments:
It was a nice Christmas dinner with delicious potatoes and the burgers were scrumptious, but the melanoma was not very nice (by that, he means the one chestnut he tried! ~ Eva)
Caramelised shallots: 7/10
Pigs in puff blankets: 3/10
Chestnuts: 3/10
