kiffy Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 old school turkey and stuffing for me, i hate traditional roast dinners so christmas day is generally the only one i have through the year... i think my dislike of cooked dinners comes from my dads cooking skills (raf trained chef) everything on the plate tastes the same and you slice the gravy rather than pour it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimfire4969 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 This year I have a 4 rib roast from a Shorthorn bone in, I have had it before and can honestly say it is the best beef I have ever had, it's so juicy and the flavour is unbelievable. Makes me hungry just thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greener86 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Interesting food here but it still the bland Christmas dinner turkey turkey for Boxing Day got to say roast beef to me is the one meat I have not been able to get right I think are oven on its way out tried 3 , 4 times over the last year or so put it in for the required amount of time and it still comes out tough as leather and shrunk 😱I went to catering collage and worked the industry different in the old works kitchens ovens were better and got it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushpower Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 might be the quality of the beef and freshness you are buying thats the problem there greener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
