Yeah, all this talk from pineapple enjoyers really makes me want to put this thread on ignore.

God I love chargrilled octopus

Does Jim’s Greek Tavern still exist in Collingwood and is it still to die for? Octopus, scallops, prawns and all of it.

Christmas is about getting pissed and eating too much in a Santa hat.

I'll be manning 2 bbq's with the job of providing protein to an extended family of 40+ loud, hungry wogs.

Will have earned my refreshments when the time comes for me relax and enjoy them.

If you get a whiff of chargrilled octopus, it will be from my house in Melbourne's outer east.

Prick. Not even 11am on Christmas Eve and I'm already hungry for tomorrow's lunch-dinner grazing

Yes.

Until a few years ago, it didn't have a menu. People were offered whatever was fresh.

Gotta love that authentic experience. Delightfully rustic.

* EDIT — "Jim's The Original", in all its years of operating in Collingwood, has never served fkng pineapple. The establishment has a strong sense of duty to its loyal customers.

I hear that lack of adequate pineapple intake is correlated with unmanly calves. Any examples come to mind?

I moved the digit and searched on line. The dude in the photo is the same one, just wrinkles and grey. Has he aged. I’m on a dodge mirror program. No menu. Checkered table cloth. Heaps of food. Just better than magnificent. So many good memories. So friendly to regular customers.

It is what you make it. I had to shop yesterday. The price and quality was difficult. Trolleys, cars, attitudes and booze buses were aggressive. Our world is no presents, no decorations and no hype. Just private friends and family. May your day be a great one.

I love it. Nothing beats the joy of watching my grandkids open their presents. Mum still cooking for 15 of us at 90yo. A seafood feast and everybody being jovial.

Random question but I need some advice. Does anyone have advice for ironing on these jumper numbers? They just dont seem to be sticking? Extra hot iron? Ive got the cardboard between the jumper and baking paper but not having much luck.

That's one of the reasons I hate Christmas. When my kids were little our christmas days were spent dragging the kids around to Grandparents' houses.
Mornings for one lot and arvo/evenings for the other.
Anyway, enjoy your day, Manic it sounds like you're in for a wonderful day.
Mother manic sounds like a treasure.

She's an amazing woman. Broke her hip 4 months ago but that certainly hasn't slowed her down
