The ultimate turkey sandwich for the ultimate Christmas

What will you be roasting next week? Are you a traditionalist with a beautiful Norfolk Bronze Turkey or will it be a rib of beef - perhaps a goose?

Together with a ham, poached salmon, nut roast and squadrons of pigs in blankets, there are bound to be lovely leftovers.

In fact, after a traditional breakfast of ham and poached eggs, nibbles with drinks as the neighbours pop in and smoked salmon with phase two of present opening - we often can't do the roast justice.

It's later in the evening after a typical Christmas afternoon of washing up, charades and a snooze - only now does a turkey sandwich sound like a great idea.


The ultimate turkey sandwich

But if you're going to have a turkey sandwich, make it a good one - no, make it the ultimate turkey sandwich. We don't mean with fanciful additions like chopped chives or diced capers (nice though). There's no need to grill rashers of smoked streaky bacon. And no salad fillings or garnish.

Leftovers are one of the treats of Christmas. Will you be able to wait until Boxing Day or is this Christmas evening wrapped up?   

Our 'ultimate' is a simple fayre. 

Spread a good sleek coating of Stokes Real Mayonnaise on a slice of buttered bread; cover with thick slices of turkey breast meat with leftover stuffing and slices of apple freshness; add a finger twist of Maldon salt flakes (for little bursts of salty flavour).

Crown the delicious bird with a good spoonful of Stokes Cranberry Sauce  and the other slice of bread.

Just what Santa ordered.


Stocking up for Christmas

You still have time - just - to stock up so you have everything you'll need to keep everyone happy next week.

We have lots of tasty ideas. From our Award Winning Tomato Ketchup and perhaps Tartare Sauce to make a fishfinger sandwich snack yummier still when you've finished wrapping those presents.

Don't forget the Cranberry Sauce or even better - Cranberry & Orange Sauce with Port to raise a pulse with the Turkey.

And perhaps Coronation Sauce for instant Coronation Turkey on Boxing Day. As well as relishes galore to bring cold cuts to life.



Make Christmas taste better with Stokes.

From everyone here at Stokes, 

have a very happy, tasty Christmas

A life in the day or a real mayonnaise

Creating and enjoying a mayonnaise as sensationally good as Stokes Real Mayonnaise is a true love story.

Not your typical chic flick or Bronte's obsessive compulsion to match her eponymous Jane Eyre with Mr Rochester.

Our 'Wide Sargasso Sea' to find true love is the Mediterranean, en route for Crete. Our star is the beautiful dark green extra virgin olive oil of the Koroneiki olive which grows in abundance on the hillsides of this sun drenched island.

It's grown with love, harvested with a passion and pressed to extra virgin olive oil with joy

...and makes yummy egg mayonnaise too!

It wasn't exactly love at first sight because we tried thirty different oils before finding and choosing Koroneiki EVOO to add the final extra smooth luscious depth to our real mayonnaise.

The love is for refinement and quality. The passion is in the uncompromising search for the finest ingredients. The romance is the joy of getting it right.

Why? 

So the king of burgers can wear it's own crown. So a humble prawn can feel like a lobster, wrapped in velvet white. So that when you've carved a slice of leftover turkey and put it on a bread coated in our Cranberry Sauce, you can make it the best turkey sandwich ever by topping it with Stokes Real Mayonnaise.


Marvellous Mayonnaise

When it comes to condiments, mayonnaise takes the biscuit - literally. It's so versatile. From a simple dollop on a tomato to - well - just about anything you can imagine, from simple to sophisticated.

 ...with poached salmon:

• a simple spoonful from the jar.
• mix chopped fresh dill and basil leaves into your mayonnaise.
• two parts mayonnaise to one of crème fraîche and little pearls of fish eggs (above).
• stir in a spoonful of Stokes Cider & Horseradish Mustard for a warming zing.
• or add Sweet Chilli Sauce for a gentle hint of chilli.

Staying in

The best thing about Christmas is the rare moment of peace when you can shut the door and stay in. No rich food, no noisy youngsters (thanks grandma), no polite smiles and no Christmas jumper.

Eat what you want, when you want and wash it down with whatever you fancy - perhaps the good stuff at the back of the cupboard.

Just imagine - a fish finger sandwich with all three of Stokes' originals.

One for all and all for one.

Competition Time

If you haven't already entered, this is your chance to win a three night trip to Crete.

You'll meet the grower, taste the oil at its source and have £500 spending money to help soak up the atmosphere of this wonderful Mediterranean island.

We all have our favourite party dips. Delightful little bowls of delicious compositions in which to dunk our crisps, carrot sticks, celery bits, chicory leaves and parsnip chips.

• Add Stokes Dijon Mustard to make simple cocktail sausages sing.

• Add Creamed Horseradish for velvety warmth in a crudités dip. 
• Add Sweet Chilli Sauce to dip mini meatballs and falafels.
