Sick on Christmas

Well my Christmas was ruined because I somehow caught a stomach bug and/or virus and ended up with diarrhea and vomiting for most of Christmas Day and couldn't eat a thing. :puke:

Worst. Christmas. Ever.

Yep! So far here I've had 1x flu, 1x cold and 1x stomach bug. Oh, and constipation. Don't you just love traveling :D

Most unfortunate.

I'd be cautious about eating out around Christmas time too.

I don't have a Christmas tradition, nor like a traditional Christmas meal, so Hunty, you're not "entirely" alone. I hope you feel better soon :) Have a wonderful 2018, everyone!

I haven't had a proper turkey dinner for Christmas since I came to China. So I can imagine how pissed off I'd be if I got the chance and fell ill. Hope you're feeling better by now.

I think I do prefer beef if the meat is soft and cooked well (can't stand chewy meat), but turkey goes down a treat!

I am not huge meat fan. Why not try some vegetarian or seafood dishes for a future Christmas feast?

Here are a few of my creations;

Curry rainbow trout with mint and lime

Seafood pasta with seared king scallops

It's a no from me. I like some of those dishes, but definitely not for Christmas! I do like fish but not a big fan of seafood generally speaking, and hot soups tend to mess with my sinuses.

Btw, prawns are the woodlice of the ocean. Did you know that? :P

Yes, and I like sea slugs too ;)

I am glad that we aren't going to fight over food on the table if we dine together one day :D

I'll take the vegetable soup, providing it isn't boiling hot. Chuck some Tofu in there if you like :)

Yes, tofu (various types) is almost always in my vegetarian/ vegan dishes. The fusion vegetable soup was inspired by the Mediterranean vegetable soup, with a few twists including adding tofu :D

Oh, and I don't serve the vegetable soup super hot because all the greens will turn yellow or brown if over cooked with heat ;)

Go the Turkey :D It's a different kind of meat when cooked well tastes great. Pork is good too.

Seafood is meat. And those seared king scallops look delicious :nod:
Not a big soup fan anymore but the best soup I've ever had was Potatoes and Leek.

Btw, prawns are the woodlice of the ocean. Did you know that? :P
I didn't.. shh :-$ , and I still don't. I like prawns and I'm not changing that.
