how to cook a 3 bird roast

To sterilise a coin, first clean it so it looks sparkling - a couple of hours in cola should do that, maybe a going over with an old toothbrush. Then boil it for 5-10 mins, or use something like Milton.

Most poultry needs 20 mins/ pound, but that is with the cavity empty. I would say do 25 or 30 mins per pound and check it. If the juices run clear when the deepest part is pierced, it is done.

i'm aware of that the roasting time will depend on the weight - it it a lark in a pigeon in a duck, or a chicken in a turkey in an ostrich :d

Only do this if it has no intrinsic value, and you haven't taken it out of your prized coin collection, coz otherwise you'll ruin it.

I hope it looks like this:

A silver threepenny bit! My grandmother had one she kept for putting in the Christmas pud when I was a small child - I hate Xmas pud, but always had a bit in hopes of getting the coin, which was then swapped for a florin, riches indeed for a child in the 50's!

BTW, the design on the reverse of the brass 3d was a thrift plant, first used in the 1930's, a time when everyone was encouraged to save. Very apt for this site!

Bit harder to hide, that!

As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the existing thread, where there are more cooking suggestions.

Can anyone tell me what they think of these, I wanted to try one for New Years day, feeding 5 of us.

Would be grateful for any comments.

From Ald!? I have had them twice and they are awesome! The quality was more like M&S than budget and they were really tasty.

Definately recommend one

Thank you, I might give one a try. It's hard to try something new when it costs a few bob if it turns out a total disaster.

Feel a bit easier about it now.

I wonder if I can create any space for one:)

I do have plenty of alternatives in the freezer(various types of fish)pork, chicken, lamb and turkey. And in the fridge a small ham and a pork, turkey and bacon lattace. Can you put a cooked ham in a freezer? It has no information on the ham either way.

All my vegetables and a variety of desserts, pies, puddings and cakes.

So apart from being on my own I will be ok I guess.
