Yes it was me. It would normally have brown bread

Oh, yes I forgot that. The nicest bit, really.

  It's served with stuffing
 and bread sauce (a sauce made from bread, what did you expect) and/or
 cranberry sauce.
Oh, hes forgot the bread sauce. Will be tucking into that soon... There
might be chipolatas or mini  sausages as well, and people often lay
bacon strips on the turkey (it's  quite a gutbuster, this meal).
Which is why I decided to go veggie at Christmas.

It's  served with brandy butter, cream, custard, whatever.  BTW, I like
 fruitcake... no comments please.
Note : Brandy Butter = literally butter and brandy mixed and chilled and
put on a hot slice of pud to melt.

I've been thinking. We've talked a lot about Brit traditions ( mostly
English ) . Could some of our correspondents from other countries give
us an idea of where their traditions differ ? Perhaps this could be a
basis for a fan fic about a trip to Durmstrang, Beauxbatons or another
wizarding school.
