My son and his wife always have their Christmas dinner at their home, just the 2 of them. He does the cooking (he does most of their cooking anyway) and every year they have a different "theme". He's done Indian, Chinese, Thai, Greek, Mexican and God knows what else. He's a good cook and he really "goes to town" with all the authentic ingredients. I asked him when he was going to have an English theme and do turkey. He looked at me in horror and said he wouldn't have a clue where to start.
Last year he was very brave. One of the members of his band gave him an edible, real scorpion in jelly as a present. He brought it to my house on Boxing Day and - I am here to tell you - he ate it! I wish you could have seen the expression on his face as it went down - and it stayed down too!
