    I find Turkey so tasteless and boring to eat. I wish I didn't as it has even more protein than chicken.
    It's not even Christmas day that's the problem, at least its warm then. It's the next 10 days when its cold and the slices become less and less lean.
    This year I'm pushing for Chicken.
    Why can't this become the new norm. I'm sure most people prefer chicken, you don't see any Kentucky Fried Turkey food joints anyway!
    Turkey or Chicken?
    I'll add a poll.

    You know you can do something to fix the problem of it being cold, right?

    We had goose 2 years ago and i have to say it's much nicer than turkey, only thing is the goose needs to be a bigger weight than a turkey to feed the same amount of people, savage though! The ham takes care of the sandwiches for the following days. Finally turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce turn that miserable bird into a delight.

    Edit: I actually think Atari Jaguar would be funny in this poll, quite the exotic dish!

    I love turkey. I like its taste, and cooked correctly it won't be dry.

    Prefer it to goose, which is a tad greasy.

    Glazed, clove-studded Christmas ham trumps both though.

    No, this is how we're going to get the global population back down to a reasonable level. 3 Billion would be a good number.

    Turkey is nice if it's cooked properly, you can have chicken any day you want.
    I will be having turkey and duck. Turkey is binned after boxing day.

    they eat so much they can't fly and are stuck there for a day digesting it while trying to avoid the neighbours cat

    You can have Turkey every day too. But on Christmas I'd love eating a whole chicken bird, just like we do with the Turkey. Maybe even shove chips up its behind

    No you cannot have turkey everyday, you have to feed them for them to grow big enough to be killed, plucked cooked and eaten.

    You can stuff your chicken with what ever you want, it's behind is quite big.

    Would you fit a small Turkey up there, or maybe a duck? That might actually be a good idea.


    You can have Turkey sandwiches from a Deli any day of the week.
    I'd prefer anything that the crappy boring Christmas dinner.
    The ham, jesus the ham:rolleyes:
    It's supposed to be a special day when the mother ship brought the first peoples here after being exiled and we're eating the same crap ever since.
    Why aren't we splashing out and having fillet Steak or something? You know the huge fillet Steaks you can get in a posh restaurant with lots of veg. YUM YUM!!!!

    This is where you are going wrong Fcuking turkey in a deli ffs.
    Steak is bad for you. I suggest you try salmon with a nice pasta and salad.

    If one bird is lasting 10 days then I doubt it's a turkey.

    Im on the fence about Turkey i dont dislike it but im not really gone on it either.Chicken however on Christmas day is just wrong

    Turkey
    I'm really surprised so many people are happy with Turkey on Christmas day.
    Christmas day we should be eating like it's our last meal on death row. There's no way those folks would be eating Turkey and sprouts.

    This year for Christmas dinner i'm going to be cutting turkey strips about an inch and a half thick and wrapping them in thin hickory smoked bacon, roast them and serve them on a slice of honey glazed ham with some nice moist stuffing underneath.

    ****ing. Nyom.

    Steak isn't really bad for you, it's mostly dependent on how much you eat and how the cow itself was fed.

    Proper grass fed cow yields a nice steak with a much healthier balance of fats and plenty of flavour.

    It really is quite tasty. I've had to experiment a lot for the stuffing as this is my first gluten free christmas and most gluten free bread tastes like ****.
