Re: Christmas Dinner.
Normally have Goose, or occasionally Duck, but this year I really fancied a good well hung Highland Scot (from the shaggy hairy cooos with big horns) ribs of beef.

Re: Christmas Dinner.
The only one I can find with that name is in Whetstone which is between Barnet and Finchley. That is miles away from me.

Re: Christmas Dinner.
Turkey, Stuffing, Roast spuds, Sprouts, Peas, Parsnips, etc. followed by Christmas pudding. I shall even light the pud up with Cognac. How boringly traditional is that?

Re: Christmas Dinner.
I find Turkey boring. I like the crunchy bits like the wings and the skin has flavour, but the white stuff on the breast, in my opinion it is like eating paper. A good chicken has more flavour.
Anyway Turkey only became popular in the late 19th century, the real British Christmas tradition was Goose.

+1, much prefer the traditional British Christmas fayre of Goose, where i originate we consumes lots of Duck and Geese.
Merry Christmas Doc and a Happy New Year, may you and yours always live in happy times in your new home.

Beef Wellington in our house for the conneseurs and a Turkey Crown for the plebs (courtesy Andrew Mitchell). Happy Christmas to all.
Re: Christmas Dinner.
Rolled brisket of beef (from our village farm) here - I always do the cooking in our house so get to choose. Oh...and a very nice bottle of Wine Society Exhibition Crozes-Hermitage too.
Turkey - as RD says - is NOT a traditional English Christmas meat and unless you're prepared to get something like a Norfolk Black it's fairly bland-tasting. Turkeys were introduced by the Americans (or certainly were for Christmas) and was used because the birds were a lot easier to look after than geese. Goose is good too as it's low in LDL cholesterol and high monounsaturated fats so it's a win-win.

Re: Christmas Dinner.
Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. (Local butcher wins prizes for his beef, so finally giving it a try.)The only problem is that I don't like beef, so this will be my first attempt at this for more than 20 years. Childhood memories are strong things!
