Fifi’s Easter dinner

So Easter is almost upon us and Spring is in the air, although I must admit I wish it was a bit warmer here!

Easter can be a bit like Christmas in our family and in keeping with tradition we are having a family meal on Easter Sunday. Only this year I am the dedicated cook as everyone is coming to visit me! Cooking really isn’t my strong point and I am not quite sure how everyone is going to fit in my pokey flat.

I decided to search the internet for some Easter themed receipes and it got me thinking is there a traditional meal for Easter? I mean at Christmas a turkey roast dinner is a most for many of us, but it doesn’t seem to be the same for Easter?

After some research I discovered that it is traditional to eat fish on Good Friday and lamb on Easter Sunday. Well I have never come across that before in fact it seems few people have come across that before!  Morrisons have recently found out that just 24% of people will be serving a traditional fish meal on Good Friday and just 21% will be cooking a traditional lamb meal.

So if it’s not the traditional fish or lamb what do people cook for their Easter meal? 62% opt for a beef roast dinner, although 2% to go for a ready meal/takeaway… that could be a much easier option for me, I can work a microwave! Ha ha

All this talk of food again… it makes you hungry. I have noticed a trend amongst my blogs, I love food.  Maryland cookies, vegetables and romantic meals (which I never did get by the way). However, my love of food is not only reflected in my blogs but also it’s starting to show round my waistline, so I have decided it’s time to do something about it and I am going on a diet. It looks like I am not alone as 64% of people have been on a diet in the last five years.
