1of4 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Voted turkey but I always serve two meats at Christmas. So will also be serving pork with plenty of crackling. Bread sauce with the turkey and a calvados sauce with the pork. Never liked turkey gravy so will be using the pork juices for the gravy this Christmas.

JoetheRam Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Turkey. If it's dry and you don't like the taste you are cooking it wrong. Plus Turkey gravy is great. Steve How Hard? and DarkFruitsRam7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Got to be Turkey, I can’t imagine Christmas dinner with anything else. Now the real question is, do you have Yorkshire puddings with it or not????? Edited December 3, 2021 by TexasRam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Ram Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Turkey, turkey, turkey, And the sucker won’t be dry. Cold turkey in the evening, rest made into a stew. Plenty of sides to go with it. Decent stuffing a must and well done roasties, masses of veg. Cant wait.. DarkFruitsRam7 and Steve How Hard? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olton Ram Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Haven't had turkey for years. We usually go for one of those multi-birds roast. We're planning duck, pheasant, partridge and pigeon this year. (And yes, I have enough self-awareness to know how deeply middle-class that sounds. Chin, chin) JoetheRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuk, makes everything soggy. Some muppet will put mushy peas in there wont they? If the puddings are part of a wider meal as in a roast, I would deem it acceptable to put gravy on/in them only. I've been to some restaurants where they might have "filled Yorkshire" as a dish in it's own right. I'd never order it but somehow think that's more acceptable to me than cutting up bits of your carrots or potatoes and putting them inside the pudding ad hoc at the dinner table.
