Turkey is awful. Seriously, why the infatuation with turkey?! It's the driest meat with little flavor and only morsels of any food tasting taste can be salvaged if covering in stuffing. If I dumped a load of sugar on dead ferret it would still taste better than turkey. Whenever I eat turkey I feel like I'm embarrassing our forefathers. They fought for me to have the right and privilege to stuff my face with all the high cholesterol food I can scavenge but not a food drier than Egypt and tastier than sand. Actually, sand is a pretty good comparison. Both are tasteless and get pardoned by the president every year (sand=Saudi Arabia). I read an interesting article on NPR about the history of Turkey presidential pardons and the author mentioned on a podcast that the reason for Turkey being a mainstay on Thanksgiving is lobbyists in the 50s who convinced the president to eat turkey and have photo shoots with it. Fun fact, there are turkey lobbyists who spend millions per year protecting
Ever heard the phrase "he could sell sand to an arab"? Well, I'd rather eat sand than Turkey any day of the week and thrice on Thursday because apparently it's logical to have multiple Thanksgiving dinners?
So dear, turkeys and lobbyists, go stuff yourself.
