is there a shortage of turkeys this year? there have been none in saisburys for weeks or even turkey crowns! (frozen) should we be panicking???????

I've already ordered mine - organic bronze one from Kellys ...mind you if when I go into Asdas/whatever on Christmas Eve and there are any fresh ones still around I'll buy one and put it in the freezer!

Usual frozen ones will be around in abundance, I'm sure.

ours are strutting their stuff in the stable....no shortage here!!!

lol loving this, lol,

They'll be No Mum goes to icelands in your house this Christmas then, lol

There was a piece in the saturday's Daily Mail a few weeks back....

They are expecting shortages of 'fresh' ones as the supermarkets didn't place
huge orders - credit crunch thought people will be going for the cheaper options..

That said Didcot Sainsbury's did have frozens ones and the crowns too.

So if are you are hankering after a fresh one - might be worth placing an order with your local butcher

M&S always send us their food catalogue and this year some of the food looks absolutely delicious - and not just the puddings either We ended up doing our Xmas food shopping last thing on the 23rd December (ie after 11pm) a couple of years ago and ended up getting a turkey crown as there were no fresh turkeys left and we had no time to defrost one by then, haven't left it quite as late since then :-0

We always get ours from M&S every year.
Lovely food in their catalogue i agree with you....i do all my xmas food shop in M&S at xmas.Everything is so lovely.
