We are having Goose, picked it up today. Nice big 6.5lb'er, free range and organic from a butchers in the next town over. Cost £45.
It is more than we would normally spend on meal for a meal of course, but Christmas only come once a year and hopefully it will be scrummy!
Just interested in what other people are having for their main meat and how much they paid for it.

We also have a ham joint (£10) and i bought a Rib of Beef for New years day (£16).
We usually have a frozen supermarket Turkey but decided to splash out and treat ourselve this Christmas.
We did too, we usually have a couple of ducks that are about £6 each.
I forgot about the ham. I think that was about £8 as we got it when they were on half price and stuck it in the freezer.
Iceland Gammon joint £6.
£3.50
Venison steak from local butchers. probably a bit more steak than ideal for one meal but it was that or too small. Might keep a little for a bambi butty.
Marinade it in soy sauce and olive oil with added flavours. Three minutes each side on a blazing griddle. Honey roast parsnips, Portabello mushrooms and roast shallots on the side.
Fru Key Lime Pie to follow - likely with some Port and Stilton, when I say 'likely' put the mortgage on it.
Sumptuous:cool:
There's only two of us this year so a turkey would have been too big and unmanagable, and neither of us are huge fans anyway.
I've bought a gammon to cook too - £10 from Asda. Am going to do the Nigella thing and boil it in cola before baking it with cloves and black treacle
Sweet!
Surely you could have pushed the boat out and stretched to Spam as it's a special day?
No, to me Beef Burgers from a can are special.
£35 for a turkey crown, £22 for a gammon, and £12 for chipolatas!
