I was reading Nigella's new book about the turkey and just recall that she said that in her opinion leftover turkey should be eaten cold, either in sandwiches or as various salads and recall that she felt that it didn't reheat well, taste and texture wise.

Although she's not the oracle on all things cooking! ... can't believe I just said that!

Sounds good Yorkiegirl!

I'm just off to join DH in a bowl of chocolate log and ice cream, can blame that one partly on MN and partly on Nigella Lawson, was having a look at her new book to see what all the fuss was about they way she cooks chicken and low and behold a couple of pages on she has this chocolate log that looked very simple and sounded very good! Only thing is it seems to go on and on and there is so much buttercream icing in it and on it it feels a bit like tucking into a pack of lurpak!

I'm gonna make a Turkey and ham pie tomorrow if I can be arsed.
