Damn - I am so going to try this - hang on, your Cider is non-alcoholic, right? Cause I’ll try to get some Scrumpy to use, which will have enough kick on it’s own without adding any JD.

Ah, yes, if you can get your hands on Scrumpy, it’d be scrumdiddlyumptious without any need for added liquor!
Yes, American cider comes in two varieties - cloudy dark colored apple juice with no alcohol, and clear slightly bubbly hard cider with alcohol. “Apple juice” is clear and sweet sweet sweet and a staple of toddler diets (although nowadays most of us are watering it down 50% to reduce the sugar shock.) It’s the cloudy but non-alcoholic cider that I use for wassail, but man, I’d use Scrumpy if I could get it.
What? No yorkshire pudding ?
The way to roast goose without it being fatty/greasy is to place the bird on a cooling rack to allow the fat to drain through while it’s cooking.
Keep pouring the fat off and don’t forget to roast yer taters and 'nips in said fat.
This year I’ve not accepted any invites for Chrimble, instead I’m gonna stay home alone and roast a big fuck off duck avec chestnut and cranberry stuffing, spuds and all the rest of the business.
Then I’ll park my arse and proceed to stuff my chops until I can hardly walk.
Having eaten and gorged myself plus consumed a bottle of wine, I’ll just slump, farting and belching until I fall asleep.
Ho! Ho! fucking Ho!
Santa’s giving you 3 prossies for Christmas? You must have been very good this year!
That’s how I roast most things.
Well - I got my scrumpy and spices. I guess I should have a trial run before Christmas day. Maybe tonight before the Carol service.
This should be fun.

Good?
I’ve been damn near perfick 
Oh, yes. The recipe works better if you practice it beforehand. A few times, if possible.
