Title: Easter meals
Post by: New shoot on March 30, 2018, 15:57: Just being nosey really here, but I got asked so many times for turkeys/turkey crowns at work yesterday, I'm curious how many people eat it for Easter. I always associate lamb with this time of year and I have treated us to a leg of lamb to cook on Sunday.

So what are you having ?

So I’ve gone with chicken parmigiana with hm pasta & for afters an Apple rose tart, there might be some Tiffin/rocky rd with mini eggs atop if I get that far as an alternative pud/ take home instead of Easter eggs this year as granddaughter is bound to get loads of Easter eggs(not from us) so they’ll not want more.

they have apparently decided on turkey, not my favourite but as antibiotics act on my like an appetite suppressant I won't be eating much anyway so the lamb can wait until I've got my appetite back. We have had hot cross buns today and fish for dinner so have kept up that tradition.

Smells good in the oven :D
