New Posts For Thread: cooking helphttps://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23425514/cooking-helpHi ppl,I'm cooking for 25 people. I have a turkey, a duck and a goose and no ideas for starters/desserts. I was thinking something simple for starters/dessert and then 3 different types of roasts...any ideas?Ham and a massive Turkey is the best bet imo. A14lb turkey with a decent sized ham would be ample imo.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/23425514/cooking-help?post_id=417906654#417906654Ham and a massive Turkey is the best bet imo.
