That is a duck and bacon Great Pie in the Medieval style, spiced with cinnamon, mace, and cloves. Also a standing rib roast with an herb butter crust. And trimmings.
I hope your feasting was good, but more that you each found spiritual wealth and divine goods on this holiest day.
UPDATE: I usually post videos with favorite carols, but I continue to have trouble with Blogger. I tried Brave, but although I like it it seems equally incapable of accessing the HTML editing function without crashing Blogger. Also, now Firefox -- which worked last week -- is incapable of making the switch without crashing. Whatever is wrong is spreading to the other browsers I'm trying to use as a workaround.

You always have a menu to make one envious a bit, although we had a good feast indeed, and at least my single brother was able to come and be with us. All we can do is have the best Christmas we can. Let it be so for us all.
On the HTML editing in Brave, you may want to try turning off the "shields" if you haven't already done so. It sort of defeats the point of using Brave, but does sometimes make things work that are otherwise non functional.
Have you bathed your computer in Malwarebytes?
Apparently.
The real treat was I made snow cream, an ice cream variant my mother taught me to make as a child. It’s just fresh snow, Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla.
I've just discovered this carol and have to share it with you all -- Masters in This Hall. The words are a poem by William Morris, the music a sailor's dance from the 18th century French opera Alcyone.
Here's a folksy version that sounds like a shanty:

And here's a more polished Renaissance-sounding version:

Merry Christmas!
Now that’s one I’ve never heard before. Thank you.
We too had a standing rib roast, but not a gorgeous pie like that one! A couple of neighbors came over to share a meal with us.
I am trying to remember where I heard if first. One of the Christmas Revels of John Langstaff, perhaps. I had forgotten it - thank you for the reminder
