You’ve got to get them to yours next time and shoe them how it’s done? That sound horrendous- I can’t believe anyone would use bacon lardons as a sub for kilted sausage. Straight red card and sine die ban for that alone.
What does the wife say about it? Is it one of the situations where she thinks it’s normal cos that how she was brought up?

They can’t even talk properly, they all just grunt and gesture and literally shout when communicating.

I had very little to do with dinner this year, but I was out voted and we had Turkey. The boys brined it for 36 hours, cooked it upside down, flipped it, rested it and it was still dry.
It’s turkey. It’s crap. It can get in the sea. Even then it wouldn’t be moist.
As can sprouts . Unless you lather them in bacon fat they’re just ****.Last edited by Jones28; 27-12-2021 at 03:51 PM.

I had to throw something together last minute this year and just opted for a big chicken, paid a bit more for a corn fed, free range, gets a massage and a can of lager every hight one from the butchers and it was infinitely better than any turkey I've ever had.
The biggest issue with turkeys is they are selectively bred to have a ludicrous amount of white meat on them now. Much like supermarket chickens that inevitably leads to a reduction in tenderness and flavour.

I genuinely think turkey is my favourite meat. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that concurs admittedly 😁

Sprouts, almost cooked, mashed into crispy lardons or crispy bacon and chestnuts...... refried and finished with cream ...... the dog’s bollocks.

Cook down some cranberries and let them cool then mix into some melted butter. Ease up the turkey skin and smear the mixture all over the top of the breast. Lovely succulent tender turkey.
Anyone who doesn't have half a rasher of streaky bacon on each chipolata is a heathen.

Brother in law has started the Turkey brining process for the year.
I look forward to it still being dry despite days of faff.

Just read back through this thread as it’s an old favourite of mine.
The “eating the sticky toffee puddings as they are to save cooking them” has to be an all-time Hibs.net highlight.

I'm on pudding and veg duties this year. We are having 2 dinners, buffet style affair at my sister's today as she is working tomorrow then a full dinner tomorrow at my parents.
Raspberry pavlova and a Bailey's cheesecake made this morning. Thankfully my sister is going down the chicken route rather than turkey. Turkey, as per my previous posts on this thread, is ***** and if it wasn't for tradition no one would eat it.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

I’m making a trifle this year.
How many different ways can you get booze in?
Sherry in the bottom with the ladyfingers, baileys in the custard, amaretto in the cream?
I’ve done the jelly already and would probably draw a line at putting vodka in it."...when Hibs won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”
