Down here in USland, it's the time of year when we eat too much and remember all the Indians who died so we could establish our puritanical Shangri-la. Okay, so perhaps the picture I've painted is inaccurate. Most people don't really remember the Indians. And really, a large portion of this fair land eats more than its share on a daily basis. Really the only distinguishing element of Thanksgiving is turkey. How is it that we base an entire national holiday (two days long) around an oversized, tough, and tasteless bird. Does anyone really like turkey? I may not be averse to turkey, so long as it's not overcooked and there's plenty of dark homemade gravy to drown it in, but really, who actually likes turkey?
I'm off to buy a turkey.
