 Topic: Dark Meat or White Meat 2010
Posted: November 25 2010 at 05:42 |
Hi all, I've created a special Thanksgiving poll in honor of today being Thanksgiving here in the United States. Whichever your preference, I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving today enjoys a wonderful dinner with their friends and family.
My preference is white meat.

I love the juicy fatness of legs and thighs.
Happy Thanksgiving Scott.

I like to have a nice mixture of white and dark. Speaking of which, that delicious smell downstairs is about to drive me insane.

And you younger guys should be downstairs helping the folks cook.....I know you can't imagine this now but someday you'll have to take over the preparation of the family favorites. Take notes!

Will do.  I'd actually like to cook but my dad has that obsessive thing where he has to prepare the turkey. So I let him.

Happy Thanksgiving my fellow 'Mericans.
I've always preferred white meat regardless of what animal it comes from.

Pffff ... Thanksgiving is so last month (for me).
My mom did cook a turkey on the weekend though, and I've been enjoying the leftovers. I usually go for a bit of dark and a bit of white meat.

We eat good old Southern poor food on Thanksgiving.
Beside turkey and ham, we have stuffing, mashed potatoes, collards, field peas, fried cornbread, candied yams, potato salad, deviled eggs, rolls, and for dessert, sweet potato cookies, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie.
That's at my mom's mom this afternoon.
This evening, we do it all over again at my dad's mom, and this year my uncle is deep frying the turkey.
Been a hard year for us, but so much to be thankful for.

Have a great one Robert, and don't let your uncle burn the house down with that hot oil fryer

If the bird be the word it's been both for me as long as I can remember. Perhaps the better question is fried, smoked, or baked?

Knowing him, he'll probably be a little buzzed.

I like a bit of both. We'll be eating with my wife's extended family today. My daughter will be in town on Saturday (she has to work today and tomorrow) so we'll do it all over again, on a smaller scale. I may try to deep fry, if the weather does not include rain, but i've had trouble in the past keeping the oil temps up due to ambient cold temperatures (40 degrees or so). We'll have the usual sides. I make a mean yam + bourbon + brown sugar side dish, which given that there is leftover bourbon also generally implies that I should avoid deep frying the turkey.

Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

Perhaps some round bacon will make you feel better.  Yeah I know it's a bad joke....
