We avoid turkey or goose, usually preferring to get a good deal on something like lamb, goat or ostrich. We have a gammon joint at Christmas as well, for Boxing Day

Quite a 'spread'! we did much the same at my daughter's abode this season for her 11 wine industry friends and relatives. We loaned out our dining chairs etc and my wife got a marvelous Cosco beef Wellington which then got wrapped in prosciutto and breaded. Additionally my wife, a superb chef who loves to cook, made the dessert: a magnificent cheesecake topped with our own raspberries...the wine & Scotch (Napa??!!) flowed like the Nile! Having done much the same at Thanksgiving, it falls to me to clean the kitchen afterwards.....
