I like to cook
This year for Christmas dinner I am doing a carvery with Turkey, Beef, Pork, Lamb and Venison.

There will be just 8 off us and one will be my 22 month old daughter.

How will you be going OTT this Christmas? Also Rob Steadman is a cunt.

I'm cooking a turkey for 12 on sunday,
I don't know if I should put it in brine or not.

I hate turkey
I'm chucking a nut roast in. Not for Veggies they can fuck off and aren't invited, but for me because I like it as a side dish. I should do some starters too!

I like nut roast as a side dish
my aunt makes this good thing with nuts, cheese and marmite in it. some kind of loaf thing.

I'd be interested in a recipe for that if you get a chance.

very rare that I see my aunt unfortunately
I'm sure she got it from somewhere though, so might be able to find something online. or failing that, I'll reverse engineer it from my memories of the taste.

might actually be in the marmite cookbook

Good call.

I've never heard of putting one in brine
why would you do that?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 10 Dec 2009, 10:53, Reply)

It's meant to be good,
stops it drying out and stuff. Nigella thinks it's good. It's not just salt water though it's got herbs and fruit and stuff in as well.

Sounds good actually
And if Nigella thinks its good it must be!
( Peej, Thu 10 Dec 2009, 10:59, Reply)

Takes 2 days though.
I'll give it a bash, what's the worst that can happen?

nothing can go wrong
let us know how it turns out.

that does sound good
if it's for that many people it's got to be a pretty big turkey, so might be worth a try
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 10 Dec 2009, 11:02, Reply)

That's the problem,
it's going to be a massive turkey and so I'm going to have to find a massive bucket.

bath tub?
get a hippo tub from b&q or the range (if they have them there) or something. that'll probably be best
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 10 Dec 2009, 11:16, Reply)

I think my idea is better.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 10 Dec 2009, 11:17, Reply)

I'm thinking double bagged bin liners.

(PsychoChomp, Thu 10 Dec 2009, 11:23, Reply)

it'd work
but might be a bit risky

might impart a bit of a flavour to it as well, which you wouldn't want

You can buy mega-massive ziploc bags for just this purpose I believe
Not seen 'em in shops, but you should be able to get them online in time for chrimbo.

Where's TGB when you need her?

We'll be only 5 this year
So we won't have to cook too much. Something typical, like salmon and a lot of seafood.

Shes a little flirt
She'd only be interested in him for 30 seconds and then move on.

Mind you 30 seconds might be enough for him.

Don't worry about that
It's your missus I'm more interested in!
