SOUNDBITE: (English) William Sitwell, Food Journalist, Evening Standard, Editor Waitrose Food Magazine: • Bird flu and other problems like that do affect the way people think about turkey. I think also problems like bird flu tend to show up pictures of turkey farms or suddenly see the fact that poultry farms are these kind of scary mass producing poultry situations and that frightens people, but turkey farms have always been like that and I think in terms of poultry, turkeys are produced in slightly less numbers, but of course you have to remember that there may have been bird flu, there may have been various food scares, but if turkey is on the shelf, the UK has very stringent health and safety regulations it's going to be fine, so that shouldn't put you off. • 16.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Haden Field, Owner, Kingsland Butchers: • (first sentence is overlaid with video) It is the type of bird you buy. We go for the bronze turkeys which are very succulent, we've also got full instructions with the bird to cook it correctly, that's the main thing. A lot of people overcook and then it dries out, but it also depends on the type of bird. Frozen birds are classic for that. • 19. Various meat at Kingsland butchers • 20. SOUNDBITE: (English) Haden Field, Owner, Kingsland Butchers: • Very traditionalist. We like to sit round the table with a nice big turkey on the table.

SOUNDBITE: (English) William Sitwell, Food Journalist, Evening Standard, Editor Waitrose Food Magazine: • Christmas is about feasting, is about family, so if you are going to do something that's not turkey, you still want to produce something, bring something to the table that's going to have a hint of something magical, something a bit special, something that says let's all feast. • 22.
