Ifprime rib didn’t cost about $40/lb I’d eat that over $.49/lb turkey any day. The pilgrims and the natives they eventually slaughtered didn’t eat turkey.
After the cannabalism blind yesterday, I read "Would you be willing to replace turkey as the meat for Thanksgiving?" with a very different slant! Hell no, I will not be served!
Although, a fabulous Twilight Zone episode comes to mind!
We have a Christmas extravaganza planned for ALL family Christmas Day with turkey dinner so thanksgiving this year is prime rib roast for 15 with PF Chang’s garlic green beans, roasted red potatoes, salad and pie. Easy meal. Easy clean up
I feel like shit this year and today I said FUCK THE TURKEY I just can't do it. It's the first time in more than 50 years and frankly I don't care. There's a possibility we are invited to someone else's thing but I dont wanna do that either. Really don't feel good. Bad head cold, headache, cough that chokes me in the morning and no energy. Back to bed for me. FUck the turkey this year.
I don't eat meat. I do not eat beautiful sentient beings. Beings that have brains, hearts and feelings. I will not enable a system that keeps beautiful pigs and cows caged and terrified in some warehouse. A system that keeps creatures stuffed into cages, where they cannot move or see sunlight. Nor do I cut down a beautiful living tree, for "Christmas".
@Daryl, I respect that. Not wanting to harm other living creatures, disgusted by the factory farms, those are good values. I don't trust a meatless diet, but I hope it pans out for you. And I agree on the trees. I used to think fake trees were for pansies, but like fishing and hunting I just got tired of killing things for holidays or fun. Seems kind of assholely to kill a tree just because you need a giant air freshener to hang shit on in your living room.
I don't eat anything with eyes ... besides, I'm a believer that you take on the torture (in a sense) of the animal that has been butchered when you eat it. So it's a 'yes' from me.
@DarylIsBigFan - so beautifully said! π I'm making a Christmas tree out of plywood which I'm going to affix wooden pegs to, and hang it from the wall; I will decorate it with environmentally friendly painted bits of paper from my shredding machine.
Yes! My family had a "summer Thanksgiving" so everyone could attend and because my father lives near the beach. We never get to go to the beach in Nov but having it in July was perfect. Instead of turkey, my dad made pork, fried plantains, spanish rice, etc. Couldn't have been better!
I canceled my plans for Thanksgiving today. Everything kept changing and getting more and more complicated to the point that I was feeling totally stressed out π«. No thanks. So I’ll eat whatever I decide to eat.
As far as Christmas, I don’t have to worry about π❄️π, because I’ll be celebrating with π΄πΊπ΄ππ΄.
I am replacing the turkey. Here’s my menu: Boston Butt Pork Roast Stuffed Merlitons Oyster Dressing Crawfish Bisque w/rice Green Bean Casserole Salad w/huge boiled shrimp, feta, red onion, cucumber, tomato, green and black olives, avocado Italian Bread Praline Pecan Panacotta
I'm not cooking it this year, just demoted to sides. Sis in law is though, I hope she can finally pull off a non-dry, well seasoned bird. I might possibly sneak in a prime rib done in my instant pot though, muahahahaha!
Hell to the NO.
ReplyDeleteNo, why would I do that?
ReplyDeleteNO!
ReplyDeleteNo. And I think we've all seen the Peanuts Thanksgiving special to know of the dangers of veering away from Turkey.
ReplyDeleteCornish hens and Prime ribeye
ReplyDeleteYes. We almost did one year, and then we made the best turkey we've ever had.
ReplyDeleteMy family never served turkey, always a roast chicken or capon. Turkey is quite gamey tasting
ReplyDeleteYour buying the wrong kind and cooking it wrong then
DeleteIn the words of the classical poet Stephen Lynch,
ReplyDelete"Tofurkey tofuck yourself
I want some meat"

ReplyDeleteTofurkey is delicious & a lot healthier.
ReplyDeleteI always do. I don't eat meat, pork or poultry.

Hahaha...I scrolled down and was just about to make the same comment.
DeleteWe think the same on a lot of things Vita.

We have turkey and ham. Don't like either so I would not care if turkey was replaced.
ReplyDeleteWe've had potroast, roasted chicken,Cornish hen, roast beef alternatively in addition to turkey for those who don't care for it.
ReplyDeleteWe never have turkey. We always do something fun and different, like steaks on the grill, kabobs, etc.
ReplyDeleteOnly commies and them vegan loons dont do turkey for thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteMy wife also bakes a ham with turkey just in case.
ReplyDeletewe're having grilled pork chops
ReplyDeleteWe're already planning to have fried shrimp and steaks for Thanksgiving this year, so yes.

ReplyDeleteNot even potatoes?
DeleteAlways have. The only time I eat turkey on T-Day is if we're going to friends, which we are this year. So no standing rib roast for me!

ReplyDelete100%
ReplyDeletevegan for the animals, baby!
Sure! I prefer turkey at Christmas anyway. But hubby would kill me if I took away one of his two (sometimes three) turkeys a year.
ReplyDeleteMomo, I hope you feel better quickly.
ReplyDeleteBawdy Unknown -- LOL and cheers!π I'm honored, bc the basting comment just made me guffaw!π

ReplyDeleteIt's hilarious how some assholes are so thinskinned and defensive over people not wanting to eat meat. It doesn't affect you any.
ReplyDeleteI am always on the side against mental illness.
