last night we went out for a carvery and they had turkey as one of the meats.it was sitting on the hot plate on its bottom so to speak and got me thinking why don't we [as in jo public] serve our turkey like this?
just thinking as we are having a big turkey this year

I cook all poultry upside down for the at least the first half of the cook and then turn it over to brown the skin. All the fat off the belly seeps down in to the breast and you get a very tender moist bird (ooeer missus ::) :P)
Make sure it is well trussed though or it will fall to bits.

Someone at work was sayimg the same yesterday... Makes alot of sense :y
And very tasty too...

Turkey. One of the many things that makes Christmas disappointing.
I discovered yesterday that friends will have both wild boar and beef on their table, which makes a trip to Sussex tempting!
-
I can heartly recommend goose. Similar to turkey but a lot more flavour and more tender. Because it is smaller it is easier to cook without drying it out :y

Back to the OP. ::)
The reason poultry is generally served on it's back is because it dosn't look like a bird and us squeamish Brits don't want to know what our meat really is. ::)
Sit it upright on it's tail and it looks what it is.... a dead, cooked turkey! ;)
Yum!! :y

Exactly. Most people are happy to eat a nice bit of steak that comes from a polystyrene tray, but if you had to watch a butcher hack your steak off of a cows carcass there would be a lot more vegetarians. ;D

Errrrrr.......just a fickin minute here. I grew up in the days when the butcher would carve whatever thickness you wanted off a huge slab of steak. Or get his chopper out to the rack of lamb, and then cut the fat off before he weighed it.
You used to be able to pick up a bag of offal in the pub from someone who worked at the abattoir, blood dripping out of the plastic bag. Liver, kidneys, tripe, lambs fries all mixed together. Yum.. ;D

I suspect all but the most stupid will, when they see the little jumping lambs in the springtime, think of mints sauce and roast tatties?

Yes Lamb would be a change for xmas dinner :P I dont think many people buy Lamb anymore :-\

I had lamb the other night. I suspect I will on Tuesday night. Spiced up in a rich, chilli based sauce, served on a bed of rice ;)
We reasonably frequently have a small joint of lamb at home :). I don't mind turkey at Christmas, as its the only time I have it.
This year, I'm having it twice - called into the pub on Friday to give my choices for the ABS xmas meal (we always rip up the menu, and tell them what we want - for me, Heinz Tomato Soup, Turkey, and Strawberry Jelly and Ice Cream :)), and then on xmas day when we have the outlaws over.

Yep. Me too. The fat makes the most fantastic roast potatoes too! :y

Goose I believe is the more "traditional" bird for Xmas although I've never had it.Me and dog will be having one of those 5 bird roast things from Aldi or somewhere.
