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!!

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.

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..

Dont forget the Tripe

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  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.

[Crazycarzowner]

In the past we've had the whole family round 16+ and cooked a turkey the size of an Ostrich  This year we're having a change but I don't know which meat (or 2,3) to have ?
