    Why do we eat this sh1t meat ?

    I've just put a massive leg of lamb into the oven set on a 5 hour slow cook. Hopefully it will be delicious by the time it's done.

    But the question remains - why do we eat this dried out bird ? It's drier than a nun's craic and yet every year every ****er comes to it :pac:

    I used to come from the same school of thinking, but you can make the turkey so that its not as dry as a nuns craic as you say. Used to hate turkey as well, cause it would always be really dry and id rather have brussel sprouts then endure that, but it's been edible in the last few years, so...


    And feck your lamb,get some duck, mmmmmmmmmm

    Its only dry and tasteless if:

    a) you buy a poor quality bird
    b) you haven't a clue how to cook it.

    I've eaten plenty of cheap lamb before that tasted of nothing.

    All meats can be poor.... all can be great!

    I'm all for turkey!

    Ostrich for me today. Turkey is delicious if you know how to cook but it's pauper's meat, not suitable for Christmas.

    Dried turkey = Knuckle head who forget's to rub the turkey with herb infused butter and covering it with tinfoil before placing it into the oven .


    I'm guessing you know not what a turkey baster is ?

    90% of Irish people cook a crap bird or craply cook a good bird.
    I have a free range , bronze turkey and it is always beautifull when cooked well , butter basted, etc .

    Probably one of my favourite drunken memories is chasing wild turkeys around a forest in Connecticut. God, they're fast bastards.

    We haven't had turkey for years. Everyone gets their own meal.

    To all you eating lamb.........that's a poor little baby sheep you are eating.

    Evey bite you take makes jesus cry another salty, bitter, painful tear.

    You should be ashamed of yourself.

    Duck here too. Turkey is really a waste. Duck leftovers are really tasty in sandwiches.

    If people are having dry, tasteless turkey it's their own damn fault for cooking it badly. End of. *Waiting for big, delicious, moist turkey dinner*

    The turkey is only to roast the sausage stuffing in.

    The problem with Turkey or any dry meat is that people just can't cook it properly.

    If it's seasoned well on the skin, underneath the skin and in the cavity and basted regularily etc etc, it'd make a big difference. Just bunging it in the oven for a few hours won't work!
