Andiewoo

Beef, chicken or turkey and ham

Pan Roast Chicken Breast A Confit of Potato & Fois Gras In A Parcel of Crepinette, Red Wine Jus
Or

Roast Sirloin of Prime Irish Beef with Cracked Pepper & Horseradish Crust, Roast Potato, Truffle Pudding, Natural Gravy

Or

Traditional Stuffed Turkey & Ham with Gruyere & Smoked Pancetta Croquettes, Traditional Turkey Gravy

Beef is a supplement of €3 each. All 3 taste delicious. We will have salmon too.. Which would you choose??

Turkey and ham sounds great to me.

Feck I'm hungry now.

Stay away from turkey and ham just after Christmas... We're having a chicken dish on New Years Eve...

Beef.

Not turkey and ham. Guests will already have had their fill of it.

I would go with the beef or chicken, people will be sick of the sight of turkey after Christmas.

We had chicken and beef at our wedding and we had no complaints to our face anyway, I was super impressed with them at our tasting and if accompanied by the right ingredients chicken shouldn't be bla!

It's very hard to keep everyone happy though but go with your gut :-)

nobody complains to your face. You just gave them a slap up meal on the greatest day of your life, how rude would that be to say the beef was a bit fatty

I always think to myself (the beef is fatty/dry/lukewarm/sparse), always eat it, and never say a word to anyone.

chicken if done right should be corn fed and succulent and damn right tasty.

I did say nobody complained to our face but that's not to say it wasn't said to someone!

The people who matter the most on your special day won't care about the food, band etc, The highlight of their day will be seeing the people they love join their lives together, Soppy I know but true :-)

I'd vote for chicken except for the fois gras bit. I'm a bit funny about it. I'm against it on principle and am still amazed in this day and age of animal rights and protection they're still ok with force feeding animals to their deaths.
Feels a little revolting to me.

I agree- would definitely stay away from the turkey and ham, people will have it coming out of their ears come the 30th!

Personally I'd go for the chicken, but I'd see can the fois gras be substituted with something else. Any weddings I've been at where beef was served I've always been really underwhelmed by it. In contrast, I've been to 3 who've served chicken and it's been awesome! At one of them my hubby chose beef instead of chicken, and when he had a taste of mine he was raging he hadn't chosen it. A lot of people are fussy about how they like the beef cooked; from well done (burnt IMO ) to rare and you can't please everyone! At least with chicken it can only cooked the one way.
