The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

Then they expect you to eat this:

So fortunately for you all, I’m away running workshops for most of this week and then am off to Portland for most of next so this could quite possibly be the only post for the next couple of weeks.

Well, I say that, but given some of my workshop exercises involve me getting the participants to spend 2 hours doing stuff so I can go and potter about, maybe I’ll find the time to write some more inane drivel … at least for this week.

Anyway, on the off-chance my client reads this and insists I stay in the room for every minute of every hour of every day … I thought I’d cram in a little bit of fun and do a ‘BEST FOOD AT CHRISTMAS’ challenge.

I was going to do it like the classic ‘best meat’ competition of a few years back, but as that involves setting up agendas and specific polling booths, I thought I’d do it the easy way.

Below is a list of classic Christmas grub.

We have main course, dessert and – as a mindfuck [because I’m crazzzzzy] a christmas cracker … not the ones you put cheese on, but the ones you pull for a crap gift, crapper joke and stupid hat.

I was going to add in peanuts, brazil nuts and quality street, but I decided I couldn’t be arsed.

Anyway, all you have to do is vote for which one you think is the best/most important item that makes the food on the plate a meal of ultimate Christmas joy and if you want to give an explanation why in the comments, then be my guest.

If you have blogs, maybe you’d like to write something about it and try and get people to vote for your particular favourite – see how big we can make this – but I know it’s pretty weak and you have better things to do with your life, so feel free to ignore this final request like you ignore pretty much everything I say.

So ladies and gentlemen, start your forks and taste buds and decide which food item deserves the title ‘KING OF CHRISTMAS GRUB” and I’ll appoint the winner on my return this Friday.
