‘Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the ‘net,
They googled for roasties, the best they could get.Which spud to choose, to avoid roastie blunders?
Roosters or Pinks, Maris or Wonders?Goose fat or dripping? Oil or butter?
Who reigns supreme, in the smoke and the splutter?And lo, there’s Heston, Jamie and crew,
All armed with advice on just what to do.Parboil and ruffle, steam ’til they’re dry,
Then into the oven and roast ’em on high.Serve with the trimmings, the turkey and ham,
Piled onto the plate in a glorious cram.Feast yourself silly, with roasties galore,
Crispy and Christmas and here once more.
You know it’s Christmas when…
You’ll forgive, I hope, the indulgence in a bit of cheesy seasonal rhyme. It marks this year’s edition of an event that has become almost as predictable as Christmas itself – the Daily Spud roastie post.
