    We will all be looking forward to turkey come Christmas day.

    Hubby and I also have turkey quite a bit throughout the year, I heard it is meant to be quite good for you somewhere along the line.

    Not sure if this is true but it always tastes good! :D

    I haven't a clue what we are going to eat this year - but probably chicken or pork ...... we usually have one or the other - turkey is too much for just 3 of us and if I get a big chicken we can eat it for ages too!

    It looks like I shall be cooking for the family 3 weekend plus Christmas in a row. One minute I don't think anyone is coming then suddenly, I'm doing the 'grand shop'
    I normally like to cook a ham and a turkey crown. Or I shall be doing beef and pork.
    The boys like to have a bit of each.

    I don't seem to eat so much meat myself preferring lots of veggies and yorkshires with everything.

    But'Puppy' is definitely off the menu robertis

    Turkey for us. Keep a little in the fridge for sandwiches and any left over will be put in individual plastic tubs with stuffing, chipolatos, gravy (marked and dated) and frozen for Legs' ready meal collection. We get fed up of it otherwise.

    Luv Legs :D

    Bunny pie sounds quite nice - but on the other hand I do like them as pets so I'll cancel that thought for another year!!

    We have turkey (not a whole one - just the crown), ham cooked with cloves and honey and the usual trimmings. My mum brings the starter and pud. My mum and dad get a doggy bag to take home.


    Drool! Drool!

    Hi, were on a tight budget but were are lucky as M-in-law buys the meat for sunday dinners & christmas.
    So we have Turkey, 1 of them 3 in 1 birds & beef. She's gone a bit over the top this year. But we divide up what meat is left over.
    Its the same sundays.
    I always cook for an army,so i get a roast dinner for Monday ( yum )
    inlaws take home the mash & all the veggies for a bubble & squeak. so no waste here. :D
    Just have to find the energy to cook it all. :roll:

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Not a puppy in sight.

    Ok - I hold my hands up to not being the most traditional person in the world so Christmas dinner for us this year (as every year) is having all the family and my best friend and her family round, having fun games, watching christmas tv and chatting over pre dinner drinkie poos - then sitting down to our lovely dinner....... delivered by our local chinese take away :shock: . I suppose you could say that technically we have duck, chicken and pork - it just comes in little foil trays :wink: .
    I do make the trifle though - and the christmas pudding has been made and stored away too so there is a home made element in the meal.
    We do use proper plates etc although my husband did laugh last year that we should have paper plates and plastic cutlery so there would be no arguing about who would wash up and I did consider it for about 2 seconds before throwing out that idea - only because I like a nice table setting.
    I suppose that makes me an unconventional conventionalist :lol:

    We won't be having turkey. When i was at home we always had beef as ,my younger brother is allergic to white meat :shock:

    Since leaving home, i've just carried on cooking beef as for me it's Christmas dinner and i'm lucky that Tony always like beef. If we go to a resturant around Christmas i always go for the turkey though.

    And Boxing day dinner? Cold roast beef, loads and loads of bubble and squeek and branston pickle..............lovely

    The first Christmas after Frank died, my sons decided that it would be easier all round if we went out for Christmas lunch. I had mixed feelings, but it was great, and we have gone every year since. The restaurant make it really special, and you have your table for the whole afternoon - you need that much time as they serve eight courses!

    I still buy a turkey crown, and we have that with all the trimmings, at home on Boxing Day. I feel much more relaxed by then, and all the pressure seems to be off, so it`s more enjoyable.........Ange.
