"In 2022, I was living in a flat in north London above a chicken shop, with two flatmates and a cockroach infestation (what did we expect, said the landlord, living above a takeaway?). My flatmate was from Lithuania, and was due to go home in January, and our other flatmate, his girlfriend, was away for Christmas. I'd been home to Canada the month before, so for Christmas Day itself it was just the two of us."
"I bought a small chicken to roast, and served it with stuffing I'd brought back from Canada it's the same concept as the stuffing in the UK but somehow fluffier and with more texture and some pasta. I made brussels sprouts, trying to recreate a dish I like from a restaurant in my home town by cooking them with bacon, maple syrup, parmesan and a mayonnaise drizzle. It wasn't very nice. We had some prosecco that my flatmate had won in a competition,"
In 2022 a resident lived in a north London flat above a chicken shop with two flatmates and a cockroach infestation. One flatmate was Lithuanian and due to return home in January; the other was away for Christmas, leaving two people for the day. They roasted a small chicken with Canadian stuffing, served pasta, and attempted brussels sprouts cooked with bacon, maple syrup, parmesan and a mayonnaise drizzle, which proved unappetizing. They drank prosecco won in a competition and set up a bedroom projector to watch Tiptoes, a controversial film about a family affected by dwarfism that had long intrigued them.
