Eat what you want, there's no laws that say otherwise. Will probably have a curry for dinner or a canadian goose (tastes a bit like swan) 😛
I've had lamb for xmas dinner before as I'm not really a fan of turkey (well not huge dry ones that my mum cooks). This year I'm doing Xmas dinner and we're having duck.
I had Christmas in Denmark last year and had a duck course and a pork course (and about 10 other courses).
Any meat is good meat 😀
I'll be eating another one of Mummy's fabulous roast Christmas dinners - it will be turkey as she's very traditional - at 91 she's allowed to be!
Lamb why not just make lots of slits in the meat and stuff in Anchovies, garlic & Rosemary Yummy!
Have what you want. What ever is a special meal for you. **** the traditionalists.
OP has said she is cooking for other people, some people are more traditional than others. I did shoulder of lamb last Christmas day in the slow cooker, but told the people who were coming that was what we were having. That way there are no surprised faces, and people who were looking forward to Turkey. This year, I fancy doing ham, egg and chips, all home made 🙂 I don't really get tradition.
About time people dropped the whole American Thanksgiving Turkey thing at Xmas, in the UK. If you really want to go 'traditional', then get a goose. Or a duck, if there's just a couple of you. Duck is delicious.
If you think turkey is 'traditional, you may as well have a McDonalds, cos that's about as 'traditional....
Bangladeshi cuisine for xmas? Hell yes.
Why not? How about a nice lamb curry? 😀
As others have said; have what you want. If you're cooking for others, either they're grateful of the effort you're making for them, or they can get lost, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm with you on that. Turkey is a crap meat to have any day of the year, sod tradition not celebrating some dudes birthday just giving people presents :roll:! Bring on a lamb and beef combo I say
Get some salt-marsh lamb, that stuff is excellent - we got £25 worth as part of Christmas lunch last year but it didn't go far between 12 people, so we had a load of turkey & gammon as well.
Tasted lush after being cooked in the slow cooker.
