eddie Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Duck is my Christmas bird of choice, but we usually have turkey as well. Other main 'meat' treats on the plate include roast pork and my daughter's fantastic cranberry and nut roast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually yes, I see how the meat is handled (oo-er) and it's perfectly fine with me. Actually if you buy chicken from any supermarket, or popular fast food American style chicken place, there's a good chance it's produced in the factory I work at.

I'm a turkey man myself, but sadly it's been 20 odd years since I've had it. God I miss my turkey, roast spuds, stuffing, brussels, gravy....... Over here the main meal at Christmas is the night of Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day we normally have the left overs. Basically everything is pushed forward a day as Boxing Day isn't a holiday over here. Loads of sea food, prawns etc. And normally lamb too. So, didn't vote because there wasn't an option for me ?

I tend not to trust chicken for reasons too arcane to remember but if you work there and eat the stuff, it must be ok, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 We normally have a polish Christmas eve meal, called Wigilia(sic). Twelve non - meat courses, including raw fish in onions, fish in tomato, battered fish, breaded fish, fish with peppers, smoked fish, beetroot soup and stuffed pasta with mushrooms! This year it's up to us to host it, so Filet'o'Fish and fries may make its way onto the menu! I much prefer the English tradition of going out and getting bladdered, before fighting over a taxi home to be honest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewetube Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Love goose and duck but no one else here is keen. No one here likes turkey so the compromise will be a chine of beef (still mooing if I have my way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Le Mesmer Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Turkey is great to have all year round. It's also one of the foods highest in tryptophan which helps with low mood and depression. Given it's Christmas soon I think that maybe on that basis, Turkey is a good choice. I'll eat pretty much anything for Christmas dinner. I've even had fish fingers and oven chips in the past. So long as I don't have to be around certain family members and forced to like them for a few hours of false 'fun, frivolity and festivity' then I'm happy. Great cooking tips by ladyram there. Turkey is often a dry meat and can be tough too so tips are welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
