    Lunch at my desk of takeaway pho. It was better than it looks. All the nice stuff has sunk to the bottom of the soup container.

    Chicken satay, cucumber with goma dressing, tomato lalab, sticky rice. The peanut satay sauce didn't make it into the photo as it was still warming up on the stove.

    Off the charts healthy ^. Merry Christmas Tom. I have a Greek feast to do tomorrow. Very hot here in Queensland as usual at Christmas so it will go down well with frozen boozy frozen drinks with mangoes or strawberries and the pool. Too long a list to mention of what we are having and I never worked out how to put pics on here after so long lol.

    Chicken rendang pulled out of the freezer. Cucumber with commercial sesame dressing. Tomato lalab . Baby gem with ranch. I now use the Food Lab tip of keeping a variety of homemade salad dressing in squeeze bottles. It is easy to do a variety of salads. Just shake and squeeze so you don't even need to dirty a spoon.

    Where is everybody's Christmas dinner? I was looking forward to seeing that.

    We're doing ours tonight on Boxing Day because it easier to have friends round because there is no public transport in London on Christmas day itself. Yesterday made pate with the goose liver, stock for gravy with the goose neck, giblets, heart, wing tips and wishbone. Made the bread and sausage meat stuffing. Dry brined the bird and pricked holes all over the skin to help render off fat. This morning I made the meringue for winter pavlova, and melba toast for the pate. So tonight it is just a matter of bunging the bird in the oven with a casserole dish of the stuffing (because I read it gets too greasy when you stuff the cavity of a goose) and putting in parsnips and chicory in to roast. Will make gravy while the roast is resting. I am using store bought cranberry sauce. For dessert I still need to whip cream and get hubby to peel and slice pears to assemble the pavlova.

    We went back to the vegan restaurant downstairs. I had one of those newfangled engineered hot dogs. Indistinguishable from a meat hot dog.

    ^^ I agree it seems to be one of the most successful texture and flavour dupes. Even the Sainsbury’s own brand frozen range meat free hotdogs are indistinguishable from a standard hotdog!

    I dont agree. Have that fake meat without any topping and sauces. Thats the only way you can compare to the real thing. You will quickly notice that nope, nothing like it.

    Quite honestly, I think it’s all relative! I’m no expert on a ‘proper’ hotdog...to me a hotdog sausage is a tinned/chilled cabinet processed smoky’thing’ served in a long bun with ketchup, some form of mustard and fried onions if I’m feeling fancy!

    Pretty sure that in England we don’t care about hotdogs like you guys in North America! I’ve read such hotly debated things about mustard/relish/pickles depending on whether it’s a NY dog or a Chicago dog (those are the two I recall being compared)

    Anyway, to me, the fake hotdogs are at least as good as those probably dodgy things that are not made of ‘fake’ 😂

    @BarbaraHelen2013 - this New Yorker can’t stand hot dogs!! I leave them for everyone else. I actually don’t know a lot of hot dog eaters..unless it’s the 4th of July here...
    By the way - last time I was in London-/ I saw a lot of currywurst in buns! A close kin to hot dogs no?

    😉

    This is almost month late which is not my usual, but a currywurst is a sausage, normally sliced, with curry (powder) flavored ketchup topped with curry powder. It's popular in, among other places, Germany. I saw it plenty of times when I was living in Germany and less so in Austria, but never actually tried it. Mostly because I only like ketchup on fries.

    Lunch at my desk. The healthier takeaway options near the office weren't open today. Ended up at Shake Shack.
