Yes of course goose, I couldn't remember what it was. A goose is very tricky to cook, it is easy to have it ending up tough. A phenomenal amount of fat comes out of them as well. |

Although daughter says she will cater - we all bring something to contribute - so it ends up a mixture. Definitely have ham - both roasted hot and cold - also some turkey (hot) and chicken hot and cold. We have roast vegies - also salads - and various types of seafood. It's a smorgasbord. Take your pick and sit anywhere, because there are so many of us, we don't all fit around one table so spread out to other tables. This is followed by Christmas pudding with custard, ice cream, cheesecake, trifle, apple pie, fruit salad - again a smorgasbord. |

My OH is very keen on duck, but I don't care for it - we used to have a young policeman as a neighbour, he was into shooting, and was always turning up at our back door with ducks, pheasants, rabbits ugh, |

I forgot about the Christmas cake Berona. I make it and put the marzipan on it, but for years now OH and my daughter have iced it. I was never allowed to see it until they finished. Since she left OH has continued to ice it. He is a bit late this year, but is doing it tomorrow. I think the best one was when they made different coloured icing and cut letters out,so the top of the cake read "Bah Humbug" |

Our fish markets are open for a while very early on Good Friday and Christmas Day. One of my sons and his wife usually go there and we can always count on them supplying beautiful fresh seafood. |

I feel the same, Linda. I like to know that the animal has been killed humanely, as per RSPCA rules. I don't like to think of them being maimed by amateurs. |
