Grrrrrrrrr.
Beetroot salads are awesome. I'm taking one of Beetroot, Fennel, Red Onion and Orange. I seem to be in a passive aggressive war with my American in-laws when it comes to holiday food. I got tasked with appetisers, and having had it explained to me again that appetiser for them doesn't mean first course but sundry items to snack on and ruin their appetites, my salvo is going to be:

The aformentioned Salad.
Chicken Liver Pate.
Butternut Squash Pate like substance. Without cinnamon and all the other normal pumpkin spicing. Gonna be savoury.
Toasts for smearing upon.
Selection of Olives & other pickles.
Spicy Cranberry relish.
Goat Cheese Tart.

They'll be serving Turkey Tetrazzini. I'm certain this is not a dish you serve to people you love.

I'm envious of the good looking food. drat fine stuff.

Turkey Tetrazzini is, was, terrible. Give the hostess credit, she didn't simply shred leftover turkey, pour canned soup over spaghetti stir and serve. No, she forgot to get soup, used watered down stock, added a bag of frozen vegetables and if there was turkey in it, it escaped my plate. Silently she handed me salt and pepper.

Wouldn't want to encourage the idea that it's picture worthy. Might end up seeing it served again.

Dark chocolate truffle with chillies. Or sea salt. Anchovies might be step too far.
