Who ISNT having TURKEY this year???

[DanJARMouse]

And what are you having instead?

We are having pheasant and im quite looking forward to it.....

Can't bear turkey so I always insist on goose or beef. This year it's goose - and it keeps me in goose fat for the year for potatoes! However, at 7 1/2 months pg I shan't be cooking it this year, my Ma will be (just hope it fits in my new oven).

Turkey, but stuffed with duck, chicken and stuffing.

Turkey alone is too bland IMHO

Am doing beef wellington for us... yum yum

Not sure yet.

Roast Beef here
I loathe turkey only condone it if cooking for more than 12 people

We're on a sort of Italian themed xmas this year.

we're cooking a big bosnian 'sač' (sort of like a hotpot) outdoors on an open fire IN THE SNOW!!! With lamb or young beef and all the veg. Can you tell I'm excited?!

lol
MN doesn't do special characters then!

beef, thought about duck but friend has organic beef farm so bought some of his. can't wait.

Dh refuses. It was always dry putrid stuff from his childhood.
Its not my fave either.
We will have roast lamb.
Maybe a bit of duck to start.

we don't have turkey but then we are vegetarian. Not bothering on crimbo day either cos ma and sister are coming boxing day and i'm buggered if I'm doing 2 roast meals.

Me. I'm doing goose. I'm also doing a pork joint and a steak and ale pie!!

Beef Lasagne for DH and DS. Veg Lasagne for me. Will have ready the night before so can just sling them in the oven. Minimal washing up.

We're having rib of beef.
I've never understood the fuss about turkey. Plus there's only three of us on the big day itself.
And rare beef sandwiches definitely trump turkey ones.

We'll do a ham as well for The Descent of The In Laws (imagine sinister music here) on Boxing Day.

Us - seafood - prawns, fish, etc yum!

But it is looking like being 30 degrees celsius at least with afternoon storms - not really the weather for hot chrissy dinner.
