(, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 13:42, Reply)
yeah, into the cavity of the chicken
although there is a school of thought that in doing so it doesn't get hot enough to kill the bacteria in it, unless you cremate the chicken, so some people cook it outside on a try or in balls or something.

You generally get a crusty outer bit, and the rest is fairly dense and moist, having soaked up juices from the meat, thus becoming more delicious.

In my experience it is excavated with a spoon.

You can make it with sausagemeat type stuff as well, which works better if you slice it out of the chicken/turkey.

Having stuffing in there doesn't interfere with the normal carving of the meat.
(, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 13:45, Reply)
inserting the stuffing between the breast and the skin isn't a bad way to do it - helps keep the breast moist too.

I agree with this
celery is a much maligned vegetable. It has superb flavour imparting qualities.

Well possibly
but as I don't especially like the flavour of celery I'd rather it fucked off instead of imparting it's flavour to other things which I do like.

Particulary roast onion with roast lamb.

Like raising
a shoulder off the bottom of your pan with a cacophony of chopped onions and carrots and thyme.

The sweet lamb fat cooks those veg to perfection. *drools*

There's a lot of fat and bone but that's where the flavour is.

When done wrong it can be
abhorently fatty tasting though.

Another favourite method is deboning it, spreading the inside with an olive paste made with garlic, paprika and smoked chili, then rolled and cooked slow on a half filled charcoal bbq.

Shred with forks, insert into pitta, add condiments, die, go to heaven.

I can also recommended putting some carrots in foil with cardamom pods, a few garlic cloves and some grated root ginger, wrapping it into a parcel and cooking in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

really delicious delicately fragrant carrots.

Maybe I've just not had a sufficiently bad roast potato, but I must disagree
If nothing else because I like the mental image of someone going,

Nah, you wouldn't eat them cold
Save them til the next day, and fry them up with the veg & meat that's left, serve hot with brown sauce, or cold with Branston Pickle.

my baking skills have got worse as my other cooking skills have improved

I love cooking and I love eating more, hence inventiveness and adventurousness. I find can also imagine how things will taste together in my head, which helps.

I can only presume the roast does not carry the same significance to vegetarian families - especially considering you couldn't make a convincing gravy with vegetable stock.
