Maybe we won’t fight. But the name Ham Gravy just does not sound appealing.
I like ham and I like gravy tho’.
It’s a pain in the ass to cook, but I’ve made some really good bird. Best turkey ever was injected and fried. Juicy and full of flavor. Smoked is also good.
I’m a big smoker/BBQ guy. Ribs/brisket etc. But you need fat in the piece. I’m not convinced I won’t be wasting my time trying to smoke a turkey.
Water pan? Bacon draped all over the thing?
I ain’t googled yet; I’ll take the word of folks here.
I still think turkey’s one of the absolute WOAT meats.
I chatted w someone today who said rotator cuff surgery’s a bitch. About as bad as hip replacement.
You basically can’t move your arm at all for a couple months?
Instead of low and slow like brisket, you go hot and fast. Buy one on sale after Thursday and give it a shot. Brine and spatchcock.
It just comes down to how you cook it.
Sounds like grilling. Got a link to a decent recipe?. I’ll give it a whirl cos turkey’s cheap anyway.
If I fuck it up, i can just chop it up for tacos/curry or something.
Just reread this. I’m hoping this is some elite sarcasm. If I’m wrong, please don’t correct me; I want to keep the dream.
Not a weird food but it’s pretty weird America has thanksgiving only few weeks before Xmas. Canada’s date is way better.

Hey dumbest motherfucker I have ever encountered on the internet, why is Thanksgiving being only 5-6 weeks before Christmas weird?
Like I am really confused on the relationship between the two holidays that makes it weird that they are that a month closer compared to the Canadian version.

Who would have thought that a holiday based on the harvest would come earlier in a place that gets cold earlier?
It’s a mystery.
Sweet potato casserole has definitely improved dramatically in our family getting rid of marshmallows and doing a pecan streusel topping. Also not adding 8 pounds of sugar to sweet potatoes!
Mmm

Yeah, I’m in a sling 100% of the time except when I shower. 6 weeks i have to be in it. I’m about 1.5 weeks in so far. If you ask me in 6 months I’ll probably say it was a great decision, but right now I think I’d take the pain of my torn rotator over being in this sling. I’m pretty sure my wife would agree.
Lolololololol it’s hilarious what triggers the American patriotism reflex.
It was invented here and at one time celebrated in April and May and later November too. It’s just a political choice when it’s celebrated. It seems objectively better to have the two holidays further separated in time.
I definitely agree with this. My kid is at school from August until November, then home for a week, the back to school for three weeks, then home again. Would be much better to have it more spread out.

Are you actually asserting that Canadians originated the concept of a harvest celebration?
Canada’s Thanksgiving timing is so we can give thanks for the start of the NHL season.
I obviously said no such thing in my post and of course you know that.
I don’t know if the world would be a better or worse place if as much planning went into it as you want in your hockey addled, maple syrup drowned head.
