Size matters

[Nondizzyblonde]

I have found that one of the perils of online grocery shopping is that you sometimes don't realise the true size of an item you are buying.
The Ocado delivery man and I spent quite a long time searching for the turkey breast tonight, as he had obviously been told to check that every customer had the all important turkey. We finally found it tucked away with some other groceries in one of the bags. Neither of us had expected a turkey breast to be able to be just tucked away.
Now at £25 I had assumed that this would be a sizeable piece of meat....
Here is a pic. The walnut is there for size comparison purposes :roll:

Dinner for 1?

I guess it will be a Turkey and Stuffing sandwich for dinner :?

I weighed it - it's 1.5 kg so with four adults, and one child who prefers fish fingers, plus all the trimmings we 'should' be ok. It had better be like angels dancing on my tongue though at TWENTY-FIVE bloody pounds.

So its a single stuffed turkey breast not a crown? that's a bit nouveau for a Christmas dinner for four??? On the other hand a medium fresh turkey is around £30. Hope you have a large Christmas pudding!

It's not that bad, you've got a free packet of streaky bacon on the top of it!
Have you done this Christmas lunch thing before or is it your first time?

I thought it was a crown not a breast.... misread. DOH. Usually get small crown from M&S and that's about the same price. That'll teach me to read the description properly in future. I have two Christmas puds ( coz I didn't know if people would like Heston's one ), so we can all fill up on that.
Most certainly not my first time !

Our 4.5 kg turkey is already in the oven, since we're celebrating tonight (the OH is working tomorrow). A few years ago we started buying local turkeys from our favourite butcher in Henley and keep going back. It's an obscene amount of turkey for four, but that should keep us going for the next few days.

Luckily I don't have to cook the bird or fixings, though. The OH handles the meal and I'm the pastry chef

No turkey sandwiches/broth/curry/omelettes for you my dear!
