After seeing how many MNer's were actually vomiting over Christmas, I hope it wasn't because of this? www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5212851/Tesco-ruined-Christmas-Customers-slam-supermarket.html

We bought the largest, cheapest bird we could find (£12.00 from Iceland and it fed 10) We covered it in streaky bacon, slathered it in anchor butter , stuffed onions and bay leaves inside - and honestly you could not tell it was a frozen cheap bird. Would buy this again! Bargain! WWYD next year?

4.7kg Sainsburys fresh. Cost £18. Did the Raymond blanc method and it cooks in an hour and a half. Was fecking delicious. It fed 4 twice generously with a bit left over for a stir fry.

A bronze free range from M&S, 5.5 kg for 7 adults and 4 very little ones. Can't remember the price, not cheap. Plenty with plenty of leftovers, which we like. Was v nice, moist breast, but that was maybe partly because I rested it for an hour upside down. First time I've thought of doing that.

We always buy FR now but TBH I don't think they taste any better, and in the past we've had frozen and they've been fine too.
