Which Bird will you be Roasting this Christmas/Winterval?

[halbpro]

I think it'll probably be Turkey. Will be going to my mum's and she's quite traditional normally.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

No birdies, beef & lamb.

On the subject of reviving old threads, where's the NSC's own Secret Santa CD this season?

Turkey and Duck.....

The Duck is being shot on Sunday as it happens!

 

[smeg]

Beef Wellington for me

 

[Dolph Ins]

I'm going to have that effing sparrowhawk so it doesn't keep being posted on here as 'can you identify this bird'. Yes I can it's my Christmas dinner.

 

[looney]

Depends what birds I can grab at a market, Redhill market have been doing Pheasant and Partridge so hope to grab some of them with Turkey.Failing that I'll do a gammon joint with the turkey.

 

[grubbyhands]

It was going to be venison but the beef wellington suggestion has got me thinking. mmmmm.

 

[dazzer6666]

Cow (beef forerib)

Will be cooking birds in some game terrine - pheasant, duck and partridge.

You can't hang a duck for three weeks, the fat will be absolutely rancid by then.

Well I will have to cook it before then!!

Same as last year - your mum.

Took two pages for that to be posted, unbelievable really.

 

[maltaseagull]

Most likely Lampuki

A delicious local fish

That's 2016 for you. Standards have slipped.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Another vote for that favourite flyer - venison

 

[carteater]

We had Goose last year and it was great, so we're doing it again this year.

 

[Brian Potter]

Mrs Potter will be combining the two - Venison Wellington for us this year. Living in Norfolk I suppose we should really have turkey, but there are only the two of us an to be brutally honest I am not really a turkey fan.

 

[crodonilson]

We’re having chicken this Christmas for a change.

 

[BensGrandad]

We bought a boned and rolled Turkey and boned and rolled Turkey thigh from Thornes Butchers in Martletts centre in October and put them in the freezer. We have no waste and I am not keen on wife using the bones for a stew as in my young days with a Capon.

Well, I'll be having turkey in the garden at around 34 degrees (fingers crossed). It was lovely last year sitting in the shade of the tree. Prawns are always tempting but preferably with peri peri sauce and rice rather than salad. Keep it spicy!

Coupla years ago a small turkey roasted in the oven, a boiled gammon joint and a steamed duck on the braai with cherries and honey it was amazing. Coupla Black Labels or more and a dip in the pool happy days
