Turkey: Just say no

[Rawwr]

Turkey is dreadful. Everyone knows this. Is anyone else having a much tastier alternative this year?

I have a fillet steak the size of John Candy's thigh, along with chesnut mushrooms, broccoli, baby carrots and sweet potato.

I think I'm winning.

Yep, got a ham and cheese sandwich in the fridge.

[GroundEffect]

A huge cured and smoked leg of ham.

Turkey is American.

[PurpleMoonlight]

I had paella, and cheesecake for pud.

Chicken and Gammon here for the father out law and I.
OH has gone pescatarian after a countryside living friend brough a brace of pheasants when we had him for Christmas last year and they looked beautiful with their shiny colourful plumage still on, and then tasted crap and were really chewy.
So it's a pre-filleted piece of trout for her.

I like turkey, more flavour than chicken.

Roast beef just out of the oven and resting now. If it tastes as good as it smells there shouldn't be any complaints !

What's the traditional Christmas dinner if turkey is American? I'm having turkey and ham either way, I'd just like to know.

[Rawwr]

Just finished my steak. That. Was. Amazing.

Turkey is only gross because everyone overlooks it. When we are not in Austria (where Christmas food binges appear non existant) we go Capon, Goose, or rib of beef, and a ham on the side.

Southern fried chicken strips (cold) and cashew nuts for me.

I really wanted steak, but there isn't room for me to cook it . So stuck with turkey.

Didn't make breakfast till all the presents were opened at around 10 then we had a 'fry up pack' from our local butcher. 2 black pudding, 2 mealy puddings, 2 rashers of streaky bacon, 2 rashers of back bacon, 2 beef sausages, and 2 pork sausages per person served with scrambled eggs, fried mushrooms in garlic butter, grilled tomatoes and toast.
We've got roast beef and honey glazed ham with all trimmings for lunch, but at the rate the breakfast is going down, it'll be dark before we even start.

Lamb shoulder. One of the tastiest cuts of meat out there.
