They did as well as they could, considering it all happens Christmas Eve for them.

We’d the dinner at half nine, though, my dessert was two Rennies.

  1. It’s not a traditional Xmas dinner, but looks lovely. I’d prefer gravy instead of whatever the potatoes are slathered in (butter?).

  2. Lucky man!! I saw another poor fella here who had a Swedish lad cook for him. Cold fishy dinner

  3. Many years ago a German friend proudly cooked us something they called German mashed potato. It was a gloopy combination of potatoes and cheesy sauce that did not appeal to our Irish taste buds. Your picture is bringing back bad memories.

    On the topic of rennie. In Germany you can only get them by asking a pharmacist for them. And sometimes the pharmacist acts like you’re asking for neurofen plus. Have you taken it before? Do you know the correct dose?

    BTW, they don’t accept “some” as the correct dosage. And that is the correct dosage. You take some. If it’s still acidy, you take some more

  5. That part of the world like cheese sauce. Lets say the broader Germanic world. Maybe for a cheese fondue, but otherwise what a terrible thing to do with good cheese. Cheese + potatoes + chicken. No thanks.

    This looks more appetising to me than our traditional Christmas dinner. Never been a fan.

    Thant chicken looks great and the spuds look perfect. Eat the peas with a buttery spoon of the spuds and you’re away.

    Poor you, having your in-laws cook for you, trying to please you with food they would not usually prepare. Are you really looking for an avalanche of sympathy? I spent Christmas Day visiting my mother who has finally had to go into a nursing home. My dinner was a sandwich I brought myself. A sandwich and sadness. All previous 20 years, I cooked us a lovely dinner, and we were at home together. I hope you thanked your in-laws properly, and I hope their attention is never brought to this post.

    Was the Christmas eve dinner any better , I hope you live a long and happy life with your partner just as long as they know it’s the last German Christmas!!!!

  9. Do they do anything special on Xmas day? As usually in continetal Europe, Xmas eve dinner is the big deal.

    That’s actually a good effort. A roast is alien to them. I was given pizza when I went to Germany for Christmas
