1. Our turkey (we THINK it is a turkey) is 17 kilograms. about 37.5 pounds. It may be an ostrich.

It cost us a hefty €170, and they claim they only charged us for 14 kilos (what we ordered).

We figure it should be done if we get the combination of high temp (425°F9 and low temp (325°F) right in five to six hours. We don't want it char-broiled on the outside and raw on the inside. As it is, we either widen the walls of the oven with a sledgehammer, or else saw off the drumsticks and do them separately. Our stuffing arrived from the USA this morning (we do our big dinner on Friday, since it isn't a holiday here, and many of us still work for a living, including me). Pepperidge Faaahm remembahed!
