Those sliced turkey with stuffing and ham parcels

[MissMalteser]

Wibu to buy these from our local food market and serve them on Xmas day? Those ones you get served at Xmas dinners and things? I’ve just thought about it and seems so much less faff, I would also do extra stuffing separately, but the thought of not buying/storing/cooking and carving a massive turkey that no-one is really fussed on anyway, really appeals!

Would you mind this?

Oh no, no no no no no no.

@RedLife really :( honestly we’re a family who is all about the sides (and 6 different types of stuffing) I may put it to a family vote and see what they think 😂

I'm only pulling ya leg. I'd do it especially as no one is bothered. No one particularly likes turkey here so we're having gammon and lamb!

I still can't picture what they are?!

I would be so much happier with that than turkey! Pretty much everyone ive had Christmas dinner with only really just about tolerates carved turkey because its Christmas. I imagine loads will now come on to disagree with me but if it works for your family and they prefer it then go for it!

Sorry I have no idea what you're talking about. If you are cooking christmas dinner for other people, its up to ypu what you cook. If they dont like it, they can habe the faff and expense of cooking next time!

Sounds fine, so much less hassle than a big turkey

For those asking it’s these bad boys!

I've never seen those before. They don't look at all appetising and personally I'd rather buy a turkey crown but if you like them then there's nothing wrong with having those.

Oh god no they look awful! Just do a chicken or anything or just the sides!!

When you said parcel I imagined pastry. Disappointed now!

I’m considering something like this that is minimal fuss and is a bit more attractive.

I’ve never see those before. They look like they’ve been made with cheap sandwich meat [hurl]. I wouldn’t serve those, no.

😂 that was the best picture I could get but the ones they serve in restaurants for Xmas dinners etc can be quite tasty! Honestly 😂

M&S and Sainsbury’s do a “ turkey crown “ which is just the breast. It’s not as processed looking as the ham and stuffing sort.

Bleargh! They look anaemic! I really thought you meant some delicious puff pastry type confection, a bit like a turkey and stuffing pasty wellington.

I agree that doing a whole turkey is an ott faff if you're not that bothered about the meat, but there must be something else you can do? What about a nice roast chicken?

I've never been served that in a restaurant at Christmas. The components have always been served separately.

I'm all about the sides too but from the picture above it would have to be a nor from me, it would be really not a special meal. I would just get a turkey crown and some pre made stuffing. Really no effort at all.

The way that is presented on that pic is horrible 😂

I'd rather have a festive bake from Gregg's

Never seen it in any restaurant! So basically just a slice of ham, some stuffing and a slice of turkey? What's so different to any other roast? Where would you buy it to serve it like that?!

I would consider that inedible. Why would you want to serve up such crap on Christmas Day? Turkey isn't obligatory, how about a rib of beef or even a nice free range chicken?

Sorry that pic looks awful! What about a frozen joint from Iceland? They must be better than that!

I'd rather have a pot noodle!

That looks grim. If you don’t want to do a turkey, just do a chicken, or whatever, but please don’t serve two slices of aneamic water injected reconstituted “meat” with some stuffing made from the scraping of the factory floor.

😂😂😂 you all have my doubting my decision now! Happy to be told aibu but full disclosure I may do it anyway 😂
