We have 7 people for Christmas dinner and always have enough for a curry. We go for a large bird though. I'm going to miss my goose this Christmas.
It's because I'm cooking it upsidedown that makes me think I don't need to. Does your wife cook it that way?
I've never tried the upside down thing. I usually do seasoned butter under the skin then plonk streaky bacon in a lattice over the top. Best part of being the chef is to then eat the bacon when you take the bird out.. I also cook it on a bed a veg and put chicken stock in, cook the bird covered in foil then remove the foil for the last hour or so. Makes nice juice for the gravy if you mash all the veg up then seive it all into the gravy mix. I'm not doing any cooking or entertaining this year. Got family over from Spain so am at the folks both days.
Some of the bruisers down here won't be giving their valley lad an option. "Crack on butt or I'll ****ing chin you! "
To start with yes. But tbh she does all sorts of things with the damn bird before it goes into the oven (no ****ing innuendoes needed! ). We're also having beef and she'll do some **** with that as well. We're going to her cousins on Saturday so she's marinating 2 legs of lamb on Friday. They'll then be whacked in the oven for a few hours before we set off. They'll be bloody awesome! Downside, It's just a 300 mile roundtrip for an afternoon party. You know, the sort of mad idea of organising a family do where everyone gets to spend all day parked on the M25 at Christmas that only a woman could dream up!!
Ah, the sensible option! It's just more evidence for me that all women are bloody mad! If proof were needed!
You need a plan. You're ****ed this year but work on it for next, a man needs sofa and beer at Christmas.
Yeah of course you did mate... It's not that you weren't expecting 4/5 posters to say they had almost instantly at all
Goose is lovely. But the fat!! I remember having to empty the roasting tin twice. Have two jugs of goose fat left over though!
Turkey is my least favourite meat but we still have it every ****ing year. ****ing mugs, all of us. I've requested duck and beef this year.... I'll get Turkey.
