About a 16lb turkey to feed 5 from a local farm. Personally I'd rather eat something I will enjoy for xmas dinner. Don't see why people eat about the worst meat going on xmas day, so for myself I've got a 5 and a half pound leg of lamb which I will cook on the BBQ xmas day.

Im coming to yours mate.

We're having goose, grown and killed locally, which I will be cooking with spiced pickled pears and chestnuts. The fat will keep us in gorgeous roast potatoes for a while.

Ben643 · 23 Dec 2008 at 22:06

We're just having a couple of small duck breasts I think.

How big are those? For how many? :eek:

9 people at last count. Don't know the weights off the top of my head (they aren't overly large), but we've got two days of eating. My Sister and her fiancé can't make it down until Boxing day, so we'll be having another 'Christmas' dinner then too.

A what now?

Actually we were thinking of using a bbq and a crock pot but i don't know if that will work or not.

They're turning on the gas in the homes of the elderly etc first and said some homes will be without gas for Christmas day. Luckily we have a small camp gas cooker.

NaomiRE · 23 Dec 2008 at 23:24

Lol our little 1.02kg guinea fowl sounds piddling next to some of your beasts, but its just for two of us for Xmas day so it's enough... got another one in the freezer for New Years too.

KaneStatton · 23 Dec 2008 at 23:26

My dad owns a butchery, so i guess it will be some sort of organic **** fed thing,
there are 15 of us but 7 kids so I dunno how big
