broughtonblue Posted 16 November 2010 Posted 16 November 2010 Crimbo has to be the best Turkey you can find, roasties, mash, carrots and parsnips, sprouts, gravy and bread sauce. And wine or lager. Agree, traditional all the way. + Christmas pud
Webbo Posted 16 November 2010 Posted 16 November 2010 We usually have a capon (that's a big cockerel) but my uncle the butcher has retired this year so I don't know what we'll have this year, turkey is crap. PS. Sprouts are godly.

cambridgefox Posted 16 November 2010 Posted 16 November 2010 lol You may laugh.With your wealth,you could be having that or peacock,caviar,foie gras,truffles oh and a pork pie!
Matt Posted 16 November 2010 Posted 16 November 2010 I'm going to Australia for Christmas we will be having the traditional Turkey, but will be having Duck cooked on the BBQ. Nice!
Unabomber Posted 16 November 2010 Posted 16 November 2010 Turkey is the only acceptable meat to roast on Christmas day imo.
The Doctor Posted 16 November 2010 Posted 16 November 2010 turkey is christmas meat but i want something more exotic. Swan needs to be fed on oats from a cygnet otherwise it'll taste of fish (thank you QI), I fancy a rhino steak. bet they taste delish.
samjohnson Posted 16 November 2010 Posted 16 November 2010 Gotta be turkey!! With all the trimmings (Sprouts included - They are amazingly good )

Finnegan Posted 17 November 2010 Posted 17 November 2010 Duck and goose. Great shouts. Scrooge bought Cratchet a goose, traditional enough for me. Turkey isn't tradition, we just nabbed it off the yanks!
Alexikokopops Posted 17 November 2010 Posted 17 November 2010 Turkey is possibly my least favourite meat. I mean, it tastes of nothing. It's been used at Chrimbo just as a conveniently cheap way of feeding a large gathering of family as traditionally happens. As an alternative I can recommend ostrich. The drumsticks are AMAZING! Having tried ostrich twice, I can confirm that it's rubbish.

Like the piece of deer that will end up on my plate tonight. Get in. Cant beat a bit of venison,my mates dad saw a lady in distress who had hit a muntjac deer ,and it was badly injured.killed it and ate it(not all at once)my mate said it was lovely,but rather strong,but that could have been the stress of the animal before it died.Told this can change the taste of meats.Dunno if this is true though.
cambridgefox Posted 26 November 2010 Posted 26 November 2010 it's what he would have wanted Imagine the crackling on that fat cont.might need a bit longer imo!
Daggers Posted 26 November 2010 Posted 26 November 2010 Liquid diet every xmas You Australians do love a good fight, don't you.
