Same hear madz..we have 12 for dinner every year and 4pm is our sit down time. We also have 5 vegetarians in the company, so really cooking two main dishes, well actually three as we have both Turkey and homemade steak pie for the meat eaters.

Well, I chickened out, so to speak, and did the roasties myself, not in goose fat though as our daughters are vegetarians. Yes, as usual they were lovely. I did try out the aunt bessies a few days before and they were very nice - i would use them again for a Sunday roast.

My great triumph though was the turkey. This year I bought a whole turkey as I wasnt willing to pay the price of a crown (extortionate this year). And I cooked it in a roasting bag for the first time. It was the best turkey I have ever cooked - moist and juicy with a lovely golden skin. No need to cover in bacon or anything. Only thing I did was covered my hands in butter and rubbed it over the turkey, a sprinkling of paprika and voila! Will definately do the same again and wont bother with a costly crown.
