What should I have for Christmas lunch?
 

Completely undecided.

Just the two of us this year, don't want anything too intricate but handy if it provides a couple of extra meals in leftovers.

So - what do you reckon we should have? (and what are you having?)

1. Turkey Crown - traditionalesque without the hassle of a whole bird
2. Bone-in Rib Roast - Flintstone style porkchops but made of beef - how cool is that?
3. Pork with full on crackling - will have had my new teeth fitted by then so no probs there.
4. Goose - the outsider, never had one before but might be good for a change.

I'll be having smoked Salmon with all the trimmings probably! :thumb:

get yourself down to aldi 3 bird roast for a tenner :notworthy :notworthy

Steak and chips for me :thumb: i hate Turkey, its foul ;) :lol1: :mad:

Intrigued - which three?

It'll be a sandwich for me!

Working a 12 hour shift from 8 to 8 on xmas day - maybe longer.

I'd go for the beef. Turkey's too dry and goose is far too fatty for my liking. And I don't dig on swine.

we usually put a turkey, a joint of beef and a goose on the table for the family to help themselves.

carnt remember :wonder: now was on 1 of there tv adds the other night. i think my mum had 1. ill ask her

;) :D

Turkey, Goose and Duck I think!

Don't worry, found it. Turkey, chicken and duck.

ALDI - Sunday Special Buys 2nd December 2007

If you're going to do turkey, then at least get a full bird!

The leg meat is far nicer and less dry than the breast.

:lol1::lol1::lol1:

Made me laugh out loud mate. Good evening:thumb:

Oh doesnt them pics make your mouth water :notworthy

Pickled onions and alcohol, ferk the rest. And make sure when the missus is lying on the sofa to let one out in her face in the evening during the eastenders special.

No.

I've just eaten too much chinese take-away and feel sick.

You missed off Swan:confused:

He's a sweaty, not from Eastern Europe :D

The queen will have your head for that.

Ah chinese my fav :D

The choices are narrowed down to that four, swan was discussed briefly, very quickly followed by GTF.

That beef picture is certainly moving it that way but the poll is firmly in the turkey camp.

Decisions, decisions.....

Yuk.I hate turkey.. so everyone else gets that, and I get a free range corn feed organic chicken:luvlove:

but the rib sound like a good plan... moff to the local butchers tomorrow to place the order so might get one of those for boxing day:thumb:

Turkey's like cardboard, unless you're having the dark meat.

When do people ever really eat it? Not often 'cos it's not particularly nice!

Roast beef roast chicken and gammon is the way:thumb:

Will be having a Chinese meal somewhere in San Francisco's Chinatown en route to spending January on holiday in New Zealand

:smug:



PS Any recommendations for a good Chinese in San Fran (other than the House of Nanking) ?

I wanted to do goose last year, but wifey used to keep them as a kid and vetoed me. I've never had good turkey.

With the exception of psl most of us still got teeth ..


:nono:

Goose for us this year-looking forward to it.

Les:)

I originally voted for pork with crackles, my favourite sunday lunch. But thinnking back to the goose we had last year I think I want to change my vote :D
