We've got a 3 bird roast for Xmas day, no starter, just good ole roast, mash(at Julies insistance), sprouts, carrots, peas, stuffing, gravy etc.

usually we plan for a pud but are too stuffed, we'll have to see

Re: Christmas Dinner???
 

just curious , whats the correct pronunciation of this dish ...
is it turd-uck'en, or tur-duck-en or tur-duc-ken , wouldn't want to show my ignorance in polite society and be uncouth :confused: :confused: :D

the whole idea of such a thing sounds to me like nothing more than a piece of pretentious sewer solids ;) ;)

Whatever is served up at my sisters:D

I'm just the same cashy food, is food, is food the other half cooks it and I eat it, oh yes and pay for it too:D

bird or not a bird
 

who's having turkey this year... I am not going to bother it was flipping dry and not nice last year.... I think you need a big oven to cook a big bird... so going to have a few chickens....
or maybe pork ( if its safe to eat)

Haven't got a clue, depends what take-a-way is open. Only joking. But seriously haven't given it any thought yet, wait till next weekend before i give it any thought.

You could always freeze his legs for a later date, if you struggle fitting him all in the oven.:D

If my recent tradition of getting unexpectedly and inexplicably bladdered on Christmas Eve repeats itself, then I will be unwilling to face anything before 9pm, apart from bread - dipped in anything that is runnier than bread.

All sounds so delicious!I'm having copious amounts of roast potatoes and garlic,and as befits a strict vegan - my meat substitute is fried mushrooms. Preferably chestnut, preferably large, with lots of fresh herbs and mustard. Pure manna!If I had the space, I'd buy a turkey (pre-demise!)and keep it as a pet!They remind me somewhat of vultures, albeit, plump ones!Lots of character!

Mmmmmmm sounds great i may nick the mushroom idea myself............( instead of my vegetarian kievs)

Re: Christmas Dinner???
 

We are celebrating with my brother's family this year, i imagine that Jo will be doing her famous turkey recipe nicked from Nigella, involves steeping the bird (turkey, not Nigella) in a dustbin full of aromatic things for ages!
No doubt will be all the more delicious because I am not doing the cooking! ( though I will be providing the cheeseboard!):)

Re: Christmas Dinner???
 

Only me, Nik and Laura on Xmas Day and they don't eat meat. We're having kedgeree and buck's fizz for brunch and salmon-en-croute for evening dinner. In between, I expect to be gorgeing on wine and chocolates. :)
