ideas for food other than turkey

Dh and I are not huge fans of turkey so looking for other ideas, not necessarily expensive! DD is 3 and eats most things, may also be joined by my sister. In the past we've had rib of beef which was lovely, and curry (not as nice as the takeaway!).

Doesn't have to be expensive, just nice and perhaps something we'd not have every day.

Also looking for ideas for boxing day as probably will have the inlaws then.

Only thing that I've thought of so far is venison stew (never cooked it myself but had in a restaurant and loved it) and beef wellington (ditto).

Loling at three birth roasts, ouch! :)

I've only had pheasant once and found it really dry, but I'm sure that was how it was cooked. Does put me off a bit though.

I know what you mean about duck, it isn't that special but I suppose it is something different to what we normally have. Still v undecided!

They've got 3 bird roasts in Aldi already. My brother had it last year and was pretty impressed

Nice bit of salmon maybe? Aa there are 3/4 of you for dinner, you could splash out a bit.
