Is this the Country or the Bird?

Do you mean for Turkey or the family,?Seems a good price for the family, don't know enough about Turkey to make a comment.

I wouldn't even pay a tenner for one. All that mass slaughter of turkeys that had been reared especially for us at Christmas. Poor creatures. I am not a vegetarian, but I do object to the commercialism of farm animals, the chickens and so on that are mass produced - it has to be wrong. I will be making a large meat and vegetable pie for Christmas day, with roasted vegetables stuffing etc. The meat will come from a reputable butcher, not the en masse stuff that's piled high in the supermarket. And do you know what - my family are delighted!!!

The way I look at it is, some good can come out of the tragedy. More people will become vegetarians and thus in the long run more birds (and hopefully other animals) will not end up on the dinner table.
However, to answer the question, if people want their turkey, they will pay for it. As for me - obviously I'm already vegetarian.

What's that in US dollars? I paid around $10 for a 14 pound turkey. I purchased a Butterball because they have the pop up indicator and I've always had luck with them. Some turkeys are cheaper.

Hahaha good news for vegetarians like me. But seriously no I wouldn't pay £50 for a turkey just because it's the traditional meat. If I still ate meat I'd just have chicken instead but since I'm a veggy I'll be having soya mince:D seriously it's really nice and much healthier:)

Where the hell are you getting a turkey from and how big is it? They are about a tenner in Tesco for a 9kg bird.
If it gets too dear, simply cook something other than turkey. Goose, duck, lamb or beef are traditional English Christmas fayre. Turkeys are not native to the UK.

Usually pay quite a bit more than that as the conditions the barn reared turkeys are kept in are terrible.
Won't be getting one this year if there's no free range/organic ones.

I don't know how much that is. I'm in America and here we use$. I don't care how much Turkey is I have a job. It's still cheaper than Starbucks Coffee and people are still paying the price.

I think we've been paying something close to that for the last few turkeys we've had - organic free range birds don't come cheap!! We're having beef this year though - more traditional ;o)

I did pay this - actually, a little more. What choice do we have? We have to have dinner with the family right?
The butter I use is usually $2.32 a pound - yesterday I paid $3.69 for it - groceries have sky rocketed
**btw - they are talking about the whole Thanksgiving meal, not just the turkey
