Wolfie, you need to have someone cook turkey like it was designed to be. Turkey isn't dry when the right hands are at the controls. A lot of people think they don't like vension too (I'm bambi hutning myself opening day next Monday). Venison prepared right can and does taste just like any other beef. You do NOT know what you're missing.

If you like chicken, then you'd like turkey cooked right. I've seen some people mess up cooking chicken before, pretty funny too.

@Anyone

Is anyone out there from Louisiana who can bear witness for me? Well, I guess the idea of deep fat fried turkey has spread throughout the southeastern US but I had it once, in Louisiana and it was, much to my suprise deeeeeeelicious! Roast turkey is good too. The kicker is that many people fry up the bird whole!


@Taw

In NYC, there are Thanksgiving suppers and then there are Italian-American Thanksgiving suppers.

Of course they have a beautifully roasted bird (only hens, thank you) along with the stuffing, the mashed potatos, candied yams string beans or broccoli. But usually ALSO served roasted fresh ham, a baked whole fish, usually a snapper, baked lasagna, sautee'd spinache with white beans or or escarole aglia olio or both, spaghettini or some other thin linguini a la marinara.

The table groans under the weight. People pretty much eat in sessions for the better part of the afternoon and evening.

And then, of course, the desserts come out.... in addition to pies, pumpkin pie of course is included, all the wonderful Italian pastries. Then the "black" coffee (espresso) with a bottle of Anisette for the table to be used in place of sugar for the coffee. And, finally, for those men still standing, some grappa.

I have had the great fortune of sitting through two of these eating orgies with great friends of mine in Brooklyn and all I can say is no one knows how to eat as well as these folks!

@wolf - Stinger is sooooo right
@Stinger - u r sooooo right

As for me, forget Turky! I need HAM !!! Honey roasted/baked, spiral cut, bone in etc... I can't wait!

Than you have the stuff that makes the ham (or turky, if ur into that ) look good... green beans, sweet potatoes with marshmellows and pecans, a few kilos of rolls with butter... oh yeah...

Indy, I don't recall u being @ my house last yr? maybe u were watching throught the window or something?

@Bob,

I also love my ham over my turkey. It's so my better, and less bones! Thats what my mom usualy cooks for supper.

But for christmas, we have a turkey. Mainly because UPS gives me one for Christmas.

we have beef or turkey with our xmas dinner at my house , sometimes both, gravy, stuffing, mashed sweed, parsnips. yorkshire puddings. brussel sprouts and carrots.

It is better to aim for the stars and hit the tops of the trees than to aim for nothing and hit it dead on.

Ah. The wonders of the latest spate of heartburn medicines that have come off patent and now are available off the shelf.

Yes indeedy, gorged last night... and had a little too much whiskey. My Dad dusted off a bottle of Jameson 15 year old that he'd forgotten he had for something like 10 years. It was very very very smoothe. Luckily, the foil around the cork still was in tightly sealed condition so it had not lost any potency and the cork almost made it out inctact. We quickly decanted the between the Dad, my brother-in-law and me, we polished off the liter in the course of the day.

Oh. And the food was excellent too!

@Taw: You eat that well all the time? Lucky man... or is there a little bit of England in Brooklyn? Altho.... from some of your earlier posts, I thought that your kids only leave you with the table scraps....
