Not in my house! Faffing around with fiddly little blinking extras is not my idea of a fun-filled Christmas, plus they take up a full shelf in the oven which is better filled with far yummier options. Any time I have had them in anyone else's house or a restaurant, the bacon was dry and overcooked, and the sausages tasteless and uninspiring. I'd prefer to cover the table with juicy, succulent, rich foods which can sit an extra 10 minutes in or out of the oven without being spoiled giving everyone time to finish their sentences, visit the loo, find their glass or dig themselves out of wrappers, then photograph the food, pull crackers, top up wine, toast each other, and all the other things they do before finally reaching for the gravy boat.
