  • Christmas Dinner BACKGROUND Joanna Carter As in Many Countries, Christmas Dinner Is Very Important in England
    Christmas Dinner BACKGROUND Joanna Carter As in many countries, Christmas dinner is very important in England. The main meal is usually eaten at lunchtime or early afternoon on 25th December. In the past, people ate roast sirloin of beef but nowadays a typical dinner consists of roast turkey or goose, served up with stuffing, bread sauce, cranberry sauce and gravy. Stuffing is put inside the turkey and is made of bread crumbs, sausage meat, onion and herbs and spices. Bread sauce is a white sauce to pour over the turkey with bread crumbs, cloves, nutmeg and cream in it. Gravy is simply the ‘juices’ that come out of the meat while it’s cooking and cranberry sauce is like sour jam made from….. cranberries! Many vegetables accompany the meat such as peas, carrots, beans, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, roast potatoes and parsnips. Parsnips are vegetables that look like big yellow carrots but taste more like potatoes. Some people have Yorkshire pudding with their Christmas dinner. This is also traditionally eaten with roast beef and is a type of savoury cooked batter. If you are still hungry after all that, Christmas pudding and mince pies follow the main course. Christmas pudding, otherwise known as plum pudding, or figgy pudding dates back hundreds of years in Great Britain. It is a rich mix of dried fruits such as raisins and figs, nuts, flour and brandy and is round and dark brown when cooked. The pudding is usually made some weeks before the festive period and all the members of the family should stir the mixture with a wooden spoon and make a wish.

Roast beef at succulent beef my mother’s house in England remains a celebration, the centerpiece of the family Sunday lunch or a winter dinner for friends. My home was in Yorkshire, the region famous for the best accompaniment to BY ANNE WILLAN roast beef, Yorkshire pudding. The crisp cup of batter pudding filled with gravy was always at least as good as the meat itself. Other side dishes always included crisp potatoes, roasted until golden in drippings from the meat, and horseradish sauce made from the freshly grated root stirred into whipped cream. When I moved to the United States, I was de- lighted to find the beef here is as good as that from England. By buying the best meat available, roast- ing it carefully, and adding the traditional accompa- niments, beef becomes a feast.

  • Roast Rib of Beef on the Bone with Yorkshire Puddings
    Roast rib of beef on the bone with Yorkshire puddings A rib of beef is an excellent cut for roasting and perfect when you’ve got to feed a crowd.
