Anthony Worral-Thompson & The Xmas Turkey
Christmas, either 1999 or 2000. Pre-parenthood, so it was me, my missus, and my dad for lunch, and rather than have the std issue bit bland really turkey, we thought we'd follow what that nice Mister Worral-Thompson off the telly did, and do some spicy things with the turkey to give it a bit of voom. It was supposed to enhance the flavour, give it a little bit of bite - just round it out nicely. Nothing more.

I got the seasoning bits and applied as per his recipe (as downloaded from whatever telly show website it was), and then we cooked it - and it came out moist, tender, slightly coloured by the spices. Then I tried eating it...and I may as well have take a handful of raw phal spices and eaten those instead. It was nothing short of incendiary, and still bloody tasteless to boot. All three of us took one bite, spat it out, and agreed. Even the cats ran away from it. It went straight in the bin and we feasted on roast spuds, stuffing (thankfully cooked separately) and asst veg.

Sod you, Worral-Thompson.
