I'm doing a beef rib roast.

I also put my foot down about the Turkey.

Basically said if you want turkey you're cooking. And she can't cook for ****.

Three bird roast.

 

[Simon42]

A turkey shipped from a farm in Norfolk which is vastly different from any supermarket and most local butchers I've tried over the years.

 

[Gray2233]

Turkey and salmon here, I've a beef joint on order from the butchers too but I'll probably save it for new years day.

 

[Malevolence]

Nothing. I'm working 23rd-26th.

 

[just Scott]

Rather have chicken than turkey every time

 

[hamesy]

I haven't cooked a Christmas dinner for years. We usually go round my parents in the morning for breakfast and then in the afternoon to the in laws.

I usually request chicken as I'm not a fan of turkey but my father in law is a bit of a feeder and usually brings me out a second helping of turkey, chicken and veg.

 

[Philtor]

Sirloin steak and butter basted chicken breast joint. Not a big fan of turkey. Not that I don’t like it but prefer chicken given the choice.

We do Chicken because Turkey is in every way inferior. Cost. Size to store. Availability. cba

What about taste? We order ours from a farm in Norfolk ever year and its delivered to our door and its nothing like supermarket ones or any we've tried from local butchers. The farm even posts videos of the turkeys through the year for those that are interested

Cost isn't great I do admit, but its no dearer than premium supermarket "been kept at near freezing in a bag full of gas for 2 months" versions and vastly better.
