I prefer any alternative to turkey. Chicken, beef, goose, pheasant, lamb. We have Yorkshire puds with whatever kind of meat we're eating because DGS loves them.
Yes, if it’s cooked so it’s not dry, we eat chicken at least three times a week or more. Love all the Christmas accompaniments too, especially bubble and squeak with cold turkey and gammon on Boxing Day.
I do enjoy the turkey on Christmas Day but like you I probably enjoy all the side dishes even more. I’d be happy with pigs in blankets, stuffing and roasties!
I’ll be cooking roast beef as well as turkey for my non turkey eating grandchildren and my brother. I really enjoy the leftover meat in a sandwich on Boxing Day sitting relaxing after the busyness of Christmas Day.
I'm not too keen on turkey either - neither are my daughter and children. Going to hers for xmas lunch - it will be chicken and. beef, and all the trimmings and Yorkshire pudding. And we don't like xmas pudding - it will be a choice of trifle and merangue.
DH loathes turkey with a vengeance. We may have rare breed pork this year from our local organic butcher. That plus proper bacon would be a real treat as it’s not something we can generally afford.
We always have turkey as DH is a traditionalist. We do all like it but I'd be happy to eat something different. I too like every thing that goes with it. I buy DH and I an individual Christmas pud which is just enough
I personally am not keen on turkey but like all the trimmings that go with it. Love pigs in blankets, stuffing, vegetables (I really love sprouts). Christmas day is the only time that I ever eat turkey but would prefer a good roast beef and Yorkshire puddings. Do you stick with tradition and have turkey because that is what is expected or do you opt for something else that you would prefer to eat? I don't like Christmas pudding either far to rich after Christmas dinner.
