Enough for 19

We've never had turkey..... it's not culturally traditional for us.... but we did used to have roast veal for years :erm:
I had two bowls of homemade ravioli in brodo this year.....
Turkey? Not been there yet either ;)
we had a small turkey
for two and a half of us (nephew doesn't eat much so he classes as a half)
so dad and i are using the rest tonight for a curry
i spoke to my friend on xmas morning (as i was running round preparing the meal) and mentioned i had to go because i was cooking the turkey...which he found highly amusing and begged me not to cook him (he's from turkey) :rofl:
Wow I'm the only person that hasn't got any left makes me think the size was right 8lbs for 3 adults (that eat a lot). The legs/wings etc. were chucked out though cannot be bothered with the old soup, curry etc. thing - Just frozen 1.5kgs of beef cos couldn't face another meal today... Had mince pies with ice cream and cream for dinner!!!
Anyone fancy a chocolate (we've got over 12kgs of the stuff)
Not a Turkey eater at Christmas either. :erm:

The turkey was about 6lbs.
There was eight of us.
About half of it is left.
Trouble is, there was also a joint of beef and a leg of lamb.
The dog had the last meat (and bone!) from the lamb and I had the last of the beef in a sarnie earlier, I guess the turkey just wasn't as popular.
Had a turkey joint, apparently feeds 6-7 with stuffing and bacon on top.
I was going to do it, but she who must be obeyed decided that I'd screw things up (WTF?) and would be a martyr and do it all herself.
So she screwed up the timing and the turkey wasn't ready in time (cos she didn't read the box. apparently the best cooks don't :confused: ) so she had to nuke it.
The veg was so flavourless (no idea how she managed that).
So I'll be glad when I get back to my parents and cook myself a proper meal
I'm normally vegan (out of choice, and it ain't because I feel bad, it is purely for health reasons, I still like the taste occasionally), but for Thanksgiving and Christmas turkey is a must. We had a big bird, I don't know for how many people. We were 16, and there were left overs. We also had ham, and all the trimmings such as stuffing, cranberry jam, and pumpkin pie. :D
