stumfelter 3,034 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Never had turkey at Christmas in my house. As it's just me and my daughter (the wife is a vegi) I'm thinking Pheasant or duck or something. A few years ago I bought a boned pheasant which was filled with stuffing, I have no idea how the hell they managed to bone it and leave it looking like a full bird but it was amazing and very tasty! I boned a pheasant once but it didn't make good eating afterwards, a bit salty. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder why it was salty? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bird 9,873 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 We took my Mum out for Xmas dinner one year. It's just not the same, not to mention horrendously expensive. I think it suits some people depending on where they are in their lives. If you haven't got many people for xmas dinner for whatever reason, maybe just the immediate family, then i think it could be good being in a busy country restaurant, for the atmosphere. 90 quid a head seems a typical price but I'd certainly pay it, at least one year to see what its likes. I reckon in a decent pub it'd be sound. You have to try everything at least once. We were in a decent pub and the food and drink was very good. It's hard to explain but not being able to mong out in your favourite armchair when you feel like it kind of spoilt it for me. yep its nice chill with full belly on your favorite settee after lol , you get some strange looks laying on top of the table in the restaurant , when the dinner finished 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lab 10,979 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Well decided this year we will not do the usual visiting everyone.....wee man should get to play with his toys and everyone can come to me if they wish. As for dinner it's going to be turkey and I'm having a bit venison. Probably gorge myself on prawn cocktail as per usual and struggle with the main. Drinks will commence early as I can...? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,705 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) I'm doing a buffet and making Christmas dinner last for two days! A joint of beef, a gammon, a turkey and a venison leg. I'm just going to cover the dinning table in food and have chips, roast potatoes all set ready to stick in over whenever people fancy em... There's me and the mrs and two boys. 5 of her family, 3 of mine. My step son asked his dad and his dad mentioned his dad is alone so he's coming as well. Our year old ex neighbour has just lost her twin brother so is alone....so she's coming as well....so that s 15 for Christmas lol ?
