My whole world collapsed this morning, when swmbo told me my daughter in law is getting a CHICKEN for christmas dinner. Whaaaat....I have to have turkey, I cannot survive christmas without my gigantic turkey drumstick. . How could she.....

It has now been decreed between me and swmbo, that we will buy the christmas turkey.....this has not yet been put to mine host, and I do tend to play a lesser role where she is concerned Father in Law beating imminent

Sorry to deflate your balloon further terbert but we prefer chicken to turkey too!

[aaronjb]

I'd rather have a really nice roast beef joint, or better still roast pork with crispy crackling..

[Nick W]

Push the boat out. Have goose.

Anything but turkey in my opinion

[STMO123]

Christmas dinner is shite. Give me a nice curry any day.

[Terbs]

Oh no...no no no....it has to be turkey for me. Have chicken all year..... We did have a goose once, but if I remember rightly....it was a reservior of fat...ugh

You got that wrong mate....shite is what follows curry

Absolutely.Chicken isnt fit for human consumption,and Turkey isnt much better.

[Rog]

Each to their own, and there's nothing wrong with a decent roast joint, but I need my Turkey for Xmas !

On the matter of Turkeys, I've tried all kinds, fresh superfreerangehandfedrarebreedbronzemegamoney ones, and also frozen. Really can't tell the difference once it's been cremated by me  . So this year, frozen, but a big-un.

Chicken for the Opti family.....................turkey is as dry as a nun's fanny.

It's down to how it's cooked

SWMBO always cooks goose on a rack and upside down for the first half to 2/3 of the cooking time and it never comes out fatty Rich, very rich actually, but not fatty

....................turkey is as dry as a nun's fanny.

Really, all the one's I've had have been quite moist, Errrr . .  Turkeys that is 

But seriously, take care when cooking and it should not be dry.

Oil and bacon all over, a "tent" of foil not packed tight, remove foil for last hour to brown. No problem   

[Terbs]

I have to agree with Rog.....

We always seem to get a moist job, but its probably how the misses cooks it. Probably the same with LD's goose, as he says....

[Kevin Wood]

If you're going to risk getting a bloody nose over this anyway, Terbert, I'd be arguing for a beef wellington, myself.

[cleggy]

Tony, buy a freakin turkey It's Christmas
