U.S. Turkey Day/Thankgsgiving/Pre-Black-Friday-Dinner

[Martinus]

Anyways, I'm going alone as Dawid's grandma just died and he is not in the mood.

Sorry to hear that Marty.

Thanks. I never met her but he is taking it rather badly. I called off my birthday party that was due the coming weekend, obviously, and am (trying to be) supportive.

Dry is how you know it's cooked thoroughly.  I grew up with a mother so fearful of salmonella, we could play ice hockey with the chicken.

 



Save the neck for me, Clark.

Though for sheer grossness, you can't beat "snicker salad". Candy does not go in salad! 

I don't really like the idea of it, but I don't see how snickers, apples, whipped cream and pudding would not go together.

I love that there's 'snicker salad' and 'snicker apple salad'

I'm not a fan of turkey but I suspect it'sbecause Brits don't cook it well. It's alwatys been roasted (and so dry) rather than fried. These days some people are frying it but I've not had one.

I usually have beef, goose or duck myself.

Yeah. Though my mum is able to cook turkey well. We normally have a goose or turkey and a ham

We better not tell the foreigners about "Pink Stuff".

No shit, right?  To this day I still kinda freak at a moist bird.  "My meat is wet."

Should've seen the look on my bro-in-law's face the first time my sister cooked him chicken breasts.  They were in so long, they came out as chicken fingers.

Ham on Canadian Thanksgiving, for New year, for easter.
Turkey on Christmas.

[Ed Anger]

I don't eat the dark meat.

[CountDeMoney]

That's not what I heard, Colonel.

[Ed Anger]

I like dark taco meat.

So we went to Disney, I came back early because someone has to work and earn the $ for The Wife and kids to continue to spend at Disney. So I am home alone for a few days, watching whatever channel I want and enjoying the peace and quiet.
The original plan was they were to come back today but instead, they are spending an extra night and coming back tomorrow.
So, what should I cook for myself tomorrow? Grill a Steak? Pasta? Take out chinese? 

[Ed Anger]

Pizza.

That's another reason I'd like to live in the US for a year. Freeload on someone's Thanksgiving and join the Jews on Christmas for a Chinese and a movie

[Valmy]

They don't have Jews in the UK?

[CountDeMoney]

They don't have Jews in the UK?

They're already in Miami this time of year, I guess.
