I didn't eat a turkey for Thanksgiving until my 20s. Growing up it was either goose or duck. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 21/11/2017 05:24:35 PM

I hate turkey. I loathe it. It's like eating dry shoes. Having to pour a disgusting syrup or gravy over it to make it edible doesn't change the situation. I'm having a filet mignon for Thanksgiving, thank you. If the pilgrims didn't have turkey there's no reason for me to have to eat it.

And isn't the only reason turkey became popular because traditional holiday birds like goose were too expensive? Are we going to start drinking Thunderbird now because some people in the projects can't afford wine?


None of my Russian/Soviet family ever had turkey for any holiday - Thanksgiving or Christmas/New Years.

I'm not the biggest fan of turkey. It's ok thinly sliced in sandwiches with condiments and cheese. But otherwise? Meh.

Definitely go for the filet mignon. If the pilgrims could have had that instead, I am sure they would haven't eaten turkey.

I don't know. Have you seen Chris Hemsworth as Thor? I'd worship that. A lot. The Shrike - 23/11/2017 01:45:19 PM 913 Views
I thought he was red-haired, pre-Marvel. When he was actually worshiped. Cannoli - 24/11/2017 06:15:40 PM 988 Views
