Could H5N8 Mean There'll Be No Turkey On The Plate?

[sandyRoe]

Could this latest outbreak mean the supply of turkeys at Christmas will be restricted?

Can we be that lucky?

There is no outbreak. One duck on one farm was found to be infected so all the ducks have been destroyed. Hopefully that has contained it.

Apparently not...

You can bet at the very least the prices will go sky high.

I'm going to buy a frozen one in tomorrow, just in case.

I never liked it. A roast chicken is far tastier.

I've got a goose in my freezer. And a duck.

[ummmm]

I haven't eaten turkey since I was a child.

yeah but no but .... the outbreak concerns chicken farms....

Turkeys apparently are not affected ( you turkey )

[sandyRoe]

Then there'll be plentiful supplies for those who want them.

Spare the turkeys, eat Humans!

Nut roast makes a perfectly acceptable dinner. With Christmas crackers, paper hats, and a couple of bottles of wine most wouldn't notice the difference.
