So, what else was involved on our Christmas day meal?

We par-boiled the Marfona potatoes (from a sack from www.greysfarm.co.uk given to us by a dear friend from Cornwall), and then sliced them almost through crossways before roasting them in our goose fat.The carrot and swede from Carol at www.culmvalleyveg.co.uk, was blended with lots of butter and a generous twist of black pepper! And Carol's sprouts were as good as they get!The Turkey emerged from the oven and we left it to rest in the kitchen. We added the juices from the turkey itself to the stock which had bubbled away on the chimney!

We popped the "pigs in blankets" into the wood oven and they sizzled and crisped within a few minutes!At this moment it felt slightly poignant, as it always does! Â The thought of the hundreds of homes where Pipers Farm turkeys were being served, and as always we felt a strong sense of responsibility, hoping everyone was enjoying their special festive meals as we were!Especially this year we were conscious that we had launched a totally new concept with our "Simplest Christmas Turkey".Deep down, though, we feel confident that we have done everything possible to give our customers memorable meals .. . . . and right now the sense of expectation in our kitchen was an exciting reminder of why we feel so passionate about our work!The meal was really sensational, and even after all the build up . . . we loved it!No doubt the quality of the singing once weâ€™d opened our "musical crackers" was a lot less impressive than the meal we had just enjoyed!
