It will be chicken for me and those I am with this year, the 6 year old thinks as soon as chicken goes brown it is cooked, 
and keeps looking through the glass door to see how it is getting, going to take him to the beach out of the way this year!! 
Price will be about the same as last year..

Good point! I usually just buy a block but you can't beat the freshly extracted stuff. Bit of a hijack but must talk about the trimmings. As you've already said, goose fat roast potatoes. Another favourite is slightly caramelised roast parsnips and carrots :lickface:
Never before has a thread made me so hungry!!!

We don't "do" Turkey- none of us like it and I won't eat the bloody stuff just because it's "traditional."
In fact, when the kids are flown I don't think I'll "do" xmas anyway..
I digress, I expect I'll do a big chicken with lemon & oregano, and either some beef that'll be eaten on boxing day too- or a gammon chucked in the slow cooker and left to get on with it.
I loathe xmas cake- but I do like xmas pud with home made brandy butter. However, I may well get an individual sticky toffee pudding for myself- xmas pud is sooo heavy to eat soon after a big meal.
I will be continuing my invented tradition though- cook has to be semi-sozzled on sherry by dishing up time. Makes it far less stressful.

I'll have the children's mother round, (itz only fair), and she will do the turkey. I will do what I always do, the roast potatoes, home made gravy, sausage meat, onion, and home grown tomato stuffing. I have already chosen picked and frozen the tomatoes! lol
mmmmmmmmmmmmm I like the sound of that stuffing - what time shall we be there!!

We have turkey (steaks, cubed etc) at any time of the year. It's really not special.
But I've taken to doing steaks - the very best rib-eye we can afford - along with the rest of the 'normal' Xmas trimmings. Last year we splashed out and had a Yorkshire Pot - 4 birds, increasing in size, one inside the other and sewn up. Most of the bones have been removed so it carves really easily. fabulous - but flaming expensive.
Question - do you have Christmas Pud? We're alwasy too full for much afters so if we have one it comes out on Boxing day instead.

I normally cook duck - my favourite. I used to cook goose but there was never enough meat for the size of bird, lovely though a goose is.
Last year with 4 people for Christmas I cooked two ducks successfully but this year it will be six and I draw the line at cooking three ducks so turkey it will be though I find it a blander meat.
I always cook a prune and sausagemeat stuffing, sprouts (the devil's cabbage) for those who like them with glazed chestnuts, peas, parsnips, roast potatoes, a vegetarian nut roast for the awkward one (joke - its not a problem)), bread sauce, chipolatas wrapped in streaky bacon and an orange and white wine sauce/gravy.
The Christmas puddings were made this weekend and I'll be nagged to make some Calvados butter to go with it. Some insist on Birds custard though.
We keep the top rib of beef for the New Year and that is when I make gougere, a cheesy choux pastry
alternative to Yorkshire pudding.
I'm hungry already

I've been asking Santa for one of those in my stocking for years but the bastard always lets me down
Depends if you've been a good girl this year? :twisted:
And I always thought it best to have both on my xmas pud. A scoop of calvados cream melting into the birds custard...pure bliss!

Turkey for us as usual. *Him* would prefer a goose or something equally posh but I am a real traditional girl and my christmas has to be the same every year. I LOVE christmas. :bounce:
Turkey, roasties, yorkshire pudding (i'm northern, we eat it with every roast) stuffing, carrots cooked in butter with onions & garlic and probably broccoli too. No pudding here but there MUST be at least 2 tins of chocolates opened along with nuts and biscuits so thats snackage sorted.
Last year I cooked for 8 which was interesting. This year it's just the 2 of us having our first christmas alone as newlyweds
Every year we get a turkey WAY too big so will be eating it for at least 2 months following lol. Good job we like it.
