Oh no, not me.
I have been in the bar at The Ritz a couple of times, the bar snacks are amazing.
I treated Mrs Chopper to some cocktails as a birthday treat some time ago.
A fabulous bar, chuffing expensive but the quality and service is an experience.
But I am not a hypocrite, so no tip was given.

But do they serve cheese footballs?

Fillet of beef (with mushroom and wasabi sauce ) and a really good roast chicken or capon . . . sod turkey.

Often overlooked but an essential ingredient of a good Turkey Christmas dinner is to have good quality gravy none of this Bisto type rubbish.

Go on, then, BG, give us your recipe.

Jamie Oliver's 'Get ahead' Gravy is a really good recipe and as the name suggests can be prepared in advance. I'm guessing it must be popular because it's the only time of year when the local Tesco is sold out of Chicken wings (which are the key ingredient).

Google the recipe.

My wife saves the water that the veg was cooked in then adds flour to the roasting pan with the turkey juices and then adds the giblets * which have been pre boiled before adding the vegetable water and a large splash of Port. Very simple but tasty. When ready dont forget to put through a sieve to remove the giblets.

If people have other recipes I am always willing to read and try them.

I did something very similar but not with the giblets.
It was important to let it all reduce down to the correct thickness which can be tricky to get it bang on.
I dont know if it was a fluke but it was delicious, the sort you would expect in a very good restaurant.

By the way, is this thread sponsored by Jamie Oliver.

No but my youngest son, Bens dad, was in the same class as him at catering college.
