This was originally much longer and when I chopped it back to fit a "small" gift sort of size, some bits of the food prep accidentally got lost, too - I've just rectified that now.
And I'm so happy you enjoyed all the food! Deciding on the recipes was fun, the menu is actually a mash up of historical and modern food, things that sounded sort of vaguely Wizarding and/or just delicious. The recipe for goose with hyssop and quince is early 14th century, and that particular Usquebaugh - the grand uncle of whisky! - is from the 1720s, but everything else is eaten widely and with great relish today. In fact, devils on horseback is one of my favourite Christmas treats, if you haven't had them before, give them a try!
I'm also chuffed you thought it was Christmassy (not a big fan of Christmas personally).
hope you had yourself an excellent winter holiday! And once again thank you for your wonderful comment! Xx
