Totally Traditional Turkeys

RADIO 5 LIVE

Hi Sue,

Many thanks for the turkeys at Christmas. Sadly they arrived after Nicky and Shelagh went on holiday for the break, but we put them to good use!

Thanks again

Hi Sue!

I LOVED my turkey!! It was by far the best turkey I have ever eaten. Brett cooked the other turkey for a staff lunch and everyone really enjoyed it.

Thanks so much again for sending these to us.

On the Totally Traditional Turkeys front the bird certainly didn’t die in vain, as it was much appreciated by all ages of a large family. It was beautifully moist, easy to cook, tasty & gamey & the meat & carcass held together beautifully. The leftovers made for a great soup & a rich, satisfying ’Turkey au Vin’.

Yes, it arrived safely, we where impressed with the delivery service, freshness, quality & delivery presentation including the recommended cooking information & cooking aid gadget.

This was a proud and beautiful bird, immaculately dressed, and I can say, without hesitation, of the highest calibre of taste, texture and appearance. I could hardly get it into the Aga, stuffed weight I needed sherpas to help, and as for turning it, where was the mediaeval spit!

The flesh was juicy, flavoursome, well developed without being gamey, the bite neither chalky nor tough, it was just pure 22 carat gold (sorry Bronze) turkey. Congratulations to Rumburgh Farm at Halesworth in Suffolk who I would love to visit when I see my godmother in Bungay and thanks from me. I would recommend their turkeys without hesitation.

Yours,
Tamasin

Festive Whatevers. Thank you for the fine turkey which has just docked here despite the snow and aggravation. Have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Best regards Charles

The turkey was bronze, enormous and very elegantly presented. When cooked it held it’s moisture well and managed to combine the taste of a “black” with the size, and ample bosom, of a “white” Many thanks, a magnificent bird Charles Campion

SARAH HAMILTON-WALKER – Hello!

Hello Sue, hope you had a good Christmas. Just wanted to drop you a line to say a very, very big thank you for the turkey – without doubt, the most tastiest, succulent I’ve tasted in many a year. Fed 10 on Boxing Day with plenty left over for a curry, pie and sandwiches!

Many thanks again, and let me know if I can help out with anything in 2010 Have a happy New Year Best wishes Sarah

Dear Sue,

I just wanted to convey my thanks to the turkey producers and yourselves for that magnificent bird – absolutely delicious, and we enjoyed buckets of gorgeous stock and pies thereafter. I have kept the label with the address of the producer and will write to thank them also. What a treat it was.

A Happy New Year.
Best wishes, Annie
