Happy tum Chez Mort. Finished off the rest of the chicken curry with some fluffy Basmati with cardamons and cinnamon. And some rather fine pickle. Delish!  |

Mort, I was pleased with my purchases We had a new supermarket opened last week - therefore we have PRICE WARS!! Which is A Good Thing as one supermarket struggles to keep its customers from the very competitive new one!! Whole Suffolk ducks for £5 as well, although I only bought two portions and very tasty is was too. <satisfied full tummy emoticom> |

Ok, I'm in a pickle. (Not literally, you understand, despite which thread this is.) I'd promised my mum I'd bring a 4-pound sirloin of beef to hers for Xmas. She told me I should order it about three weeks ago. Yeah, yeah, I thought. Pick it up cheap from a butcher on Xmas eve more like. I just checked a couple of butchers today, and THEY ARE ALL SOLD OUT!! They have orders for the stuff going well into January. NADA! I am in the dog poo, unless some miracle happens...  It might have to be a frozen turkey from Iceland.  |

Thanks Ron! They look good - although timely delivery may be a problem! I'm off, family trekking, on Sunday, not getting to my mother's until Christmas Day itself. See, I wasn't planning to roam the country with a side of beef in the boot of my car, now was I? |

Why not get it delivered direct to your mum's?

Martle, seeing as this is an emergency have you checked out, for example, the in-store butcher at your local Waitrose.? Or summat like that? Or there`s waitrose.com/christmasnews .... Is there not a butcher anywhere in your vicinity that has a joint stashed away somewhere? Or near your ma? For exactly this kind of situation. You`ll not be the first or the last!  |

Hmm... on Xmas Eve, it'd have to be. I'll look into that. Cheers, Big R! Mort, yes, and thanks - it's the risk I don't like, though, and I thought there wouldn't be one. This'll learn me. |

Mart, I`ll come clean. So far, I have done nothing at all about Christmas. Zilch. Nada. Nowt. Not even a Christmas card. I am planning a smash and grab raid on the Holloway Road tomorrow, mainly because there`s a decent butcher there and good old Waitrose. Now watch what I laughingly call my strategy go right down the pan  |

Marty, if there is a Waitrose where your Ma lives you can buy on-line and collect from the store so she could pick it up Christmas Eve. Morty, can we know the results of your shopping expedition? I am still undecided as to what culinary delights to prepare  |

Mort, There's an easy solution! Convert to Russian Orthodox. If you start now you'll be way ahead of the game.... |
