Now that I am on my own, I have a duck instead, and get 2 or 3 meals out of it: a leg and some breast meat for Christmas dinner, duck fried rice, and duck soup etc...

Duck is by far my favourite meat!

"I hate turkey, and usually have a duck or a goose for Christmas.

I used to have a goose with my ex-hubby, and use the left-over meat and fat to make rillette (potted meat).

Now that I am on my own, I have a duck instead, and get 2 or 3 meals out of it: a leg and some breast meat for Christmas dinner, duck fried rice, and duck soup etc...

Didn't you go camping last year Pearl?

We're going to my Mums this year and will be having turkey and beef.

I went camping during the New Year weekend last year.

If the weather is good, as in very little wind, a bit warmer than now, no rain, then I'll go camping from 24 Dec until 28 Dec down in Dorset.

I'd say get a lovely fillet, depends how many of you there are, you can't beat chateau briand - gorgeous and a nice change from turkey, or what about a whole salmon poached in a fish kettle, simple but very tasty and great cold too. Z

Yes I thought I remembered something like that. I can think of nothing better than just getting away from everything and having some peace and quiet sometimes!

I think the reason people dont like turkey is they think its too dry.

But if cooked correctly it shouldnt be.

It should be moist and very tasty.

I also like doing my own baked ham but doing a big un is a waste unless you have a lot of mates

Yes you're right, done properly it's lovely, I did mine upside down a few times so the breast was underneath and it was gorgeous! Just too much now as there will be just 3 of us this year! Z

I always buy a Turkey Breast off of the bone, if you wrap it in streaky bacon it stays lovely and moist.

sausages rolled in bacon and left overnight in a tray of beer.

brilliant to eat after dinner when everyone else is asleep from the main meal.

"Is Anyone Else Having Something Different than "Turkey" ??

kinda fed up with turkey and wondered what other dinners - folks had..

We were thinking about having some nice T-Bone "steaks - that is lol"..

Any Ideas ??"
I love tone steak. I always add some garlic to it with steak house shake which you get from sainsburys. Sea salt and pepper. Leave for as long as possible and cook. I slow cook mine in over or fry on really low heat as like my meat very rare
