Three bird roast.....any good deals?

renowen

Just been told we might be cooking xmas dinner at home after all

Are Aldi still have them, and anyone know what the 3 birds are (just out of interest)

duck, turkey & stuffing wrapped in Chicken.
They really do look lush. They had a freezer full on thursday pm at my local store. Well worth a trip down there I reckon.

I was expecting this to be about something completely different...

Has anyone tried the Aldi Three Bird Roast? I see this thread is from last Christmas - those who had it last year what was it like?

And Quote, I'm with you there! When my mum told me to research a 'three bird roast' on the internet I was horrified! :rotfl:

Phil Vickery was on tv, he did a glaze for the 3 bird roast & it was in the aldi leaflet, but I cant find it. Think it was honey garlic & possibly red wine vinegar & marmalade>? Ring any bells?:xmastree:

M&S do it (they do a three & a four bird roast).

We are still toying with the idea.

Not sure whether to get a boned breast or a Ballontine.

I Had mine last year from Fordhall Farm it was excellent, Iv ordered one again, it is a free range Goose, chicken and a pheasant from the local Shropshire game butcher, with apple and apricot stuffing and sausage meat mmmm.
I definatly recommend them, and reasonably priced compared to the supermarkets

ps i definatly wouldn't recommend the cheap ones from Aldi (who knows how the animals were reared or where in the world they were sourced)

Our local Aldi hasn't been able to get hold of their 2.5kg turkey crowns with a cranberry & apricot stuffing £12.99 for well over a week, manager says there's none in warehouse so we considered a 3 bird roast. Went back for one & they'd all gone too.

Ended up buying a 2kg Iceland turkey crown with a turkey, sage & onion stuffing £12 (Why just a sage & onion (yes, I know, likely more people would want that than something fancier but IT'S CHRISTMAS !!)

Iceland has some great offers & ours certainly had lots of turkey joints in various sizes.

We bought this one.

I got 2 of the Aldi 3 bird roasts yesterday for me and my sister. I didn't realise there was a choice of the stuffing and I went for the regular Sage and Onion. They had loads though still in the freezer.
