Re: Xmas dinner
Beef last year but madam has decided we're going back to turkey crown this year.
I'd rather have a couple of geese but she doesn't like them.
Beef or pork joint for boxing day but she hasn't made her mind up which yet. So I might get both & stick then in the freezer.
And a large ham.

Re: Xmas dinner
A big chunk of beef in the slow cooker, and some clove and ginger gammon. Not a fan of turkey.

Re: Xmas dinner
I like confit or slow cooked Turkey legs, a nice piece of ham plus a lovely cut of beef cooked the low side of medium rare.
Boxing Day is sorted then as well

Re: Xmas dinner
If you do Turkey crown it must be wet brined otherwise itβs just bland and often dry due to no bones and no fat on the breast.
I much prefer the dark meat of any poultry.
