9 Christmas curry? This can even be made the day after Christmas using shreds of any leftover meat as well as the bones to make a rich stock. I like to give mine a spicy twist to offer a different palate. Just as important as the food, Christmas isn’t the same without a tipple in accompaniment. Depending on your serving style, your meal can be paired with either white or red wine. If you’re keeping things simple, go for a dry white. Don’t be afraid to opt for a more robust red if you’re serving your turkey with gravy. For beer lovers, why not try festive ale? I like to use full-bodied ale with rich, spicy notes that complement the meat, fi sh or vegetarian main, while cutting through and cleansing the palate. When it comes to the festive feast, there really are no rules, just guidelines, so don’t be afraid to mix things up and try something new. www.conference-news.co.uk
