Thanksgiving turkey survey!

[Metalhead]

Do you enjoy Thanksgiving turkey?

Or does your country even celebrate with Thanksgiving turkey?

Or are you a vegetarian who thinks turkey is fowl?

 

[Dagan]

Smoke 'em, if you got em!

Smoked turkey leg about has no equal.

 

[Gerald Wilgus]

I enjoy every bit of the turkey and use its carcass and leftover veggies to make a great stock for soups and other cooking.

 

[Tired]

I dont eat corpses. And this celebration doesn't happen here.

With reflux I haven't been able to eat a traditional full Thanksgiving dinner in 20 years. I don't even go out anymore given the limited menu I am restricted to, while very few restaurants/buffets offer anything but that Thanksgiving Day dinner. I did enjoy things like fish & chips and fried shrimp, but they were getting increasingly difficult to find on menus that day.

But there will be tacos!

I voted Hell no.

I have multiple autoimmune diseases that are triggered by any animal protein as well as a few other plant based foods. So, I have to stick with what works. Even a single little "taste" is catastrophic. So, cheating is no option.

However, that is fine with me. I don't need any kind of traditional Thanksgiving meal to celebrate Thanksgiving. I'm just as happy celebrating with my regular, simple, safe meal.

I have plenty to be thankful for as is.

I don't really celebrate the holiday per say, but I do enjoy the excuse to cook a turkey dinner. Also being Canadian we have our Thanksgiving in October.

I love turkey. My favorite part is the turkey legs.

 

[Misery]

I intend to hide in my room here throughout that day.

Crackers and a sandwich, likely.

The only meat I'm generally willing to eat is tuna, for some reason. Wont eat any other meat. But tuna is okay somehow. So maybe that'll be what's in the sandwich.

What about things like the cranberry sauce, the pumpkin pie, ect.?

Nah, that's way outside my range of things I'm willing to eat.

It's a pretty small list.

I like turkey but it's too much work for me to cook 20-pound turkeys like I used to do. These days, our family cooks all kinds of things for holidays - steak, roast, ham, chicken, lobsters, salmon, etc. and sometimes even lasagna.

Reminded me of that sad day when my mother lamented that she's done with cooking. So many great meals over the years. Many years...of toiling over a stove just to feed us. And especially to think of what it took Mom to cook an always successful Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings.

So thank mothers everywhere...because it won't last forever. For me it's just a pleasant, but distant memory and little else now.

@Judge - I know that sadness. As my mother's health failed, we daughters stepped up our game to help her provide classic holiday meals. I wrote down her recipe for sausage and cornbread dressing (stuffing to non-southerners) and her fabulous yeast roll recipe. But there are other recipes that I wish I had gotten such as her dark chocolate and vanilla marble bundt cake. She cooked everything from scratch, rarely measured any ingredients other than in the palm of her hand, and was a great cook. She wasn't a "fancy" chef-y cook but a rock-solid home cook who could organize and feed an army of family and assorted friends and get it all cooked and ready for service at the exact time she said she would. I miss her like you miss your mom.

I refuse to thank my blood mother.

 

[Mary Terry]

I refuse to thank my blood mother.

That's fine and very understandable based on things you have told us about her. I refused to even speak to or see my father for 3 years before he died. And I didn't go to his funeral, either.

"You are what you eat."
I don't go to bizarre funerals for abandoned pets, and all domestic animals make good pets if you have the room and attention.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
