Roast your own spuds or shop bought?
I say this as an avid ‘own spudder’ who bought some Aldi roasties in goose fat last week which were heavenly.

Cook your own in Goose Fat and it will probably be as heavenly if not better.

Same here, we have never eaten out on Christmas Day before but giving it a go, but the wife always does her own, shop bought can never compete.

Home roasted spuds, always. I do roast sweet potatoes too, lovely.
I've never eaten a roast dinner out that I have enjoyed more than one I cook at home

From an ex butcher.... Chicken and turkey. Put some water in the roasting tray/dish you WERE going to put the bird in. Put the oven shelf over the said tray/dish. Place the bird breast side down and cook as per your own experience tells you or instructions on the oven shelf and not in the dish/tray. When the bird is cooked take out the oven shelf and place on a rack that allows juices to drip through. Cover with a few layers of foil and three or four tea towels to rest. You should by then have the spuds par boiled and drained. Place spuds in hot beef dripping, goose or duck fat or alternatively drizzle with olive oil for a vegetarian low fat option. Roast until you’re happy. Drain the fail or oil and put back in the oven on full blast long enough to steam the veg. By the time the veg is steamed the spuds crisp up even more. When roasting upside down, even the cheapest shabbiest bird will come out with juicy breast meat. What fat there is on a bird is on the back which filers down to the breast when cooking. The bird covered will relax while the spuds and veggies are cooking. Enjoy.

Same. Then I went to the Hawksmoor. Best £20 I've ever spent on a meal.

Yorkshire puddings must be had with any dinner involving a roast meet.
