For all you turkey haters have you tried a proper farm bought free range turkey that's been properly cooked.
Yes and it is still bland, cost a damned fortune as well :mad:. The point I make to turkey lovers, how often do you have it? If it is so great then why do people only have it at Christmas?

I presume people traditionally got a turkey because of its size and it has stuck ever since. I don't dislike it, I just don't think it is worthy of being used on what it supposed to be the biggest meal of the year in a house.

Turkey is lovely if cooked properly.

i don't agree, the dryer the better as far as i'm concerened.

My wife hates it so we don't have it very often, not even at Chrismas some years, always go to about 3 Christmas lunches and buy sliced for sarnies quite often.... then theres chestnut stuffing...drool
 
Sorry to read that you've tried proper farm free range and still not liked it. We only have it at Christmas because of the cost and also there's only two of us at home now. Other one to try is the famous Goosnargh chicken, duck and turkey.
 
And back to mince pies......
Just been into town (it was rammed) but stopped off for elevenses.
I can recommend Cafe Nero Starred Mince Pies, warmed up with a cup of Earl Grey Tea.
Nice.
 
Tired most of the big supermarkets for a turkey crown (usually only cooking for 4 max) and Waitrose bronze feathered version has been version of choice for the last four years on my Christmas table. HID cooks it great and always moist and it does have taste.
 
I prefer chicken to turkey also. Don't mind turkey but would go for chicken given the choice.

We've gone for a crown this year. Not too much wastage on the crown.

With regards to mice pies, I love mice pies, Lidl, M&S, Tesco I care not I eat them.
 
I may have an issue. My daughter actually bought me two boxes for my birthday this weekend. I currently have 8 boxes, 6 per box, stashed away in the freezer :unsure:. Even I am struggling to justify adding more to that number.

I've just added some mincemeat to some natural Skyr yoghurt. OMG, it was delicious.
