[Food] Which bird will you be roasting this Christmas (2023)

[crodonilson]

Well it's that time of the year again folks, Christmas lights going up and preparations being made, a fortnight or so of Halloween and Bonfire activities and then we're into the final straight for Christmas 2023. With this in mind people will already be planning the main spectacle of Yuletide itself, Christmas dinner. Looks like with a combination of the resurgence of Covid and the cost of living crisis more people than ever will be having a digital Christmas and staying at home and with the price of butterball turkeys up some 60% on last year it will be an expensive Xmas/winterval lunch for man. So which bird(s) are you planning on roasting this Christmas?

f*** Christmas

None of the above.

We are pescatarian so probably some fresh fish in a local restaurant called Zion.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Beef Wellington as normal.

No birds chez PotG.

We're strict vegans so it'll be a turkey.

I am ignoring Christmas this year. Sick of it.

Made me wonder, whatever happened to @yourmum?

 

[The Fifth Column]

Your Mum.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

None of the above.

And after all the moderators' efforts to keep Zionism off the conflict thread, you have to go and spoil it. Dear oh dear.

Turkey already on order from Handcross Butchers

Shouldn’t there be "No idea, ask me again after I’ve got back from Lidl on Christmas Eve" option?

Turkey crown/pillow/cushion/whatever - seems to go under a number of names.

Ordered already from my local butcher (in Westdene). It's turkey breast wrapped in bacon. Delish, and dead easy to carve. No brown meat, no bones, no fuss.
