Well you can be taught how to do it.

As goes for turkey that can go prefer chicken, But chicken and bacon wrap tastes even better.

But seen as ive eaten some scotish food I would give it a go to cook them.

Though id have to bring my yorkshire puddings mix as well.

Sorry to hear. I bashed it all in the oven and microwave. I rarely ever cook a whole turkey. I think I did one year with my ex and then he ruined the ham while I focused on the.

this year I got a frozen Hungarian goose from lidl. I live alone so it will be sliced up and put in the Freezer until February. When I defrosted the goose for 16 hours. * hours in the sink while I was at work and 8 hours in the fridge seasoned with mixed herbs, Chinese five spice, lemon, lime, celery, clementine, and shallots.

All from Lidl and Aldi because I have heating bills to pay.

My spuds were not properly cooked so I shoved them back in the oven for another 30 minutes.

My sprouts were frozen into a bacon gratin and shoved into the oven. I had stuffing balls that I cooked seperately from the actual Goose.

Experience and practice. No one is perfect for various reason. I nearly flooded the kitchen with liquid good fat as I never cooked a whole untrimmed goose before. Next time I will trim it.

The cider goose gravy is epic. I recommend 10 out of 10 even if just to pour all over your lover and like off.

Yup... I do cook them separately from the poultry/meat roasting tin. that way if they are not done I can chuck em back in which is what I did with the parsnips. I was warned about the good fat so I didn't want my trimmings swimming in liquid fat so I cooked them separately with a bit of butter/oil spray.

I think I've cooked a whole turkey once in my 41 years.

Other Xmas times I've opted for goose, duck, pheasant, cornish hens, guinea fowl or poussin. A few times I've done ready-seasoned bacon-wrapped and butter-basted turkey crown from M & S or Waitrose. My goose this year is from Lidl but I had to season it but not baste it. Goose has enough fat to flood my kitchen.

My oven has been going for half the day so I just chucked what ever need to be defrosted in there and check back in 10 minutes.

Multitask and use all available heat. Lol! Bloody energy bills.

Look cooking isn't easy for everyone ok. I nearly flooded the kitchen with liquid goose fat after I ignored a few recipes that told me to trim it off. Experience, trial and error. Also everyone's oven/ stove top is different.

Ick no. I'd rather have one of those ramen noodle packets from Asia or Maggie.

I was introduced to pot noodles in 2001 and I still can't stomach it. thank good I live in london and the packet noodles from the Caribbean, African, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Indian/Pakistani or Polish shop are nicer and sometimes cheaper. (ignore E numbers)

Oh no! I was raised never to throw away anything. Lol! My dad a cheap skate but my mother loves to cook. She even made the burnt food taste good. Lol!

then we would feed the dog chicken bones.... I have no idea how our dogs lived so long....maybe because they were mongrels...My dad would probably die if I owned a pedigree. We never bough dog food growing up.

I learned to cook in my gap year and in the summers at Uni. I've got about 10 cook books from the Caribbean, Asia, Latin America and Modern British...yes Jamie Oliver is in there... I feel no shame...he save my ass so many times with his 15/30 minute meals.

Yeah My mum is old school but also a Maverick for working 40 hours and doing all the housework and cooking..until I was a teenager. My sister went to nursery at 3 months because my mom when back to work...no 6-12 months maternity or paternity leave.

You did your best and that’s what counts. With cooking you have to learn lessons and then do better next year. I make a baked Alaska for my birthday homemade ice cream and all. First one the meringue broke ruined. Tried again and it went great. Maybe try making it again but roast chicken not turkey. You’ll get there

"We've tried "have norovirus" in the days prior to Christmas. Mr KC lost weight but I didn't. Go figure

That's nasty it can be fatal!

It certainly was not very pleasant at all. Mr KC started first, was the worst illness wise. Then son and daughter about 18hrs later almost at the same time. Not fun at all hope your all feeling much better now x"

Pretty much although we abandoned Xmas dinner today because none of us felt up to anything substantial. Might do it tomorrow now.

Thanks, exactly what we've done. Though, getting a 5yo to drink a rehydration drinks (allegedly raspberry flavour) was about as much torture as the disease *bangs head against wall*

We've had pretty plain pasta today! Lovely jubbly

Come to my house. I'll cook you an amazing Christmas dinner, but you'll lose weight after all the stuffing.

"God bless you that’s awful, next year would you like to be invited to Xmas lunch with a sexy male or couple or do you prefer to relax on your own xxx

Or she could take some cooking lessons?

I suppose that's a thing......I'd rather be kicking a football or cycling or swimming or um...at the swingers club than a cookery class but each to their own. If you set a goal go for it!!

As a man, id find the going for cooking lessons a far more attractive feature than the other things"
