I think we're having venison. Or Iron Age pork - getting them from the blackface website - they do real mutton too!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

we had goose last year, very nice too, although, we had breast fillets cos my lovely butcher said it would work out cheaper cos of the waste on a big bird when there is only 3 of us.
this year we are having venison, we try to have a new meat ( for the boys) every year, so they get to taste things other than chicken which is usually all we can afford any other time.
next year we are going to have pheasant.Last edited by BrideXIII; 03-12-2008, 05:50 PM.Vive Le Revolution!!!'Lets just stick it in, and see what happens?'

I must say, we always have TWO roasts for xmas day, not cos we are greedy, but boxing day is scrabble (curried bubble and squeak) and cold meat day, so i like a choice of cold meat.Originally posted by HeyWayne View Post
as we are having venison steaks, there wont be any leftovers, so i will do a chicken, and a ham on xmas eve, so we have a selection for boxing day.Last edited by BrideXIII; 03-12-2008, 07:17 PM.Vive Le Revolution!!!'Lets just stick it in, and see what happens?' Cigarette FREE since 07-01-09 Comment

Ah now...this Xmas should be fun back in the Uk....my oven has finally packed in...the combi oven/microwave sometimes only works with the oven ( is tiny and is hormonal) and we have a small microwave.
There should be 7 of us for most of the week
..oh and only 3 of my 4 hob rings work!!!
..in case you are wondering why it's all naff.....if we sell the house, then it can stay as it is. If we rent the house, we'll buy cheap and cheerful replacements..and if we move back to the Uk, we'll buy top of the range again...choices..choices!!!!

I had Goose last year, and very nice it was, but at £50 for a medium bird I didn't think it was as good as that. For the same money I could have a leg of top quality lamb, a couple of Gressingham ducks, some venison and a pheasant for a game pie.
I know which way I'm doing it this year.

Nicos, you have my sympathy on the cooker front.
We just moved into this house last February and the kitchen needs totally replacing.
There was no cooker at all and we didn't want to spend until we decided what we wanted to do with the kitchen - so have been managing with a Baby Belling (2 rings and oven) and a microwave.
But manage we have - some good food's come out of that kitchen.
The new kitchen goes in January - and I'll have my luxury range cooker. Can't wait.
But in the meantime there's Christmas. Not worried - the cooking will all happen - even if I have to get the BBQ out.

We had a (well I didn't as a weirdo freak veggie but everyone else did) pheasant in a chicken in a goose last year - £73 !!!
This year (credit crunch) I'm cooking them an Aldi 3 bird roast for a tenner. We've trialled it and it's OK, if a bit dry.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment
