Paula McIntyre’s Hamely Christmas
Date Posted: December 7, 2023
Get into the festive spirit with some good ‘auld’ grub with Paula McIntyre’s Hamely Christmas coming to BBC iPlayer and BBC One NI on Friday 22 December from 7.30 pm.
Paula McIntyre’s Hamely Christmas is a Clean Slate Television Production for BBC Northern Ireland, with assistance from the Ulster-Scots Broadcast Fund.
Paula will be serving up turkey and all the trimmings with an Ulster-Scots twist in this special programme. She’ll be showing viewers how to make a cloot-covered turkey, cider gravy, sodabreid stuffing, a Savoury King Cake and some spiced biscuits inspired by Ulster-Scots culinary heroine Florence Irwin.
Paula will also visit St Columb’s in Derry~Londonderry to hear about hymn-writer Cecil France Alexander, wife of the Ulster-Scots Bishop of Derry back in the 19th century. There, she will be treated to a children’s choir singing one of Cecil’s most famous hymns, ‘Once in Royal David City’, before returning home to welcome friends with a festive feast.
