Duck Turkey

Yeah i said it.

For this festive season, consider roasting a different bird instead. Duck beats turkey in every metric that matters:

1: Duck is tastier cos it has more fat

2: That duck fat goes a long way… especially if you want to jazz up your potatoes

3: Duck cooks quicker

4: Duck is less likely to dry out

The list is non-exhaustive. I’ve been roasting duck at Christmas for years and don’t think i could go back to turkey. Paired with some jollof rice, fried plantains, fondant potatoes, and roasted veg.

You’re welcome.

YUM!

We usually have duck. I don't think I've had turkey on Christmas day since I moved out my parents house.

I thought this was about those 3 bird roasts just minus the chicken.

Hopefully a defrosted bird strike. No-one needs a frozen bird in the face. Or, this just occurred.. Are birds on strike as well? I'm so confused.

My H&S assessment says: I'm going for beef, never fails, x

If the plain turkey is too basic this year try a cthurkey. A turkey stuffed with an octopus with optional crab legs on the sides.

It looks like the monster from The Thing.

All about the fresh goose from.the farm shop. Self-basting with all that perfect fat. Put in some quartered apples to cut through the richness and skim the fat half-hourly to use for the roasties.

Hmm duck is my least favourite meat so I’ll pass

We only have Turkey at Christmas which is daft really. We’ve had goose a couple of times which is pretty good.

Duck just doesn’t go with all the usual Christmas dinner trimmings (thumbs down)

Crispy aromatic, with Hoi Sin, cucumber and spring onions in those little pancakes.

Yummy.

Brilliant. I don't go that far, I just send a text for when they do what they do.. "have a nice day" - less travel..

It isn’t turkey was not consumed in the UK until the 16th century, and it wasn’t until the Victorian era that eating it at Christmas became fairly widespread.
