The great question is, what about the Christmas turkey in a time of avian flu? Hadn’t thought about that, had you?
For those who aren’t on the case, there has been a particularly severe outbreak of high pathogen avian influenza (HPAI) in Britain, some of it carried by wild birds, and the upshot is, that from November 6 all poultry in England have had to be brought indoors. So the free range birds on offer in the shops, and still more the eggs, are less free range than they used to be.
