I'll be using a week Thursday's Thanksgiving (22nd November) as an excuse to have it then too, in solidarity with our American posters. Turkey needs to be well basted. Put butter and salt under the skin then smother it with a favourite sauce and it will cook succulently like any other white meat. If you cook it dry for hours it will be tasteless.

Yeah, but I know that's going to be über sweet and totally chemically disgusting. @David just thinks 'offal' and gets put off by the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Christmas = Turkey....and that's the end of that. No other substitute I am afraid. The reason we don't eat it any other day of the year is because it is Christmas dinner and no other day. (except thanksgiving of course!) On the subject of weird additions people add on to their Christmas dinner, my Dad always has a big dollup of brown sauce on his plate, I have recently taken part in this ritual and have to say it is pretty nice..! My sister always has mint sauce.....weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree fully wih the butter side of this. Not sure about sauce smothering, but each to their own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coneheadjohn Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I’d just have all the cheese if I could. I suppose the lads will want meat and potatoes. @Mrs Cone will want to go over the top on everything and then cake after cake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 There's good and bad haggis to be fair. Went to a wedding in Bute this time last year and they served the full tatties, neeps and haggis as a small starter and it was honestly one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten. Veggie haggis a pretty good too to be fair, same as some veggie sausages are as nice if not nicer than the offal filled equivalents. Think we're doing goose this year but as with any roast, for me it's all about the trimmings. Salivating like a hungry hound just thinking about it.

Angry Ram Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 6 hours ago, TuffLuff said: No, it uses non-meat alternatives to look like haggis. That’s why it’s called ‘vegetarian haggis’ and not ‘haggis’ much like we don’t call vegetarian sausages, ‘sausages’. Don’t start him off, nobody mention Jaffa cakes.

Parsnip Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I went on a cruise a couple of years ago and at the posh dinner I had my first try of escargot. I was worried it was going to turn into a bushtucker challenge but I'll tell thee what, I could've eaten 200 of those succulent little gastropods! Open your mind @David Cruises are crap by the way.
