My Mum got a magnificent turkey dish from Uncle Kenneth and Auntie Giulia - vast enough for the entire bird; dents and furrows to carry and hold the juices as you carve; beautiful green and gold and yellow and blue china and as large as a small city.
I've inherited it and I love it. It comes complete with memories of 64 Christmases and happy family gatherings round a large table creaking with seasonal grub.
To christen it tonight; a large fat delicious (I hope) roast duck garnished with loads of crisp roast potatoes and lovely green brussels sprouts, gravy and bread sauce.
