What's everybody having on Christmas Day, I fancy something other than turkey this year. Want some ideas. Last year had a TurDuKin from M and S which was tasty and novel but don't want that again.
Christmas Dinner???
- Thread starter Mr Matthew
- Start date
1 Parma ham with melon and ciabatta rolls
2 Veal escalopes in Marsala with garlic roast potatoes, a watercress and rocket side salad
3 Black Forest gateaux
4 Cheese board - gruyere, danish blue and emmental
Very little to cook there - Kate could manage that even

Cashy....you learned the secret of survival...eat what you are given, be grateful... thank the cook,and then do the washing up!
I watched a program.. I think its riverside cottage or somehting like that.. A cooking program wiht all natural stuff... Anyways he made a dish that was I think at least 8 or 9 birds.. started with a large turkey.. stuffed that wiht another bird and so on using smaller birds all the way down... a rare old feast of colours and taste.... I wouldn't have tried it .. but made for fascinating TV
always have done margaret, i put that down to my survival.
Forgot to mention it was breast only.
Apparently there's a dish in one Arabian country I can't remember which. Which is a sheep stuffed inside a camal.
I'll give that one a miss.

Taken from Wikapedia:
The largest recorded nested bird roast is 17 birds, attributed to a royal feast in France in the early 19th century (originally called a Rôti Sans Pareil, or "Roast without equal") - a bustard stuffed with a turkey, a goose, a pheasant, a chicken, a duck, a guinea fowl, a teal, a woodcock, a partridge, a plover, a lapwing, a quail, a thrush, a lark, an Ortolan Bunting and a Garden Warbler. The final bird is small enough that it can be stuffed with a single olive; it also suggests that, unlike modern multi-bird roasts, there was no stuffing or other packing placed in between the birds. This dish probably could not be legally recreated in the modern era as many of the listed birds are now protected species. [1] [2].
In the United Kingdom, a turducken is a type of ballotine called a "multi-bird roast."

We have spent Xmas Day with friends for the past four years but it's just us this year.
We've decided to please ourselves. Smoked salmon and poached eggs followed by a wander around the village for a few beers. Home again to eat roast duck and all the trimmings.
Mince pies and ice cream for supper.

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