Obviously there’s Porchetta in its various guises. I’m doing a traditional and jerk version this year.
Aged beef rib or sirloin could be nice (reverse sear is v en vogue)
Some game birds or venison as mentioned.
Slow roasted Mutton or lamb shoulder - which would do some banging leftovers.
@naththebucther on IG just opened a butchers in Spitalfields and has a great selection (he’s 2 more shops).I’d always go for quality of meat over size as the flavour will be so much better.

I became aware of the existence of porchetta di testa which is probably a porchetta too far for me

Girlfriend is making noises about us ditching the turkey for a less traditional bit of meat for Christmas Dinner, which as I hate roast dinners wholeheartedly support, thing is my mind is drawing a blank for what I should do instead.
Anyone got any amazeballs suggestions for something I can whip up suitable for 4-6 people (there's just two of us, but leftovers ARE christmas).
budget up to about £40 for a decent joint of something or other. ideally not requiring any stupidly specific cooking equipment that we might not have.
