Damned Commies Complaining About Turkey.

Not messing around: The meal I'd like at this time is based on what I know or guess about the first few meals:

• Boiled lobster
• Salmon- baked or roasted.
• Lots of corn- Roasted? Boiled? Ground? Hah! early polenta or grits.
• Pheasant, grouse, quail.
• Squash (not the court game)
• Pumpkin- but no pies.

You might find this video from Tasting History interesting! I often put this channel on in the background when I'm cooking

Thanks! I did enjoy that video, and see I left out the main course, venison....

You got pretty much all of the other ingredients, even the polenta!

Cut out the breast, and slide on the cutting board. Less wasted. Another fantastic Thanksgiving dinner!

Nice !
But you left the best parts - the leg/thigh and the "oysters"
Or are you saving the best for last ?

Typically, dark meat is reserved for next day. White meat gets finished first. Kinda strange. More fat in the dark meat, and they taste better. But everyone goes for white meat. Of course, my younger son doesn't care. He lifts weight and any protein is a good protein x)

In our house the dark meat gets finished first.
Luckily one of my sons is a white meat guy.
But then he's a white, square bread kinda guy also.
And complains that the fruit cake has TOO much fruit and not enough cake

yeah in our house dad claimed the dark meat and we were left with the white meat.

Took my 93 yr old mom to my brothers house . Good time all around , young grand kids are a delight .
Only downside was... his son-in-law smoked the turkey (not in a pipe ).
I've just never been crazy about smoked meat.......
