Oh, I know that
I've never done anything like that, but a friend of mine started cycling and he'd do around 30km/day and still managed to put on more fat, as he'd eat a lot after each day.

It is also my favourite time of year for food which doesn't help - too much game with goose fat roast potatoes and rich sauces

I know
They're too good. There are a thousand different types of turrón too, not only that one in wiki. For example:

It's impossible to resist.

Ay...
It's going to be like that all of December, all the way to my wedding. No turrón for me this year, no, no, no... (we'll see...)

Word to the wise:
Beef dripping has pretty much the same effect as goose fat and is a meagre fraction of the price, due to it not being fashionable amongst 4x4-driving organic twats who actually listen to what Nigella Lawson says as opposed to just watching her tits jiggle.

Good point, I get my goose fat for free from a mate otherwise I would use a combination of beef dripping and vegetable oil

Ah, well of course, if you've got a friend who melts geese anyway then go for it.

Poultry farmer. I like the taste of beef dripping - might buy some of that for this Sunday.

Brussells sprouts blanched and then stirfried in in the beef roasting dish
were the surprise hit of my Christmas dinner a couple of years back.

I like the sound of that. I have made yorkshire pudding in the base of the beef roasting tin before which worked pretty well
are we gearing up for a food thread?
