Sorry to remain off the original topic, but I couldn't resist!  This is a clip from a 1964 episode of "The Outer Limits" TV show called "Cry of Silence".  You'll have to go about half or 2/3 of the way through to get the connection:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfGTpRrSjnE

You missed Mexican, Ron.  Nothing like a wonderful batch of homemade tamales on Christmas Eve.

I don't know yet where we're eating Christmas dinner, but if it's here, it will most likely be a spiral sliced honey baked ham.  They are to die for.  And i love parsnips, Stephanie.  I'd not tasted them til this summer when we had Sunday roast in a lovely thatched pub in Wimborne Minster in Dorset.  They were yummy!

Capon-

I hadn't thought about capon in years, Ron.  My hubby's famly used to raise them.  Another tasty poultry is Cornish hens.

Haven't heard of 'Cornish Hens' Ruth (apart from the two legged ones) but the Capon used to be restricted in movement in my day ie housed in a very confined space, fed constantly; hence the weight increase and restricted generally in any type of movement. Its probably why it has all but disappeared I guess.

Actually, Stephanie, your approach to Christmas dinner sounds a lot more sane and sensible--and thanks for the reminder on roast parsnips, which I love! We have to be very careful not to include any peanut products in the dinner for the sake of my nephew who is extremely allergic to them. Also, my daughter does not tolerate citrus very well, so oranges and lemons are out as major ingredients. I hope that you and your family have a lovely Christmas!

Thanks Rob - and I hope you and your family have a great time too!

Sounds wonderful Urmimala. We went to our friend's wedding a few years ago - her family originate from India. We were given so much wonderful food we couldn't move by the afternoon!
