My word, this thread is better entertainment than anything that's been on television this Christmas0

You weren't "emotionally prepared" to cook a full turkey rather than a turkey crown???
Oh my actual effing god!!!! People like this actually exist and have actually managed to get themselves into adulthood???
I thought I'd heard some wet blankets in my time, but I really have heard it all now!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

You lot really are unreal. So many answered on 25th = so why the criticism?
Maybe I am a troll??? Think on THAT!
Why not reply on the 25th, nothing to do at that point but browse the net....happy days.Don't trust a forum for advice. Get proper paid advice. Any advice given should always be checked0 -
WoW !! Has the BBC heard about you ??
Heston Blumenthal will be worried, where did you learn to cook like this ? Have you thought about writing a book ? There could be a series in this - "The Great British Roast Off" Or something .;)
Sorry, couldn't resist, do you think the OP will realise how ridiculous their post comes across ?
(I am going to remember to cook the bird and not that bag though!)
We had turkey soup today - made stock from the remains of the turkey and blitzed it along with the leftover roasties. Chucked in some bits of turkey too and accompanied it with some bread I baked from a packet.0 -
I hope you are emotionally prepared to cook another turkey.
We've laughed our heads off at this. I fear whenever we're cooking anything new now at Chez Duchy there will be concerns vocalized at the emotional preparedness of the chef to take such a massive step.......I Would Rather Climb A Mountain Than Crawl Into A Hole

Do you shop there every week? I find that most Waitrose stores have such a small staff and even smaller management that they get to know you and will basically greet you warmly and put themselves out for you. I had a minor issue with an item that didnt arrive and was given £50 in gift vouchers (no it didnt spoil my Christmas- that would have been silly) as they knew I spend £thousands there each year (as my JL credit and loyalty card show!)June challenge £100 a day £3161.63 plus £350 vouchers plus £108.37 food/shopping saving
July challenge £50 a day. £ 1682.50/1550
October challenge £100 a day. £385/£31000 -
I'm confused.
OP wanted the ordered turkey which was drumsticks and deboned, stuffed turkey. Then was offered a whole turkey.
Can't you just say no thanks, but I'll take a stuffed turkey crown and some drumsticks that are done in the oven and then that's the same work?
I think they're being very fair giving you a free turkey as an apology. I can see why you're annoyed at ordering something and it going missing, but I don't understand why it caused such a hassle?0 -

I was in 2012 when the same thing happened to me. Free Turkey = More money to spend on alcohol getting sh*tfaced.Iva started Dec 2018.0
