So how do you folks normally consume the cooked carcass of Meleagridinae gallopavo? I've has deep fried (peanut oil) and it's not really greasy (not very greasy at all in fact) but the flavor was awesome.
 
Well, most of NMA is European so... Thanksgiving is non-existent to them. Thats kinda like asking random people in South-Central LA how they celebrate haunika. Most likely the reply isn't going to be a friendly one.


But yeah... I deep fry..... MMMmmmmmm

Proof?
 
I'll be cooking the turkey just the same as I have every year for the past 10: Four sticks of butter shoved in it's butt and cooked with the breasts upside down. It also gets a liberal application of cajun seasoning.

The butter and upside-down cooking makes for a very moist and evenly cooked turkey.

I've always wanted to try one of those deep-fried turkeys, but I always imagine a 20 foot column of flame as a result.
 
In Germany, we treat turkey the same way we treat chicken, except that you won't get half a fried turkey as take-away.

Also, if you really want to celebrate a day where you thank thy theos for throwing food at you, at least choose a cool one, like Bacchus -- the divine drunkard and party animal.

What the fuck?

Goddamn cannibals.

Interestingly enough the word "Cannibal" came from the Europeans belief that native Indians of the Caribbean were people eaters. Double interesting the word Caribbean means, "Cannibal". Where is Hannibal Lector so he can stick that in his pipe and spoke it!

Also, on the same subject of the same area. The word Barbecue comes from the way the Europeans thought the Caribbean Indians cooked humans.

Note, there is no proof that the Indians of the Caribbean are or ever were cannibals. -The End


For me, Thanksgiving is not so much about the food... It's a day off from work, I have a little food here and there, visit family and flirt with my cute cousins that are not actually cousins by blood; but soon by marriage... One is a stripper in Vegas too... So sad... Oh! and I enjoy a rare half day at work the day after Thanksgiving. Typically we don't get vary many days off from our 40+ hour work weeks in America.
 
Thanksgiving is actually a fairly secular holiday around here. Nice to get two days off of work and have a chance to hang out with the family for a change. It's quite possibly my favorite holiday. I cook a turkey, my parents feed me until I can no longer move, my wife, sister, and mother look at photo albums, and I fall asleep on the couch while my father and uncles watch football. Plus, I don't have to clean anything. And there is pumpkin pie. Doesn't get much better then that.
 
I'm going to spend it the same way I always do...

Reminding people that they should show their thanks to the white man the same way their forefathers did to the Native Americans, by stealing their land and destroying their culture...

It's remarkably easy!
 
Hey, just think of it this way, had they come together as a nation and fought us in an effective manor. The natives might still be a nation.

But they fought amongst themselves and fought in their traditional manor (mostly) Yeah there were a few good uprisings but by then it was too little too late.

But hey, its in the past, We just need to remember not to do it again so much. For now! LETS EAT!

Hmmm... Uh.... There's... uh... The ACLU?

I think they're secular, even though nobody likes them and constantly refers to them as evil bloodsucking communists.

Personally, I don't think that's a fair accusation because I'm a bloodsucking communist and I don't even share that many points with them!

Ohh! Ohh! I'm going to report you to "Big Brother", you will be hauled away to another country where they torture you and hold you until they deem you not a threat... "Don't be a stupie! Be a shmarte and join the Naz-American party!" :P
 
Turkey Day and Christmas are special for me because I've decided it's simply a regular time to get the family together and to eat a good meal. :|

Seriously, every dinner should be as grandiose and together as the holidays we come together for each year.

In any case; this turkey day, I'm going to make the same thing I made last year. My parents are both away from the country (they flew to Paris for a week, for obvious reasons); so I will be cooking this year. I cooked last year, but now I'm going to have to do it completely alone.

Dinner will consist of:

Baked turkey, stuffed with rice and served with cranberry sauce.
Mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy.
Fresh baked italian or lithuanian loaf. Like, warm and crunchy.
Caesar salad made from Romaine Hearts with bread crumbs and dressing.
Mashed sweet potatoes with marshmellow (microwave-melted) mixed in.
Apple Pie (bought from store), heated in oven.
A bottle of old wine that I've stored in the kitchen for like five years, to eat with dinner.
For my little brother, some apple cider.

I'd happily invite anyone from NMA to come join me for Turkey Day feast, but I'm too paranoid to do so. If I ever fly to Poland though, I'd have one with you guys over there. :)

I'd like to see them try! I'm not one of those college prep-boy communists who'll wind up an evil billionaire industrialist!

I'm one of those old-school, burn down the mansions, smash-my-shoe-on-a-desk-at-the-U.N. Communists!

But on the other hand, I can do a pretty mean German accent...

Vat is ze deal vit Mustard Gas? You cannot eat it, it does not spread on mein bratvurst! Vat is up vit dat?
 
Maybe you get a day off...maybe you don't. Maybe you see family...maybe you don't. What really matters is the PUMPKIN PIE! Yes you heard me...I believe it to be one of the greatest foods ever created. Doesn't matter what season or celebration, pumpkin pie is always good and always tasty.
