Great with caraway seeds in the seasoning, too.

I enjoyed Cadfael brand Poppy Juice long ago.

I have kept on watching that show. I do a little puppet dance along with the theme tune.

There's a pub in Bath that makes beautiful rare beef sandwiches - a great accompaniment to beer.

Seeing "The Young Ones" on here makes me sad about Rik Mayall all over again. He is brilliant in the recent "Man Down" too.

Midsomer Murders is great for betting on the number of killings (and we allow 0.5 for an attempted murder).

Isn't it awfully nice?

Unfortunately, that was untrue (as was the another character called "Roger the Cabin Boy"). It's a common urban myth among Brits of my generation.
However, the show was called "Captain Pugwash".

This weekend is not Thanksgiving here (UK), but I don't care.

For me, the equation has two factors - frequency and extent of "ahhsoleishness". Try not to be too frequent or too big an asshole and you'll be alright.

We had a party last weekend, and I made (amongst many other things) some vols-au-vent with a horseradish and wasabi filling, topped with Scottish smoked salmon. That was delicious. The "pepperiness" offsets the salmon's richness beautifully.

I've not had duck at Christmas since university (when I cooked a roast for my flatmates).

Never any pigs in blankets left for Boxing Day.

We went to see "Funny Girl" in May. It just happened to be the first night of Smith's breakdown. The under-study was amazing.
To be fair to Sheridan Smith, she is a great actress. "Two Pints…" was terrible though.

Because it's good?

"Gavin & Stacey" was pretty good - he was the co-writer and acted in it.
I also enjoyed "The Wrong Mans".

I usually eat too much at Christmas Dinner to get drunk.
Maybe Immodium would be my Boxing Day pharmaceutical of choice.

Nuns of Anarchy?

Ham is for Boxing Day in my house.

No flavour > flavour, as far as I can tell…
