How about Coronation Turkey (as opposed to chicken) and Bang Bang Turkey, make lovely dishes for boxing day. There are so many things you can do with it and you can freeze the dishes to eat weeks later if you want to spread it out.

I can never eat too much. There is so much you can do with turkey after Christmas Day and it is probably much healthier than beef or other red meat. I make Turkey Divan and then Turkey Curry (as in Bridget Jones Turkey Curry Buffet). Maybe turkey raised in North America has a different flavour.

It's the sort of thing that would only appeal to cretins fond of flaunting their wealth - Michael Winner, Simon Cowell and Victoria Beckham spring to mind. Turkey is the most boring meat imaginable, anyway, and I can never understand why so many people have it at Christmas. I blame our American friends for introducing it with their Thanksgiving tradition! Give me duck or a nice juicy steak any time. I almost choked on my breakfast toast when I read the bit about gold leaf being perfectly safe to eat because it passes straight through the system, and the subsequent comment by someone that it could be collected and re-cycled next year! Er, run that by me again, would you.....? -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
