Turkey Or Something Else Tomorrow

[signs]

Turkey for us, but my brother always has goose .So what you having then

[kingfats]

Turkey.

[mjn]

Lamb curry, chicken curry, bombay aloo, lamb samosas, and plenty of beer.

[indianwells]

My lot have demanded turkey. Not my choice though, I would have opted for a whole fillet, rolled in fresh herbs, salt and pepper, roasted medium rare, carved thinly. With Yorkshires...

[craddock]

Im cooking for 10 and doing a 25lb turkey and also 2 ducks, usually have a Goose aswell.

Will be served with a selection of winter veg, carrots, sprouts, peas, roast potatoes, honey roast parsnips, home made stuffing, pigs in blankets, bread sauce, cranberry sauce and a homemade plum sauce, followed by a choice of homemade pear tatin with a choc sauce or my own homemade melt in the middle 70 percent choc puddings or the obligatory christmas pud with cream.

Then champagne and a £50 box of Thorntons.

Guess that's why I'm craddock. I live to cook.

PS I am not eating any of it as I am having Christmas dinner with my partners sister and family, just have the family cooking to do as my parents are in ill health.

All have a fab xmas.

I wish I was having turkey.....I love Christmas dinner. But my Mum's trying to be 'alternative' and is doing.........lobster!!?!?!?!!?

Now I'm not saying I don't like it but its not very festive! I'm hoping the sherry, cheap crackers, Quality Street and Aldi mince pies make up for it.

I bet she still serves cranberry sauce........

Last year we had a mixture of roast beef, Ham and roast chicken and was very nice. This year we are just having chicken but i will be having turkey when i go round relatives. I'm getting 3 chrismas dinners this year.Two tomorrow and one on Saturday.

Strangely,that's exactly what I'm cooking tomorrow,with some nice crisp roast potatoes and parsnips and green veg.I decided last year that the turkeys were tasteless,so I ordered a 2kg fillet from our local butcher who does wonderful beef.The only nod to christmas dinner is some pigs in blankets at the request of my kids.Now if I can only persuade everyone that very rare is the only way to eat this Chateaubriand I'll have a great Christmas.

What great taste Chateaubriand, delicious.

God knows What I am having at my mother in law to be's on Boxing day, she is french so I am guaranteed atleast to be paryletic on champagne and will no doubt gorge on pounds of Calissons, which quite frankly were it not for their cost I could happily live on.

My credit card already gets bashed importing boxes from Bienmanger, i am hooked.
