Thank you @Karen W … yes, that marzipan was (past tense, unfortunately) breathtakingly good. Slightly coarser and sweeter than other marzipan that I've eaten in the past - and better for it. The round flat pie in the centre of the photo was packed with something resembling mincemeat: a concoction of sultanas, figs, cloves and something else that I just can't identify. It was almost like a sweet chutney but without any trace of vinegar.

The only disappointment was the lack of a medieval eggclair.

:hungry: I have a weakness for chocolate "eggclairs." :wink: I envy you living in France, surrounded by what I imagine has some of the best pastry, etc. Although, we do, or did, have Michel Richard here. Looking at the cakes always made me drool. Would like to fly to Vienna and try the original Sachertorte. I can dream, can't I? :)

Last night I roasted a big piece of pork leg, served with roast potato, sweet potato, carrot, braised kale (Cavolo Nero) and made a fab gravy with the onion & winter savoury trivet adding in some of my apple chilli jelly and a splash of wine.

Some of the pork will go into rolls for lunch today “banh mi thit” style, some is reserved for the Xmas buffet and I’ve stashed a container of slices in gravy in the freezer for an easy meal at some point when I can’t be bothered to cook.

@Rocklobster Frozen fish is not so bad after all! Is understimated..of course fresh fish is another thing, but it depends also how one is able to cook... And I don't think you have problems about that
