I'm with you on that Moy, I don't care for turkey neither does my wife.

If you want to stick with tradition why not just go for a nice fresh cockerel instead. You may still find one at your local butcher.

We always have cockerel every Christmas.
Hmmmm, tasty and tender.

You'll probably not get Faverolles (the best breed imo) at such short notice. But anything you get will be so much better than turkey.

BBQ On the beach vs Turkey hmmmm

[Englishman2010]

I'm undecided, I've got a choice of two options in my freezer - Chinese style crispy duck (without the pancakes) or a 4 bird roast (Turkey, Chicken, Duck and Goose). I did have an option on a pheasant too, but I forgot to pick it up from my colleagues house when I dropped him off yesterday.

This is really true. I opened my front door yesterday morning to find a pheasant sitting on the doorstep.
I had to shoo it away before it would move :icon_lol::icon_lol:.

When I was a kid we had plenty of pheasant and also rabbit.
Can't stand to eat that now.
