Food, Drink & Dining Out Christmas Lunch

[MCXIV]

Amazing working with poms at the moment who still insist on a British roast and gravy for tea, aka dinner time. I've lived in Australia only and I know it's too hot. I don't know how poms from shitty towns deal with the heat on average here but making it warmer up in Joondalup when you can't even swim? Idiots.

I'm not religious and my family don't even celebrate Christmas. But your post is spot on. Not just turkey (cold cuts would be nice), but they roast turkey and they roast ham then roast their vegetables and then eat hot plum pudding...in summer during the day! It's like the cultural crossover hasn't reached certain Anglophiles.

It wouldn't be a big deal as an adult, but you must have felt like you missed out as a kid?

Yep. Jealous as all hell.

Still had an "end of year family get together" to have a meal together and give each other a gift to say thanks for a great year. But I think it was done through gritted teeth for a couple of kids and a couple of old people who got caught up in the atmosphere.
