Christmas eve and Bob's forgotten the turkey.

He nips along to the local butcher just about closing time.

'I forgot to get the Christmas turkey, and my wife will kill me if we have no turkey' he says.

'OK' says the butcher.' Let me see what I have left.'

He goes into the freezer and discovers that there's only one last scrawny turkey left.
He brings it out and shows it to Bob. 'This one is normally £50 but I'll let you have it for £20' says the butcher.

'That's no good, it's far too small. Have you got a bigger one?' says Bob.

The butcher takes the bird back into the freezer and waits a few minutes and brings the same turkey back out to Bob

'You're in luck' says the butcher 'This one is a 'no-show', but it's gonna cost you £30 as it's much bigger'

'No, no' says Bob, 'That really doesn't look any better at all and I have a large family get together to think about'

'Looks like I have no choice, better give me the both of them for £50' :icon_rolleyes:

Seriously Steve, it's OK for about a month or maybe 2 at the most IMHO
There should be something written about storage on the product itself.
Depends at least on how long it's already been frozen, and on the temperatures previously used and to be used in the future.
Anything over 2 months at less than minus 18C is questionable IMHO

Good luck

[grahamw48]

Haha...good one Peter. :icon_lol::xxgrinning--00xx3:

Neither me nor my wife care for turkey at all. :NoNo:

[grahamw48]

I will be having my traditional baked beans on toast...as an act of defiance. :smile:

[Iani]

Friend of mine has had a turkey in her freezer for something like 16 years.

[grahamw48]

It must have died of old age by now. :icon_lol:

[Michael Parnham]

There is a spare seat and plate at our place also, no food though:icon_lol: don't mean it Graham, your welcome anytime!

[Terpe]

I'm not sure exactly when Turkey became the food of choice for our British Christmas?
When I was kid it was always Chicken. So yummy too.:hubbahubba:

As far back as I can remember Chistmas Dinner has always been focussed around a cockerill (capon), never turkey.

Yes, I know I'm getting on a bit now:olddude:

[stevewool]

Carina's not fond of breast meat.
She seems to really enjoy chewing on the bones like wings, legs, thighs and ribs. :icon_rolleyes:

I enjoy some of that meat also especially the legs, but I do enjoy Breast(s):xxgrinning--00xx3:

[stevewool]

snap Peter, i asked Ems if she would want a full bird because of the bones, but as i am the cook for xmas its down to me she says.its easy to cook the breast then the whole bird, plus trying to cook it and the veg and the pudding, well the cooker is not big enough

[andy222]

God knows what time my xmas dinner will be. Depends what shift I am on.:bigcry:

[Michael Parnham]

Don't mind what bird we get as long as I don't forget brussel sprouts, I love them!!

[stevewool]
