What meat on Christmas day ?

[Stolly]

Turkey is only very modern tradition and isn't very english, we have something different most years.

Yeah, Goose was pretty popular until fairly recently.....i do remember reading that Salmon was very popular too at one point....

 

[-BA-]

Rib of beef here too. Can't wait. Not had turkey for years now. Went through a phase of different birds like cockrel and Indian Game Bird which are both nice but rib of beef does it for me every time

 

[Angilion]

Just bought two steaks. One advantage to xmas alone, I can make whatever dinner I want!

Last year I had Lamb.

Steak for me too, for the same reason.

I don't do Christmas at all, so I'm certainly not going to conform to a choice of meat I don't like because it has relatively recently been added into the mash of wildly varying customs that we've stuck together and labelled "Christmas".

We got chicken, pork and beef. The girlfriend, her sister and mom is starting the cooking tomorrow. I'm actually nervous when thinking about the forthcoming gluttony-fest.

 

[neodude]

We have a small turkey joint and a small 4-bird roast. A little bit of variety never hurts. TBH I don't see why christmas is all turkey turkey turkey, it's not even very nice. I vote we should change the traditional crimbo dinner to fillet steak or pheasant!

yep goose was Victorian Christmas, medieval Christmas was pigs head.

Just turkey and beef for our household this year! x

 

[Cosimo]

Pork loin and turkey over here.

 

[GeezerButler]

We're having roasted Bernard Matthews with all the trimmings - it's what he would have wanted.

 

[mjt]

We try to change it every year. I think it's been pork, venison, goose the last 3. Not sure what we're having on Saturday. Depends what's in the shops I guess

Turkey here, from a local farm. While drier than say chicken or duck, it's not to its detriment IMO, so long as it's cooked correctly.

Can't beat turkey with real gravy! Turkey and stuffing sandwiches are awesome too, so I don't complain when there are leftovers.

Man after me own heart.

Never a dry turkey in our house, it's always moist. I cook it upside down so the breast is always immersed in the juices. & then seal the tray with foil. I also cut the legs off first & place them in the tray & rest the front end of upside down body on them for support. (don't look as good but what the hell.)

Having Blumenthal-style Turkey this year, but we had a Ballotine last year and a Goose the year before.

 

[Gangster]

turkey, gammon, beef and chicken here.

 

[RJC]

Chicken, Beef and Ham.

 

[bsoltan]

Turkey.

If only for the sandwhiches during the rest of the week.

We've also got some beef though for another day.

 

[jackthezipper]

Turkey/Ham (prefer the ham myself)

A nice steak for new years
