[Closed] An Xmas moan ... first of many?

Good local butchers and free range chicken, you'll thank me for it.

Merry Xmas x x x x x x x x x x

Drac - yes I agree but this has only been thrust upon me. Normally I would place an order in November so am assuming it's too late.

TSY - can you order it in your name please, seeing as you're their favourite customer? 😉

Give them a shot we put on our order on on Friday, we do know the butcher though.

Tesco Crown FTW. 🙂

Haha! I was going to tell you off for blaspheming!

We're having a bird inside a bird inside a bird inside a... yep, bird this xmas. If you get stuck you can have one of ours.

Time for more humour:

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr what am I doing wrong????

i thought you were gonna say pig.

Can't you just buy some other shopping to get the value up to £50?

I hope not, the rest will probably be 'A Xmas moan' 😉

CG only works with Youtube and maybe Vemo.

Iceland special!

TSY - this bird inside another bird malarkey just sounds so wrong. Could never eat it/them. 😡

The little one in the middle is stuffed full of pork 🙂

the rest will probably be 'A Xmas moan'

Even I know that's wrong.

Can't you just go to the shop nearer the day and buy a turkey? IME they get plenty in at this time of year 😉

Iceland special indeed Drac... [s]you can **** right off[/s] your card is going in the bin 😉

THIS

Can't be faffed paying £stupid for a bloody turkey. Hence we've done chicken/pheasant and duck in recent years.

And while you're there, pick up a smoked gammon joint. Easiest thing in the world to cook, tastes damn fine and soooo versatile for Boxing Day onwards.

I've found the answer to your problems

[url= http://www.greggs.co.uk/menu/christmas/festive-bake-2?gclid=CO_L8JCe_6wCFZQhtAodhgvjSQ ]Here. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm[/url]

They're not open on Christmas day, but you could get them a couple of days before, then whap them in't microwave

And while you're there, pick up a smoked gammon joint. Easiest thing in the world to cook, tastes damn fine and soooo versatile for Boxing Day onwards.

There's a recipe sharing thread right there... did one in Coca-Cola last year then a honey and mustard glaze... started picking at little bits that had flaked off it whilst drunk on Xmas Eve... good job there was someone there to stop me.

But TSY they're only £10 how can that be wrong?

No. Just No. Smoked gammon in deed. Do your own ham dead easy, Coco Cola one being a classic but works best with cheery coke.

you'll never be a mod if you dont send them christmas cards yeti!!

BOOOBIES

(are your guests going to know where the bird is from? would've guessed a turkey from tescos will taste the same as a waitrose one after its been cooked and covered in cranberry and stuffing)

[i]It appears I am now 'doing Xmas' [/i]

CG.
Change the record.
You always moan about Xmas.

You're lucky to have company / family for Xmas, or anytime for that matter.

I, like others, will be alone on Xmas day.
Not looking forward to it that much.
But I will make the best of it.
No moaning from me.

From my point of view, cooking Xmas dinner is nothing to moan about, if the reward is sharing good times, with those you love.

Just get into the spirit.
Cos as you know, Xmas is coming, its going to happen.
Whether you like it or not.
So you might as well get into it.

[b]Happy[/b] Christmas to you and yours !.
😉

Shut up Phil - everything from Waitrose tastes like virgin mermaid thighs.

I asked a SingleTrack person about becoming a mod... he said "[s]who on earth would want that job[/s] don't spoil your creativity."

Yeti - are you going to produce the birds from within the 'cavity' of the other birds with a flourish? Like pulling a rabbit from a hat?

TA-DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Solo - I don't want to be pedantic, but....

You always moan about Xmas.

Auntie C_G said nothing about Xmas through the entire months of...

January, March, April, May, June, August, September and October.

Binners - It's an idea, I was actually just planning on setting about it with a bloody big knife whilst cackling maniacally.

What kind of inhumane witchcraft is this?

Turducken?

Anyway. I have Xmas dinner sorted.

mermaids dont have thighs.

your move x

At Waitrose they do...

There's a recipe sharing thread right there... did one in Coca-Cola last year then a honey and mustard glaze... started picking at little bits that had flaked off it whilst drunk on Xmas Eve... good job there was someone there to stop me.

I'm with you on that one 🙂 Here's a few (homemade only) we do:

- spaghetti carbonara
- pizza (the best food in the world)
- risotto (with leeks, shrooms, pine nuts and parmesan)
- quiche (typically with red onions, gruyere and shrooms)
- coleslaw (traditional but with apples and celery)
- numerous sandwich/bap/wrap combos

I'm going to get a bigger gammon this year.

And a bigger pot to cook it in.

Thanks for making me laugh and thanks for making me feel sad.

Solo - come now, I don't really moan [b]that[/b] much. I've told my family that they have to help cos I can't lift anything heavy due to my separated shoulder from bike accident.

I've spent Xmas on my own before and you can have the trails to yourself. Take a picnic to your favourite area and escape the madness. 🙂

Everyone round to Jamie's for Christmas dinner

[img] [/img]

YAY!!!!

I did a dress rehearsal for Christmas dinner on Sunday. Just to be on the safe side. Mission accomplished! I could barely move for hours

PARP!

i'm going to jamies for xmas dinner

(he might not know this yet... dont tell him, i want it to be a surprise)

I'm prepared to ditch the bird inside a bird and come to Jamie's if we can {content removed}...

Looks like its everyone round to Jamie's then. I'll bring a sausage roll - inside a pasty - inside a pie

Hmm. Looks like I might need some more food....

Wee update: I followed Drac's sensible advice and paid a visit to my local farm shop, whom I have used before. Relief as I wasn't too late to order, also stocked up the freezer with more of their delicious meat. I did however give the Artisan bread a wide berth. 😉

C_G's moaning has ended. Over and out. 🙂

A friend was telling her elderly dad about the river cottage bloke Hughs 'Bird in Bird Chrimbo dinner .

He asked about the different birds involved ..

Turkey , Pheasant , Partridge , Black Cock etc . .

"Oh , Ive never had a Black Cock " was his enlightened answer .

Cue a tray of roast potatoes all over the floor and general vizz style chortling from 'younger people' in the room.

I'm not a big fan of turkey to be fair. This year i've convinced Mrs BB that venison roast is the way to go (and not tell the kids what it is or it'll be Bambi 🙄 ).

Not done venison before so should be good to try out as i traditionally do christmas dinner.

Lol at stm! These multi-stuffed birds - it just isn't right.

Bird in bird indeed! It's like the razzle pile up for poultry.

i'd be happy with beans on toast if i'm honest

I'm not a big fan of turkey to be fair. This year i've convinced Mrs BB that venison roast is the way to go (and not tell the kids what it is or it'll be Bambi ).

Pop a maraschino cherry in there somewhere and tell em it was rudolph (look theres his nose!)

Im home alone for xmas but the alternative was a two week tour of the in-laws, so I reckon ive dodged a bullet.

Coldland

What kind of diseased, warped, twisted mind thinks up stuff like that? 😯

The little one in the middle is stuffed full of pork

I'm sure I've seen a german sexy film with something similar 😯
