Had my first turkey and ham with all the trimmings of the 2023/2024 Christmas season there. Absolutely savage.

I’ve had two so far.
I find the ham in the restaurant meals you get this time of year is always lacking.

I had my first two mince pies today. Shop bought ones that someone left out at work. Not heated. No cream or custard accompaniment. Probably from Lidl or Aldi.

They were still GLORIOUS

That’s a Ravenous post/plate

I’m avoiding Turkey sandwiches and Christmas dinners till the big day although did have a sample of sausage stuffing last week - it’s the most wonderful time of the year

Are chips a Christmas dinner staple in Wexford?

No, but you may as well load up on whatever’s going at the carvery counter. Especially when Chef Alan is in a giving mood.

Mash spuds, roast spuds, chip spuds.
Please tell me there was a boiled spud under there.

No boiled. What you mentioned plus three slices of turkey, three slices of ham, carrots, sprouts, stuffing & gravy.

Swap the sprouts for a boiled spud next time.

Ooooh!

This is my first year cooking Christmas dinner. Might try this

Did they charge extra for the chips?

They did not. They’re not the type of operation to pop some chips into a separate vessel & charge for them. Back in my pretend IRA/IFSC auditing days nearly 20 years ago we’d go for a Friday curry in Lagoona. It wasn’t good fare but you’d ask for half & half & the speccy chef would fill up a mug of chips to be charged separately. The hungry young trainee accountants would throw the chips directly onto the main plate & dispose of the mug between the carvery counter & the payment area. It had to be done really.

Sounds like your expenses dept are taking revenge on behalf of the chef.
