There’s nothing quite like settling down on a Christmas Day afternoon for the annual read of the “rotten turkeys” news story. A beautiful tradition.
Call me crazy but birds seem to be getting increasingly unreliable like this, almost how I used to view seafood. Beef these days is your best bet I think.
Use a local butcher.
Don’t buy reduced in price stock.
That’s what you get for eating turkey. One of the worst meats possible.
It’s sad that the measure of a good Christmas is the quality of a murdered animal. Peace and good will everybody!
The turkeys were probably less rancid and rotten than the unpalatable Daily Heil they were reported in.
We have Christmas camel tonight. Actually looking forward to not eating turkey this year.
You would think with this very story every year without fail peeps would stop buying supermarket turkey
* maybe question why you are blindly addicted to a ww2 rationing solution.
* further question where you think 30 million turkeys are coming from and how they get to you.
* ponder a moment pinky, how a business avoids the costs of 1 massive demand spike they dont want to support year round.
* and maybe think about ordering something else for that 70 quid instead.

merry roast goose and slow cooked venison …mas
Imagine having Christmas day – a day for family and friends – ruined by a turkey
Probably find they were returned by the stores to the abbatoirs and relabelled with a further date. The guys doing the QA in them don’t give a fuck from what I hear.
It’s expected and supermarkets have a “Goodwill Fund” to reimburse shoppers who are let down. There’s always a chance of an off turkey unfortunately.
Same people who complain their milk is always sour – fridge probably running at >10 degrees C.
I’ve noticed this with tons of meat in the past six months. I no longer buy the reduced to clear meat because I’ve been burned too many times by chicken that reeks of decay two days before the best before date. I just put everything directly into the freezer now instead and am looking into buying more from a local butcher.
As long as you have the space to store it, seems best to buy a frozen one before the spike in prices
Just fuck turkey off all together, it’s fucking wank.
I had chicken nuggies and chips with beef gravy for xmas dinner
Imagine being the daily mail writer who has to write this miserable article on Christmas Day
Go Vegan if you can, you’re probably gonna have to do it at some point in the future anyway.
I don’t know why people insist on eating turkey? It’s some American import and honestly it tastes like dog shit!
You’ve got to be mad to buy cheap meat. It’s actually quite possible to have a decent roast without any meat (I’ve always preferred roast potatoes over meats).
*We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas,* and check your fucking food when you buy it. It won’t damage the meat to examine in when you buy it, and don’t piss and moan when you leave everything till the last second and it goes wrong… *and a happy new year!*
We bought an off Turkey around ten years ago, even the garden fox wouldn’t touch it.
Use by 26th December plus improper refrigeration sounds like the culprit.
Flesh eating people surprised when flesh decays like it has done for millions of years.
You don’t have this problem with vegetables. 🙂
As opposed to perfectly good turkey: bland and dry.
