Can't decide what to cook on Christmas day?

Treat yourself to a twelve bird roast ! It might cost a bit more than just a standard turkey, but you do get free delivery hamper roasting tin and meat thermometer.

I wonder if I can buy it though the company?

Looks good, but it must be damned tricky to stuff each of those birds inside the next.

It would be easier to start with a hummingbird, and work up to an emu.

Also, don't you need a walk-in oven to roast the thing? (which would take about 2 days by the look of it)

is it worth doing a 3 or 5 bird roast (12 seems a bit excessive)

I am getting bored of just turkey...

Aldi and Lidl do a four bird roast for a tenner.

(And IIRC they won some awards for them last year or the year before, so they aren't that bad)

Tenner??? I'm sure those birds had really good life on an intensive battery farm

It weighs 25 kg and feeds 125 people.

I get fed up of turkey leftovers by day 3, so what I'd be like after 30 days of the thing...

To be honest, I don't really care what kind of life the birds had. They are tasty.

+ 1 it is just food...

and is it not worse to rear a little chick chick to enjoy the good things in life just so you can kill it and eat it in it's prime???

I think it's worse to rear animals intensively subjecting them to horrible conditions, filling them with chemicals and drugs and cramped conditions. they may end up being slaughtered but that is no reason to treat them badly.

Similar for battery farming.
