Frohe heiliger Abend!

Happy holy night, from Munich.

I wish all the DU family a wonderful Holiday season adn a prosperous and heathy new year.

Doing the Weinnachten cooking. In germany the big meal is on the 24th, So we ar having some people over. No goose this year and we aren't doing the sausage alternative. I know, what do you expect from imigrants?

I have a small 4.4 kilo french turkey. It has instructions in 4 languages, German, Greek, English and something I can;t identify, not Polish or Turkish. Tomorrow we will have a couple of refugees over for lunch. A nice Chechnia and Kurdish couple. Haven't seen her since just after Covid.

Very low key this year.

1. And a happy Christmas eve to you!

Just me and the wife. Tonight, we're cooking for tomorrow so all we'll have to do is glaze the ham, heat the rolls, put the hot sides in the oven and then feast!
I forgot to mention the family of 9 dogs that will be looking longingly at us throughout the entire meal, lol. They'll get a bite or two of ham.

Merry Christmas!!

2. I adore "low key"!

Enjoy and do let us know about the turkey. I’ve always heard they’re tastier than our American turkeys 🦃

3. What is a french turkey?

I mean how is it different? Or is it just sourced from France?

4. Mostly just source from France

I get duck from Bayern, fresh, France or Poland, frozen. usually goose from Poland. I do prefer the Bayern duck but it tend to be seasonal or I have to order it special and that gets pricey.

The second Thanksgiving here I went to the meat market so I could order a turkey, about 8 kilo came in a 10Euro per kilo...
I have had all sorts of turkeys before and I really can't tell the difference once coooked.
