Yesterday I had visitors;
Three of my family came to dine
And I made four – a chattering bunch
So that I would be on time
On previous night I began
By soaking the vegetables in water – cold
The next day for half an hour
I cooked the defrosted bird
On top of the stove, Regulo lowest set
Dripping to baste, covered with
Butter paper; its cap a page of the News;
Roast in hot oven. Later reduce the heat
Quickly I chop the cabbage
Place cauliflower on top;
The carrots are diced; the swede is sliced
Potato chunks take 10 minutes to boil;
Then painted with butter, oven browned.
The gravy was onion, Bisto and giblet stock
Our dessert – weak and wobbly raspberry jelly
With cherries, apples, bananas, and a spoon of sherry.
The finish – a cup of tea and a jam doughnut
N.B. 1
- No added salt or sugar
- Recommended Lea & Perrin’s Worcestershire sauce
