Greedy Jambo Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 Is Turkey better than Chicken though? We all get Turkey... but is it really better? i'm not so sure, What about Yorkshire puddings? do they belong in an xmas dinner? probably not.

Carl Fredrickson Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Not a fan of turkey, much prefer chicken. Normally have a steak pie, tatties (roast & mash), veg, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. Getting a gammon this year and it will be cooked in a slow cooker with coca cola for a few hours, drained and then out back in with loads of honey and pineapple.

Morgan Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Turkey is not good. Sprouts are wonderful and deserve a thread of their own, imo. A good filet is the choice here. As long as there is a salmon starter, a good steak dish in the middle and a classic dessert, we’re sorted. A good Spanish red is our wine. And a few Torres 10.

Cade Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Turkey is pish, chicken is far too "everyday". If you want fowl, go Goose. The fat from it makes the best roasties in the universe. I am partial to a huge rib roast of beef on Xmas day though. Major centrepiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Boy Named Crow Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Decent seafood platter, must include rawns, scallops, oysters, lobster tails, calamari etc, prepared and served by a harbour front restaurant.

Costanza Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Christmas always used to be the same bird done the same old boring way but in recent years, the introduction of a ham shank has made it a much more pleasurable experience. For the sides, a heroic amount of roast potatoes cooked in the turkey fat, Sprouts but only cooked with chestnuts and bacon lardons (as per Greedy Jambos picture), pigs with blankets, stuffing. Anything else is non essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortyJambo Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I love Xmas dinner, as long as it's a good quality turkey and not overcooked. And have to have all the trimmings. We always have Xmas dinner at the in-laws, and I enjoy cooking so always do it (that, and the MIL tends to overcook meat...). We've got into the habit after the bad winter a few years ago of getting an extra turkey breast joint for the freezer at home "just in case". So me and my wife now have another Xmas dinner in Feb/Mar time as well. And very good it is then too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
