Dat deboned stuffed snapper sounds like a winner. I don't know but if june plum is in season I would suggest june plum juice and brul jol with crackers as an appetizer...one of mi alltime favorites.

"I love yuh food so don't find me rude

Impressive as usual! Very very impressive.

"Sliced smoked turkey and avocado sprinkled with chopped cilantro - with tamarind sauce"

Interesting, encouraging item. My mouth is watering at the combination of avocado, cilantro and tamarind. You always inspire: A culinary blend i must try. Do you add some lemon with the cilantro to open it up?

Well done sis.

Di tamarind does di job but a cilantro lemon sauce would be nice. Tested this on some friends recently and they loved it. We've had a bumper avocado season this year.

Actually, I was suppose to come there next month...My nephew's 13th birthday and the family is going to celebrate it there. But things came up and I can't make that anymore.
I think I'm getting more picky of what I'm eating these days. I went to a party last night, and the variety of foods that was there. B4 I would take everything and stuff myself, but I only took alittle of shrimp choumain and chicken fried rice and I was good.
btw, they had pork, but I pass on it. big grin

In reply to Larr Pullo

My friends and I gather and enjoy a tradition. Stewwwwwwwwwwps.

 
Commie 2016-12-25 09:31:15 

Ok here goes.

First I have alot of food this year because I have a set of people coming as usual and in a couple cases it is pretty poignant. Yesterday I met two moms of friends of mines who live overseas. I met both by coincidence whilst taking a rare walk in town and both were spending their day today alone as the men have passed on. I consider that pretty criminal so invited both. Made the heart feel good and the smiles on their faces will likely make up for all bad vibes ever.

No fish this year as my VIP guest is doing a monster red snapper for New Years eve.

Boxing Day is a traditional Callaloo Soup with Smoked Pork and another batch with Smoked Chicken for the non pig eating deluded mob. There is also a veggie callaloo with pumpkin but my Veggie friends usually end up eating the smoked pork version. EVERY YEAR !


Starters

Lobster in garlic butter served with plantain chips
Ham, twice cooked, and glazed with mustard and honey and stuffed with cloves and garlic.
Watercress and tomato salad with a home made lemon relish
Fried eggs (cmon...ham needs eggs)
Hot local bread

Main

Roast pork with fennel and brandy, with roast potatoes on the side
Local Turkey with yam and liver stuffing (I really should start taking pictures of this). The liver is actually local goat liver which is incredible
Crayfish cooked in coconut and curry with roast breadfruit on the side
Provision plate with green bananas, swamp dasheen, white and yellow yam and kush kush (purple yams I believe you call those in English)
Steamed okras
Avocado
Stir fried chinese cabbage
Stir fried carrots and spinach
Eggplant stewed with tomatoes and cumin
Egg fried rice
Pasta salad
Yam Pie (the left over stuffing)

Dessert

We have 7 frigging fruit cakes. I have a special VIP guest who can make the best cakes in the world. To emphasize the trouble we are in the cakes are finished with honey poured over them.
Ice Cream (Vanilla)
Pineapple and watermelon

The drinks dont bear describing except for one. My VIP guest eggnog.
