observer Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Seems the British traditional xmas dinner of turkey and sprouts etc; came the third most healthy in a poll of nutritionists ! Top was the Kenyan dish of goat and japaties ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Will stick with the turkey, goat can be a bit stringy after boxing day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 What was second? Don't fancy goat and if I had my way we wouldn't be having a boring turkey 'sunday dinner' on xmas day. I wanted a Chinese banquet take-a-way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Goat is fairly passable, but can't compare to turkey imo. Seems the Germans prefer goose, which got a thumbs down due to the high fat content, but I've not tried that yet. Personally, I prefer duck. Seems wild game has less fat, so should be a healthier option. The Ozzies scored well, preferring prawns with their turkey, no doubt enjoyed at a beach Barbie !

Evil Sid Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Wild goose is about the best you can eat as there is not a great deal of fat on it. Mainly due to the distance they have flown to get over here from wherever, Only problem with wild game is that you have to bag it yourself or have it given to you by somebody who has bagged it. You are not allowed to sell it apparently, if you shoot your own wild goose you cannot take anything in exchange for it. Only one slight problem with it is the shot that occasionally pops up to break the tooth of the unwary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'll stick with Turkey, I like Goose and Duck, but Duck is very fatty, hence you need an orange or lemon sauce. Only ever had goat in a curry and I thought it was quite nice, roast goat does not seem to have a nice ring to it though, it sounds chewy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Waste not, want not - try mashing the spuds & veg next day, sprinkle with mixed herbs and fry in garlic butter. Yummy bubble and squeak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
