Mmmmmmmmmmm - Xmas goodies

I'm an unrepentant omnivore and I do like to put a face to the meat I eat. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you, albeit fleetingly as they are soon to be despatched, the provider of our Xmas lunch and the centrepiece of our Boxing Day table. Many thanks to Patrieda Produce, Linkinhorne, for getting them this far. They'll be in safe hands - and an even safer oven.

Our goose is the one in front, looking rather dishevelled due to the bad weather. But she will be 'dressed' appropriately on Xmas Day. We'll call her 'Birdy Lunch'.  

We'll be having a piece of the lady to the left in the form of a potentially delicious maple syrup and cinnamon glazed gammon joint. We'll call her 'Piggy Lunch'.
