Whats your bird?

beef joint and a chicken here....i dont see what the big deal is about turkey, i think its a dry horrible meat personally

it can be! we have 7 coming for dinner so i too have a large corn fed chicken and a decent size fore-rib of beef,keeps all happy and nice to have a choice

Had goose last year - lovely taste but very oily and not so much plump meat on it as a chicken or turkey?

 

Off to the in-laws tomorrow so will eat whatever is plonked in front of me. Quite happy with turkey and all the trimmings.

you never experienced my ex's parents christmas dinner, then you would have known it can be a horrible dry meat.

Did you see that episode of River Cottage where Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall started with a Woodcock and stuffed it in a woodpigeon and so forth until the last bird if I remember rightly was a Guinea fowl? Now thats a feast.

 

Was a 10 bird feast iirc, (turkey,goose,duck,chicken,pheasant etc etc)

10 birds in a sack who could resist?!

 

 

Goose and duck for Christmas here.

Nut Roast.

 

My old man owns a nut farm, millions of the little buggers running around everywhere.

 

Not strictly a bird, but difficult to catch and nigh on impossible to stuff.

Was going for the traditional turkey, but the only ones Sainsbury's had left were the monster birds that feed a dozen people, so we are having goose instead which will be interesting as I've never tried it before.

 

It must beat last year when I had cheese on toast !

 

Whatever you are having, have a happy Xmas.
