Christmas Eating Tips
- Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a buffet
table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see
carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving
something significantly less healthy.
|
- Drink as much of others people’s exotic alcoholic beverages
as you can, especially if it’s someone who normally has to assess
the cost when giving you the time of day (extra points if they are
related to you). This opportunity will not present itself until
next Christmas or until one of their offspring gets married. Besides,
they’d do the same to you.
|
- If something comes with sauce of any description, use it
in copious quantities. That's the whole point of sauce - pour
it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with
sauce. Eat the volcano. Repeat.
|
- As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skimmed
milk or whole milk. If it's skimmed, pass. Why bother? It's
like buying a sports car with only first and second gears.
|
- Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort
to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas
party is to eat other people's food for free - Lots of it.
|
- Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and
New Year. You can do that in January when you have nothing else
to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling
the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and a fluorescent
cocktail.
|
- If you come across something good at a buffet table that
you’ve never had before and are really delicious, position yourself
near them and don't move. Have as many as you can before becoming
the centre of attention. They're like those fantastic bargains in
the sales - if you leave them behind, you're never going to see
them again.
|
- Same for cakes and mince pies, try everything. Or, if
you don't like mincemeat, have two pieces of Christmas cake, especially
if there’s a lot of marzipan, if you don’t like marzipan, then take
it home as wrapped in a serviette (or a napkin if you're posh) for the dogs – dogs are the greatest
connoisseurs of calorie-laden food in the known universe.
|
- If there’s that Stollen stuff, Panetone or other continental
offering that sounds like an item of clothing, you can have as much
as you like as no-one else will touch it – and it was probably
really expensive so it counts double.
|
- One final tip: If you don't need some larger items of
clothing when you leave the party or get up from the table, you
haven't done it properly.
