We're very fortunate in that we get given a turkey, and it's always a big bugger. Pork joint and a chicken for us, Quorn pie for the veggies. Missus and the lad are veggie, mother in law can't have wheat or cow's milk and the sister in law is allergic to nuts. How the missus makes something for all of us baffles me every year.

Something like that. Problem was I was taking the presents for the cash for kids scheme so the car was full so the turkey had to go on the front seat. Nearly ended up through the bastard windshield when I had to slam on on the 61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best suited to a Bolton accent in a Peter Kay stylee imo. Turkey is a word that doesn't fit well with a cockney accent - along with Jojoba.

With that, I'm off to be the fishing scales... 22lbs. Edited December 24, 2019 by Tonge moor green jacket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Turkey for the meat eaters, nut roast or quorn roast for the veggies, and probably a Greggs sausage roll for the youngest. The last bit is more than likely true unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted December 24, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted December 24, 2019 Ordered a Free Range Norfolk Black a few weeks ago at Morrisons. £6.75 per Kg. Took it for a ride around the store and on walking past it flicked its drumstick towards its inferior cousins which were obviously kept cooped up in sheds rather than having sunshine and rain on their backs. Them fuckers were £3 per Kg. Thing is, they say mine was a free range one but how the hell would I know? Is free range worth paying more than double?

ErnestTurnip Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Old rum bloke I used to work with from bmet wasn't much of a bullshitter and always claimed his dad had killed a swan for their christmas when they didnt have a pot to piss in, did time for it as well or so his story went. He didn't go as far as telling me who had the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
