Turkey question ... yes, another one

[naz_nomad]

Am I the only one that's not bothered if I never eat it again? What a bland chunk of overhyped consumerist cack it is.

[Athley]

Don't eat it then!!!!!!

[naz_nomad]

I don't ...DUH

[ummmm]

I don't like it. I buy a small turkey crown, just because it is christmas and cook beef and gammon as well

We are having octopus for Xmas dinner this year, that also tastes like cack, but everybody gets a leg!!

ummmm ... if I wasn't off abroad, I'd be round yours for a slap-up cow & pig roast ... mmmmmmm

RoaldoM ... the reason that turkey is naff shouldn't be blamed on the fact that I always got mine from a friend that raised them, or on the fact that it was perfectly cooked. It's sh1te, and that's a fact. (Delicate? ... yeah, whatever ... unless delicate is a poncy word for bland). BTW, I love fish and pork, turkey isn't even the same damn sport.

Nice one Ratter, made me smile ... truth is, I'll probably be having goat or summat in Tunisia for my dinner on 25th.
(probabaly lamb though ... although dog's ok if cooked well)

Hi Naz, turkey is my least favourite meat and i wont have it again until next christmas, except for the entire week after the 25th of course. :-) My hubby loves it but i find it bland too. I would rather have a chicken personally but hey, its tradition!!!!!

[naz_nomad]

I hear what your saying Julie ... but I suppose if hubby does all the cooking etc., then it should be his choice ... lol

[unruliejulie]

errrrrrrrrrrrrrr, no i do it all but like i said, its tradition and i dont hate it, just prefer other meats. i can manage one day a year though. :-)

[naz_nomad]

i was joking about hubby doing it ...

[unruliejulie]

i know, lol he could, if he really wanted to, but he has a lovely wife to do it for him so why should he???? ;-)

Hey Naz ~ How ya doin?
Can't stand turkey myself, but I think that's probably a result of having to face it for chrismas day and then again for days afterwards when I was younger. For years my mum got a huge turkey given to her by my dad's boss and as a result of this, me, my dad, my brother and my sisters had to endure turkey risotto, curry, sandwiches, soup, etc etc. My mum's a veggie so she didn't eat it.
Turkey ~ Yet another useless American import!!

Hi Samuel ... turkey is always best the day after boxing day, because then it's usually a curry and tastes nothing like turkey.
