Non-Turkey Christmas Dinner

[coffeejo]

I'm thinking along the lines of sausage and mash, to be preceded and followed by vast quantities of mince pies and chocolate.

I'm fancying a rare fillet steak, mushroom and onion panini this year, with some kind of relish. Or something to that effect.

I'll be on a ship in the channel so I'll have to look at the menu.

it'll be Polish meal on xmas eve with girlski and her siblings. no idea about xmarse day, don't care, i don't celebrate, so whatever we decide on and requires the least cooking.

We cant decide whether to have a turkey crown or a piece of beef. Personally I will go for the beef option.

Hotel time for me, so realistically it will be a couple of slices off the biggest, cheapest and most tasteless turkey the kitchen can find.

• I haven't cooked turkey at Christmas for a few years, we always have chicken.

Good shout, though I do find it a bit of a PITA to cook, with all the tipping out of the fat...

For being a thread about not having turkey, there are a lot of people having turkey.

Turkey free Christmas here.. We're having the biggest bit of Rib Eye we can find. Cooked rare for me, and cremated for MrsPetexxx

...using the tried and tested 'leave half of it hanging out of the oven' method.

[QUOTE 2824154, member: 259"]We're having another bloody turkey again this year - much against my will.

I'd much sooner have a goose. [/quote]
This .....
Last year we had ribs of beef as an alternative, but goose wins hands down for me. Turkey sucks.

This year it's Turkey at the sister in laws .... and I'll have to stay sober to drive later ....
