00:05 dinner this year because the autumn has been such a wash out.
00:08 So we're asking the people of Lancashire today what they would miss the most on their Christmas
00:12 dinner if they couldn't have it and this is what they had to say.
00:16 Brussels sprouts, gravy, can't beat gravy, got to be swimming.
00:23 So with the sprouts how do you cook the sprouts?
00:30 Oh I don't cook.
00:32 Yeah boil.
00:33 Yeah you can't beat sprouts, I just eat them.
00:39 That's all I would live on that mashed potatoes, gravy, peas.
00:44 So the shortage of potatoes at the Seine could be a problem?
