Christmas dinner

[coreopsis]

I ordered my meat from the butchers yesterday-lamb,stuffing,capon(our dog will be obsessed and possessed by magic word "capon" for at least 2 weeks after Christmas-camping in the dining room day and night)and the other bits and bobs.
What are you having for yours(except turkey?)

[bobleponge]

I shall be having either goat or camel or a plate of veggies if its fish on the menu.
Pah.
My first wife was a Jamaican and to be honest curry goat on christmas day evening was very nice but not the way they serve it here.
Homesick here, me? Nooooooooooooooooo

[BrideXIII]

erm we have..........

venison steaks, pork loin, and a chicken, followed by leg of lamb gammon, and ............ I think i will stop there.

i like a few cos we eat so much cold meat after the day, i like a choice

[OverWyreGrower]

Our turkey is being slaughtered today, so we will get that at the weekend...

I am hoping to cure then roast my own ham over Christmas as well, so, turkey and ham for us!!

[coreopsis]

I had venison once,nice taste but very hard-at the end of the meal I was tired of chewing so I'm not a big fan.OH likes it though.
I just remember-I have 2 pheasants in the freezer
Choices,choices...

[coomber]

Our turkey is still running around in the field next door
We have also ordered a ham and a joint of beef, yum yum yum

[shirlthegirl43]

Turkey ordered - didn't ask when it would depart this world Hope to find a nice ham later this week. Venison ordered for New Year feasting (will be marinated and roasted slowly to preserve flavour and tenderness.

Turkey ordered - didn't ask when it would depart this world

The only reason I know is that the turkey-owner asked if Mr OWG wanted to despatch it himself tonight

He politely declined, and said we would come get it at the weekend....

[beefy]

The Beefy's go to wife's sisters every year( 3 sisters and parents , and parents of brothers in law) so there are around 24 of us for Christmas Dinner we all provide bits and pieces for the meal and as far as I know so far there will be
Salmon (caught by me earlier this year)
Prawns
Pate (various types)
Pork Fillet (stuffed)
Silverside of Beef (home grown on our farm)
Turkey crown
Ham
Duck
Goose
Pheasant (4 breasts)
Venison
It's usually ends up as a carvery where everyone takes what they want and whats left over is sent home with whoever wants what . We always get a bigger dinner on Boxing Day than on Christmas Day.

[Alice]

I've given in to the price and gone for goose for Christmas day.
But for the whole feasting period I've got hare, pigeons, duck, venison.
My darling husband came home with the most enormous ham. Not sure where we're going to fit that in.

[lynda66]

probably a pot noodle and a couple of sausage rolls

[SarzWix]

OH managed to pick up a free range chicken which had been reduced in the Co-op today, so that'll be our Christmas dinner. We'll probably try and get a ham from the farm shop for Boxing Day & sandwiches, and hopefully a small beef joint too, coz I'm not keen on ham but love roast beef!

In a Forrest Gump stylee - "Ahhh's ah gonna git me sum Roadkill."

Believe me, that kinda stuff goes down in Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana! A friend of mine in Marianna, Florida has alligator for festive dinners. He shoots them...

...With a 50 calibre machine gun. I have witnessed this.

Puts the small shot you sometimes get in pheasant into perspective then
