zwelgen 0 Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Christmas a week away and due to one friend following his heart (dick) and another pulling the short straw and having to work Ive got a spare (8-10 pound 29x20x15cm approx) turkey. Odd I know. We got it from the foreign buyers club for 3360 and its yours for that. If you live anywhere in the northern Nagano region we could arrange a drop off. Im going to be at Nozawa and Hakuba this weekend so either of those and the bird is yours! let me know zwelgen@hotmail.com gobble gobble gobble Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 good god, you managed to find a animal in Japan that has not been sliced into little bits thus rendering useless for roasting!! I must suss out this FBC. I am half tempted to pick the bird up myself and tuck it under my arm as I pass thru nagers tomorrow. I still need to travel half of Tokyo to find one measly whole un-cooked chicken. Imagine a roast leg of pork, with crackling and apple sauce... ...oh my god. help......

zwelgen 0 Posted December 19, 2002 Author Share Posted December 19, 2002 yeah I was keen on the roast lamb but the others in my posse wanted turkey all the way. Anyway, the bird has found a loving home to consume it in a few days. fyi foreign buyers club is costy but for stuff like christmas etc theyve got the goods www.fbcusa.com Link to post Share on other sites
nekobi 0 Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 roast lamb? no way. a proper christmas dinner is identical to Thanksgiving- turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie. the only thing missing is collards- but i think i've found some nozawa greens prepared in a similar way.
