tesco are doing them half price, i thought there was going to be a big increase in there price, so ive got it early

I like a crown....I .dont get a big one ...

mine dont like turkey prefer chicken so to save waste we have chicken now at least we know they will eat it without moaning

Got mine on order from a local farmer, we get a fresh one.

Chicken for Christmas Day and Roast Beef for Boxing Day. We did used to have a turkey but most of it ended up in the bin or the cat as no one likes the dark meat

i looked for a crown but they had all gone, how much are they fresh from a farmer x

we went to vist ou son in Chester a couple of weeks ago and passed a huge field full of turkeys ....as we passed I said " Awwwww " OH just rolled his eyes ...lol

We get a mahoooosive one every year which costs us about £35 but they are always lovely and tender.

Hayley i used to work on a farm plucking the turkeys every year after me brother killed em, they stink.

Dont do it anymore it's too cold for me now.

Do you eat it al ?

i couldnt look at something alive then eat it coochy coochy coo, im going to gobble you

will be beef in our household this christmas day, dont like chicken or turkey much.

and boxing day, my daughters go to their dads, so its anything really, at lunchtime for me, and then i do a cold cuts buffet for supper

love cheese cake gran of oz xx

Yeh we eat it all but do have 8 of us for dinner and tea every year, plus we give some to my uncle to take home with him for boxing day.

Its part of the country life seeing things alive then eating em so its what ive always known.

We're having beef this year, with all the trimmings.Hubby don't eat meat, so it's up to son/daughter what they want, I'm not bothered, eat anything me :)
On boxing day, when family arrive, I usually do a hot/cold buffet.Not got anything in yet LOL so it will be one big frantic rush this weekend :)

Being a gamekeepers daughter we had lovely home grown chicken, duck or goose at Christmas....................with pheasant and venison too.

We still have home grown veg as we have an allotment.

It would cost a fortune to buy those meats now....................we have a turkey in the freezer for the Sunday between Christmas and New Year when we will do a huge roast for the family.

We meaning my husband will do the actual cooking.......................I hope!!
