People actually LIKE turkey? I thought it was just something people agreed to tolerate for the sake of family!
Seriously, Thanksgiving is the day of the year when I'm happiest about my conversion to vegetarianism.
That way I get all the good stuff -- mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, dinner rolls, pumpkin pie, etc. -- without having to spend like five minutes at a time chewing on individual bits of turkey before I'm finally able to swallow it (and that was often
with gravy topping). I think turkey was my least favorite meat product. Do not see the appeal. I see the appeal of like chicken, beef, various fishes, and the occasional ham for example and sometimes miss that stuff to this day, but not turkey. Waaaaay too dry, tasteless, and chewy. And I haven't even mentioned all the preparation yet! All that work just to prepare the
worst Thanksgiving dish! Why? Why do we do this to ourselves? The pilgrims won't notice if we change! I mean people watch football today instead of having indigenous people over...but turkey we must keep? Whyyyyyyy???
