I don't eat a lot of meat or fish, but eating the odd bit has made life easier. Many meat/ fish dishes require a lot less thought and preparation- and as Maggie pointed out, without careful planning it's easy to fall low in iron and certain vitamins on a vegi diet. (Maggie, a wonderful photo! I bet you're kept busy at Christmas :) |

Turkeys deserve to be higher up in the pecking order. |

Hehe! Supercrutch, I'm not surprised- I've known a bacon sandwich to melt a few hardened vegetarians- the smell is Mmmmmm! I used to grill or fry slices of halloumi as my naughty 'bacon' fix, but I don't think anything can beat a real bacon butty! |

For the last few years one of us has cooked a piece of beef and another has cooked a gammon. When we roll home in the early hours of Boxing Day we all have enough cold beef and ham to last for a day or two. Much easier to carve too. |

I think Dave and Denise in the Royle Family did a show about doing the turkey properly. |

JoyLouise- exactly my plan! I am going to cook and serve with confidence and a whole lot of wine- |

We like a chilled Vouvray although some might think it slightly too sweet. It's about £7 per bottle upwards. |

My view is, after the first 3 glasses - it really doesn't matter :-S |

It all went OKish. Despite all my efforts the turkey was still a little dry, but I swamped with gravy and piled on the pigs in blankets. Everyone ate (and drank!) well and we had fun. |

Oh my- I definitely wouldn't have eaten green turkey! |

If you try it again try cooking it breast side down for two thirds of the cooking time (cover all the turkey in tinfoil) then turn over for the rest of the time. Never dry |
