Christmas food/meals

What is everyone having for their Christmas dinner this year? I'm intrigued to see the variety Grin

Mine is going to be pigs in blankets, stuffing and a potato Potato (random I know)

  • We have goose and roasted ham every year instead of Turkey. Stuffing roasted vedge etc relatively generic stuff but I prefer goose over turkey cause of if the crispy skin you get like you do on ducks. We have Christmas day then have a family shoot the day after Christmas. I get more exited for shoot day than I do Christmas. My extended family own a farm so we shoot on there land.

  • Never actually tried goose, what is it like? 

  • So good ironically in England goose use to be what the poor ate at Christmas time now it's the other way round as goose is more exspanvie than turkey. But it's a bit more gamie in taste similar to duck similar to pheasant like a cross over between the two but not as dry as phesant but as moist as duck. I'd highly recommend it over turkey any day. Only downside is is you need a second lot of meet as geese tend to be smaller. You also have to do a bit more prep when it comes to taking out its inners too but coming from a farming/shooting background myself I got use to that from a young age. Like I ahd to learn to pluck and gut the phesant and partidge I shot too. Etc.
