Re: What are you buying for your christmas dinner
I'm cooking Christmas lunch for my son & his family. I was going to get a turkey crown but we got talking and it seems we all prefer chicken to turkey but it's just so ordinary isn't it?Anyway if chicken is what they want chicken is what we're having. I went to M&S last week and picked one up for £6 - It's gone straight in the freezer. I know they love gammon so I got a gammon joint as well.
There should be enough for the six of us and hopefully some left over to feed Tony & me on boxing day.
Sorted.

The butcher told me 3 hours at 160. Does that sound about right. I do not want to ruin it. ???

Re: What are you buying for your christmas dinner
I've got the family here this Christmas, so it will have to be turkey. Instead of gammon, we'll have a slow roast joint of our own 'Oxford Sandy&Black' pork. If we want a starter, it will be crab salad. I have a case of Biddenden English wine in the cellar, so that will go nicely with it.I'd prefer goose, but it's not big enough for the six of us.

Thank you--that is exactly what my butcher said. !!

Re: What are you buying for your christmas dinner
mmmmm one recipe on the internet says cook it overnight for 9 hours--also it cannot be carved--just pulled away. This will be different.Do you think a pork stuffing and cranberry sauce will go, and an onion gravy---I think it might.
