Turkey!
« on: November 18, 2002, 08:44:58 PM »
I didn't think this would be so hard, but nothing like leaving things for the last minute!  We are having Thanksgiving dinner with our American friends this weekend and I can't seem to find a turkey!  The supermarkets I've checked have them to order for Christmas, but don't seem to have them now.  My friend in London is checking out a few leads she has, but I wanted to check here too, in case those don't pan out.  Where are you all getting your Thanksgiving turkeys?

Thanks,
Stephanie

All the supermarkets are stocked with frozen turkeys now - i've noted them all in the major ones that I've been in this week.  If you want fresh, your best bet is to hit your local butcher and talk to him. They're usually so helpful and accommodating - hey, they want your business!  Tell him the situation and i'll bet they'll come thru for you.  Good luck.

Yeah, I've seen turkeys in every grocery store.

AND I found a turkey baster in the Sainsbury's SavaCentre in Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre!!!  Yippee!

However, my mother is mailing the Stove Top Stuffing (cornbread AND cranberry) since my boys still haven't warmed up to the Paxo stuffing.   ;)

Stephanie,
My in-laws always get their Christmas turkey from Conisbee's Butchers in West Horsley.  If they can't help, they may be able to steer you in the right direction.   :)
Also the Cobham Sainsbury's is sometimes good for Thanksgiving ingredients and the Non-stop Party Shop in Cobham usually stocks napkins, etc.  But get there soon, because they do sell out.   :)
