KarenBravo Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 It may be in a few hotels and restaurants but its certainly not the main dish and would be served in a buffet Since its traditional to you, its important its on the menu AUSSIES AND KIWIS DO NOT EAT TURKEY TRADITIONALLY FOR XMAS Its you who is wrong, ask a few Aussies or Kiwis and you will find out No need to shout Peter. Actually, I have asked the Aussies and Kiwis onboard. Half of them go for the BBQ and the other half do have turkey, but, it's sliced and served cold. One Aussie has hot turkey with all the trimmings. So, it seems Turkey is eaten quite frequently in Aussie............even though it's not a native bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it seems Turkey is eaten quite frequently in Aussie............even though it's not a native bird I would love to have a public debate with you Mr Karenbravo I repeat turkey is not the traditional meal at Xmas time in Australia. I did not say turkey is not eaten in Australia Chicken is far more popular in Australia. How many Aussies/Kiwis do you know who grew up there and do not have a British accent Maybe that could explain why they like turkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggom Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Had lunch today at Moo Tex Mex in Rawai (sorry Sean not near Bang Tao), and she said she is doing a roast turkey Xmas dinner buffet with all the trimmings +soup, sweet and more. All you can eat for 590 Baht. Starts at 6pm on the 24th Dec. and midday on the 25th. Can call her on 0818945324 if you wish to book a table. Sounds like a good deal to me, hope she does well.

Peterocket Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Bang Tao to Rawai for xmas dinner...jeez Do you not drink at xmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PST Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I am glad to see someone offering some other choices for Xmas dinner. Seems like scuba & PST have an interest in the two places they always promote on this & other posts. Not saying they are not good places to eat but a pattern is emerging. I just had an email from Da Vincis for their Xmas dinner, not a turkey in sight, but still not impressed with their menu. No interest but Ricky is a friend of mine. I stand by my recommendation and if someone tries it and disagrees please feel free to post your experiences. Likewise,I am a friend of John at Solution,and use his bar/guesthouse when I'm in Kata,so just trying to do him a favour,don't see a problem really. PST.

madmitch Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 It would be good to get this thread properly back on track and have some more recommendations, preferably all over the island. There was a menu from Shanti Lodge on Chalong on the notice board at my daughter's school. They're doing a Christmas brunch (morning/lunchtime) with no turkey, followed by a traditional turkey dinner in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentine Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Xmas menu from the Watermark looks quite interesting although it does include roast turkey stuffed with macadamia. They have a very good chef who used to be at Les Anges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunta71 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 you're welcome to bbq native animals if you wish. Made my day......thanks. At the moment Macro is selling venison from somewhere and it is very tasty!! 1 kilo of tenderloins (basically two complete backstraps) is selling for just over 500Baht. For me deer meat is what rice is to Asians. I have stocked up on a few kilos so now I can tell the world of this amazing find. Probably make me famous somehow. Saving the world one deer at a time.

BlueEasySleep Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 and Americans usually eat ham for Christmas. We don't eat turkey again because leftovers from Thanksgiving usually last into December so we're well sick of it by Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi007 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 and Americans usually eat ham for Christmas. We don't eat turkey again because leftovers from Thanksgiving usually last into December so we're well sick of it by Christmas. I agree, We usually had a "standing rib roast," also known as a prime rib roast. If you could even buy one here it would be tough and an expensive piece of beef. Oh well, I didn't eat that much turkey for Thanksgiving, I may have to suffer and eat some more for Christmas. I hope everyone enjoys their holiday meal where ever you choose to enjoy it! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! Cheers, Jimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not recommend anyone go there for Christmas. Ricky has canceled Christmas dinner due to staffing. I'm surprised you say you didn't like it. Everyone I spoke to was raving about it. I thought it was one of the best Thanksgiving meals I have had. What was your problem with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantal Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Have to agree with SB. We had a group of about 12 people and everyone raved about the Thanksgiving dinner. Pity that Rick has had to cancel the Christmas lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
