OT: Thanksgiving Pledge

[August_West]

OK...

This may be difficult to swallow for some, but Im forgoing my annual bashing of Turkey here. Weve been talking about it every November for long enough that I feel that my views on this pestilence are well known.

This year we are going to see if any of the information has stuck, and y'all have learned anything. Have minds been changed?

I encourage you to answer the pledge/poll (its anonymous) so we can take the Boneyard temperature in regards to Turkey in 2017.

Please participate.

You like Arbys. By choice.

I'll ignore your food preferences henceforth.

This may be a reply that belongs in The Cesspool, because the wording of the poll is as slanted as a questionnaire I recently received about President Trump and the media. The forced choice answers there did not fit, and that's the case here as well.

I usually end up taking a beautifully composed picture of my Thanksgiving plate that is composed of a dozen or so food choices. Turkey is among them and I have objections. That'd make me a traditionalist, but without the slur.

What puzzled me was why y'all omitted all the apostrophes and spelled it "Turkey." We're you up to some kind of trick's there?

Can't really answer. I don't hate turkey, but I feel no need to follow cultural traditions. The last 3 years we have gone out to eat at a local soul food restaurant that specializes in fried fish and seafood in general ... no turkey involved. This year should be more of the same!

You don't eat seafood and you think Arby's is great eats, you and Whaler are invalidated when it comes to food.

 

[Deepster]

Well, this thread is a full out fail.

 

[August_West]

Well, this thread is a full out fail.

Is it though? I find it encouraging. Right now 40 percent of the boneyard thinks turkey sucks enough that it is not the featured dish of Thanksgiving . That's higher than I wouldve predicted and gives me hope for humanity.

My message is being accepted.

I @#&* love turkey. It's a big part of why Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.

I actually cite real numbers. That's the big difference between me and Mr spock

What are you talking about I don't eat seafood?
Youre as misinformed as Cl82

 

[jibsey]

Whether one likes the taste of turkey or not, a big part is the smell of it through the house. Fish won’t quite get that done.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Anyone who doesn't like the full, classic, home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner (Turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes) is insane.
Unless you're vegan. Which, if by choice, also makes you insane.

Love your new avatar etc.
Brilliant

Like all good Italians, I will eat turkey after the ante pasta,
Wedding soup. Stuffed artichokes and lasagna.
Then the Pilgrim food.

AW, being fat doesn't make you a gourmet.

Different people like different things. I personally would select slow roasted turkey breast (or if were summer, smoked turkey breast) over anything Arby's would ever put on their menu.

You sound triggered .

Arby's pork belly > Turkey

Nobody is voting in your stupid push poll, Augie.

Because you're a normal, red-blooded American.

53 votes jack brohammer. I have a mandate

 

[HuskyHawk]

Turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy are among the great food combinations in human history. Yes, that’s what we will be eating. Wish we had it more often.

 

[sledog]

nothing like a traditional t-day dinner: eel, squirrel, beans, corn, nits, an rasberries. What did you think they had in 1620 (they landed Nov 9)? Whole Foods take-out?

 

[Kitaman]

Turkey with ketchup. Mmmmmm!

No rational person puts ketchup on turkey.

You haven't been here long enough to get the joke.

 

[Husky25]

Turkey is as much of a part of Thanksgiving as rooting against the Cowboys, a Lions loss ATS. That is far from saying it's the best part of the meal. In fact there is probably only one food, out all that is traditionally served that day, that I would place turkey ahead of.
