Christmas day meat...
Have you ordered yours? What meat are you having and where from?
I'm ordering mine from sainsburys tomorrow. A boneless norfolk black crown, with chestnut, bacon and thyme stuffing. Serves 6 and it's £30. |

I normally get a boneless butterfly breast from my local butcher, I tell him how many people it's for and he works out the weight for me. Really tender and easy to cook, hardly any waste. I'd like to cook a whole bird one year( just so I can say I have
) but don't have the fridge space for the leftovers.

One year we got a Duchy Organic Turkey Crown reduced at Sainsbury's, it was lovely but every year since i've looked for it but they don't stock it anymore. |

I'm ordering mine next week from my fabulous butcher - locally reared organic turkey crown and I think a smallish ham. We're also ordering a huge fore rib of beef for New Year.

I've literally just ordered a big rib of beef from our fab butchers. I cooked goose last year and love it but fancy a change this year.

We ordered our turkey from the butchers last week. It comes from this place http://herbfedpoultry.co.uk/
It will be a minimum of 19lb! We had one last year and it was the best turkey I've ever tasted. We also have leg of pork.

Turkey from a local farm.
I've already chosen it - and named it Tina. Was going to have a goose like in 2009, but I'm off the idea now since it's become a middle-class obsession "Daaaahling, you simply muuuhst have a goose this year". Oh fop off! We used to have one way before Nigella told you to. |
