I'm confused. What do you sit down to eat as a family on Christmas Day that doesn't incur your horror?
As it's not too cold this year we are having a picnic, so sandwiches, and I'm making a coffee cake. Might do some vegetarian sausage rolls too if I have time.

Then it'll be off to local arboretum for a few hours.

No horror in any of that unless it rains them we'll have to change our plans.

Big believers in doing things we like at Christmas and not feeling forced into false gaity and masses of food we aren't keen on. Always think there is a reason many Christmas foods are only eaten once a year.

We have a frozen turkey too. Reading the comments here taking it out tomorrow is good advice? I was going to leave it until tomorrow evening but it is frozen solid so perhaps taking it out in the morning is better?

Molliepops maybe you should try the tofu turkey (I love that old US sitcom)

I've just been given a turkey, which I have no immediate use for, so it has had to go in the freezer.
It is a highly superior turkey, and research has revealed that it would have cost £80!

So you're telling people not to over eat, then you're complaining about food not being eaten.

You eat what you want to eat. The rest of us will eat what we choose.

I ddin't think there was a risk of transference to humans for this strain of bird flu - least of all via consuming the meat.

.
I,m not sure of the risk of transference to humans, but I saw a tv programme recently, i cannot remember exactly which one Gmtv? This Morning maybe? Whereby they advised to buy a frozen one this year to avoid any risk
.
They said the frozen ones would have been frozen some time ago, before the outbreak started.
