I would also give rib of beef the thumbs up - a while ago I cooked a rib of beef (not for xmas) and before I roasted it I marinated it in red wine for 24 hours in the fridge. It was a large joint so I put it in a pot, poured in the wine to about half way and occasionally doused the top half, then halfway I turned it over. It was absolutley fantastic

Without a doubt rib of beef is delicious and cooked properly it will melt in your mouth, mmm I could just go a cold beef sandwich with mustard mayo right now

Rib is great but it is also important to get the right breed ( I like Aberdeen Angus or Hereford) but more so that it has been properly matured. Make sure it's been well hung for at least 3 weeks, preferably more. (I prefer a good topside, cooked with care, to a mediocre rib.)

I'm not a fan of turkey either so we're having Capon - big juicy male chicken!

We dont have turkey either, ever since I was a kid we have had silverside beef, it is cooked and just breaks apart in your mouth... lovely...

Can I just say its nice to see people with a sensible view here I always go for rib of beef because the bones and the fat add flavour to it, IMO far nicer than a rolled joint.

But the amount of people who have looked at me as if I am odd becuase I have turned down a rolled joint in favour of something with a bone in it is unbelievable!! So rib of beef gets my vote - then you can use the meat juices to make yorkshires too :T

I've just come back from my butchers with a lovely looking rib of beef my butcher told me it was MacDuff Aberdeen Angus, apparentely the queen eats it too:eek::rotfl: He recommended 2 ribs for 4 people and it cost 25 quid so it better be good or I'll be coming back to you lot for a refund Merry Xmas everyone :beer:
