Turkey's lovely if cooked properly, there's 3 ways I've found that work:
  • Deboned, stuffed & sewed shut - favourite method but takes a bit of work
  • Brined, soaked in a salt & sugar solution, herbs & spices optional  - works but have had complaints it's too salty - although the complainer didn't complain when she didn't know I'd brined the bird
  • Good temperature probe allowing you to stop cooking as soon as up to temp & then allowing the bird to rest while the spuds roast.

Regarding ^^^^^^^^

Brussels or not to Brussels!

God no.

Though in this case they are at least a minor part of the meal so as long as they don't end up on my plate i have no objections.

Last 12 xmas dinners have been spent in disgusting restraunts in the marina at Puerta Banus, probably have to do the same again!!!

Last year for two

Garlic mushrooms and Bruschetta

Pizza, spinach, chips and ketchup

Pancakes and grand marnier

Two nice bottles rioja

Try that menu Dubai, we enjoyed it.

A roast Camembert served in the wood case it comes in sliced open with a selection of breadsticks & batons of carrot & celery keep them busy, is tasty & easy to do, also doesn't fill the guests up before the big feast.
