Are we talking extortionate prices🤔
Fresh ‘free range’ poultry 20-30% upon last year. A combination of increased production costs and Avian Flu. Typically Free Range Turkeys, Large Chickens, Ducks, Geese are all reared outside. They gain weight in the last couple of months prior to slaughter whilst outside when the weather gets cold. However for some time now the birds have been housed indoors to protect them from wild birds carrying the virus. With Seagulls, pigeons being the biggest spreaders. There have been numerous mass culls of flocks because of this problem. The biggest threat is size availability. Traditionally or should I say in previous years anything and everything was readily available. Not this year. Get your orders in bloody early. Now would be a good time as suppliers are bringing forward their cut off order dates dignificantly. |

If it wasn’t for the Mrs I’d have a 5-6 week aged rib of beef on the bone. So it is a large Chicken instead of a plump FR Turkey. Tip for you all. Roast your Turkey upside down. In other words breast side down on a rack over a Bain Marie.. |

Turkey for christmas is so unimaginative. Although I suppose for some of you, below average is the best you can hope to achieve with all the effort in the world. is slow cooked smoked turkey still average? probably. but you're not counting turkeys greatest gift. Boxing Day Turkey curry |

It's one less mouth for them to feed, and not just on Christmas day  |

‘Would you like a cup of tea/coffee?’
‘Yes please’
‘Do you take sugar?’
‘No thanks, sweet enough’
Fuck off.

I had a friend visiting last week and made him a coffee - 'Milk with 2 sugars'. The wife and I don't have sugar in hot drinks and so I was hunting around for sugar. I found a tupperware container that I assumed was sugar and handed it to him to help himself.
Of course it was salt, wasn't it! Doh! Not the best first taste to have the morning after a night with a few pints of Guinness really!
I found some sugar in the end.

I can't be the only one who thought this was going down a cocaine route FWIW we have a similar problem if anyone takes sugar as we don't keep it in the house! |
