We don't bother with Christmas turkey either.

With just the two of us, it would be rather excessive. ;D

Don't you eat one of your Chickens?   :)

Technos Chicken No1 to Chicken No2=  "See we have a new intake of rescued from the battery farm"

Techno's chicken No2- "Rescued you say?  I heard the humans talking yesterday. They said that that black one over there was nice and plump and would do for Christmas"  :D

I'd never eat any of our chickens......They're so old when they pop their clogs. :-&
I've seen the 'extras' that they'll eat, as well. X_X

When they die, they get fed to the raptors and mammalian wildlife.

(And we HAVE just taken on another batch of 'rescue' chickens...I'm sick of scrambled/poached eggs already. :P)

Cheers - Phil. :)

That's the first "question" people always ask when they find out we keep chickens, and no, you really don't eat layers at the best of times and definitely not when they've popped their clogs due to natural causes or age!

We could do with refilling the coop, now. Except we're one chook-space short still, and it'd likely be a massacre introducing just two...

As a veggie, I don't eat chickens at any time of the year. Christmas dinner is likely to be Nut Roast en Croute (a sort of veggie Beef Wellingtion)or a Creamed Mushroom Lattice Pie either of which will be served with a brussel sprout, chesnut and shallot mix among other sides.

Of course, if the family are unable to attend the annual bun fight the above will be replaced with assorted party food, because who can be bothered cooking anything fancy just for one.

Cant you suplement the Labs diet with an egg or two  now and then and save a bit on dog food?

Unless I want to die from the lack of oxygen, from hydrogen sulphide 'windy pops'.

We'll likely go fully veggie this year, we don't eat a lot of meat and tbh we've enough vegetarians and otherwise picky eaters that it's easie rjust to go "nope" and done on dish they can all have. Moaning that it's turkey and not traditional can stuff it, as it's such a waste otherwise.

Phil, I feel your lack of oxygen; feeding the Grund left overs is an exercise in sinus related horror :D

I hope Lee never sneaks a look at this page and sees the veggie stuff; she'll ban wargames if she suspects they undermine carnivorousness!

Your South African, and I thought they regarded Chicken as a vegetable!

Fabric ones usually last well, but the plastic "bags for life" are somewhere between bulletproof and fall apart if you sneeze wrongly depending on which chain does them, I find!


Late entry with this one.  I find the Waitrose ones to be quite tough.  I used to keep my rugby boots in one, but did get funny looks from the cashier when I handed over the old mud-caked bag for a clean one every couple of months.
