They're annoying aren't they? AIBU?

I know what you mean. I bloody love turkey. And sprouts. In fact at Christmas my personality is pretty much "why don't we eat this all year round?"

Nolegusta · 17/12/2024 17:48

I've never met anyone like that tbh.
I hate the stuff though.

Eminybob · 17/12/2024 17:47

This is my mum. I always tell her it's because she doesn't cook it properly as mine is never dry. She also makes not liking sprouts her personality as if she is the first one.

We re having cockerel this year. Mainly so we can make jokes about giant cocks with crispy skin in front of the disapproving in laws

I'm not keen on turkey and we do something else but I don't kick up a fuss about it and will eat it if given.

I think people think it's trendy to be anti turkey. It's like a couple of years go when it was eating out on Christmas day v not eating out and views were very polarised and vocal.

Is this a social media thing?

not heard of making pro or anti turkey a whole personality either. Do they sell T shirts?

I feel personally attacked.

(I prefer beef).

I prefer beef. I don't like the texture of turkey. Although my husband has smoked turkey legs like they do at Disney. That's ok.

Yes you soon know the turkey dislikers. It’s dry tasteless etc. they then eat a goose. Which can be unpleasant if badly cooked. Goose can also be gamey depending on breed.
I might be turning into a no turkey for Christmas dinner because I’ve got some as pets. They are lovely birds and I’m not sure I can eat one of their brethren

BoobyDazzler · 17/12/2024 17:43

It’s quite normal to talk about turkey being the most boring meat in the week before every is planning to eat it and hail it as the pinnacle of the whole years cooking.

Unless you’re talking about people who talk about it on the other 51 weeks of the year, yabu.

(Turkey is only worth cooking for the turkey & stuffing sandwiches… and tbh you may as well do a chicken)

Crispynoodle · 17/12/2024 17:43

The people who think Turkey is dry are not cooking it properly. Phil Vickary's method never fails

I thought you meant the country!

I've always disliked turkey but I hosted and did my own turkey last year for the first time and it was actually nice! Turns out it was just my parents cooking of it all these years that made me hate it

"Oh you're not having turkey are you 🤢, we certainly won't be, we don't eat the dry tasteless stuff any other time and fail to see the appeal, we're much more specific in our tastes" those guys? 😂😂

It's meeeeeee! Lol

Justmuddlingalong · 17/12/2024 17:36

I know a family who have turkey for Christmas dinner, even though none of them like it.
When asked why thay had it then, I was told it's traditional innit!

user23124 · 17/12/2024 16:25

I always think "oh ok, you are a poor cook who can't handle a turkey" and smile and move on. More for me.

Me too. My immediate thought of people that “don’t like turkey” is that they’re rubbish cooks.

EveryOtherNameTaken · 17/12/2024 17:26

🤣

Yes. Going going on about it's dry. That's what gravy, cranberry sauce and bread sauce are for.

Then it's onto the lack of flavour - see above.

Price - it's once a year.

It really is entire personality thing 😂

mondaytosunday · 17/12/2024 17:08

Exactly @user23124 ! My turkey is not dry and tasteless! It's not my favourite meat for sure but I wouldn't consider anything else. I've had goose once which was an interesting alternative but I love turkey.

LoobyDoop2 · 17/12/2024 16:31

It tastes gamey to me. Horrible.

GrumpyPanda · 17/12/2024 16:27

LoobyDoop2 · 17/12/2024 16:23

It’s so tedious! And what they’re actually saying is they don’t know how to cook turkey. Mine isn’t dry and horrible. It must actually take some effort to get something covered in bacon to be dry.

All my parents and in-laws are vocal turkey haters. I have been presented with every kind of greasy game bird turkey alternative in existence (and yes, that could well be bad cooking as well). Goose was a particular low.

Goose isn't "game bird". Takes some effort to get it wrong 🤣🤣
