Turkey? Anything but Turkey?

[CatRyan]

Nothing better than a nice moist stuffing iirc.

My mother made it with loads of orange and lemons it was so tasty. She'd do a variation for pork chops too as they could be dry.

That could sting a bit.

Imagine keeping a turkey in the bathroom in the run up to Christmas

Better or worse than a Heron in the kitchen?

I must admit I think that particular SMBism is before my time on here.

What better way is there to spend Christmas? What could possibly beat shoving lubricated citrus fruits up your rectum? It’s what Jesus would have wanted.

I may be mistaken, I think it was actually in the bathroom - probably looking for a carp to have a go at.

I don’t think I’ve ever cooked a turkey. Another for rib of beef here.

Had turkey in a pub last week and it was quite nice. It was done in a funny, fancy way which made it.

I don't really like food much and Don't know much about it tbh

It’s turkey for us. I e just been and queued in the local butchers for pork pies. Hot out of the oven, I bought twenty that didn’t go down well with the people behind me.
I’ve just dropped them off at my relatives houses and kept four for us. I’m a good boy.

Love it me. Butter basted with sausage meat stuffing. Absolutely tremendous.

This.

Prepared ours this morning - as above with chestnuts in the sausage meat stuffing, streaky bacon over the top of the bird. My belly is rumbling just thinking about it.

There's a reason it's only really eaten at Christmas. It's absolutely shit - dry and tastes like arse.
We have beef every year.

Weren’t we going to be invaded by a million turkeys if we didn’t have Brexit?

My mother was a brilliant cook and spent all night cooking the turkey so it was as good as it could be.
None of us had that skill set or desire.

Turkey is an American abomination anyway... Goose is the traditional Christmas meat.

Not sure if that's true - pretty sure the Pilgrim Fathers ate turkeys that they took with them from Britain for the first Thanksgiving.

I like a nice rib of beef for New Year. Turkey is only dry if you don't cook it right - most folk leave it the oven far too long.

Ignore the turkey snobs marra. I'll be dining on it for the next 3 days.

Me too!

Probably head to Markies about 5 pm to see if they have any hams reduced so I can make a f*ck off big turkey & ham pie for Boxing Day.

Chicken is only a small turkey.

And turkey is only a big chicken .

At one time it was boar.

Christmas dinner - Wikipedia

Carp and potato sounds nice.

Mmmmm carp . Bowk, boak, spew .

Haven't had Turkey since my mother was alive. She was pretty staunch and a General in the kitchen so we had no say in it.

Usually go for beef or lamb but this year going for a few chickens due to dietary requirements of the guests.

I like the cut of your mothers jib . We're are having a 2 bone piece of sirloin . £50 ffs . (look at us etc.).

Is this new in thing then? To dislike turkey at Christmas?

Whoever hosts cooks the main meat and veg but everything else is usually me.

Usually make the gravy, pasta for the kids, paté, gravadlax and the Yorkshire pudding

It's years since I last caught a gravadlax . Wet fly upstream .

Cockerel and beef, turkey is rancid, used to be capons but not so easy to get nowadays
