Them Poles get everywhere.

This time I plumped for Goose but if I had been having Christmas dinner at the Uzumlu Winehouse I would have had their vegetarian option Roasted Chestnut, Sweep Potato and Wild Mushroom Wellington :)
-
Turkey is another American import. Traditionally Goose was always eaten at Christmas in the U.K.

Nichola, where pray tell does the winehouse "sweep" their potatoes too? Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to both you and Dogan. :) :)

Hi Loz,
Hard to get hold of now.. A capon is a castrated rooster, years ago when there where smaller farms, the roosters were castrated by the farmer, and fatten up. Castration made then non aggressive and easy to fatten but then with the onset of mass production of poultry,the practice was changed and estrogen pellets were inserted under the rooster's skin to cause chemical castration. I remember about 15 years ago there was an article in the press about this and it put a lot of people off eating Capon's because they had been treated with estrogen.

I see some people have gone for the Porterhouse Blue option. Risky stuff.

I know what a Capon is, and they are in abundance 'down sarf' and extremely tasty, because we have it when ever we want, Christmas is beef, but then by next week it could be something completely different, depending on on how we feel.

I am sure you do Loz, strange as it seems a lot of people up North have never heard of a Capon. Don't see them in my part of the world.

I prefer the steak.............."medium rare, waiter and leave the head and tail on!" Happy Christmas to all CBF members and families.
