As regular readers will know, Fanny writes from a prison cell in Nice, awaiting sentence for truffle smuggling. Despite the ongoing advances of Le Prison Gouveneur, she remains in good spirits, mostly 100% proof vodka. Here is another Christmas cooking tip.
Dear Fanny,
My wife left me this week because she found out I’m quite fond of dressing up as a lady of the night. This didn’t go down too well at our daughter’s nativity play and wifey chose to leave me.
Anyway, the problem is I’ve got a 32lb turkey defrosting for the big day and I’m at a loss as to what to do with the leftovers. I’ve got a lovely little black and gold trim negligee to wear on New Years Eve!

Dear Paul.
As I write from my cell I can’t help but think of you in your negligee and what a fine sight that would be.
Unfortunately I’m resigned to spending my Yuletide in the company of miscreants. Alas all is not lost as my cell mate, Marcledreuxleix, has brewed a rather fine batch of hooch made from fermented snail urine, scrotul cornflakes and leftover hard boiled eggs. Marvellous!!
Boxing day Turkey, Ham, Leek and Tarragon Pie.
Combine cooked leeks, a splash of white wine, half a cup of chicken stock.
Add your leftover turkey and ham, simmer then add creme fraiche and chopped tarragon. Heat and serve topped with a (shop bought puff pastry) crispy, golden brown pie lid.
Scrummy
Merry Noel!

It is such a joy to see Fanny Redcrack before Christmas. I hope she stays warm in her drafty cell. I will enjoy the leeks!
Tried it last night Susie – lovely!
