Foul question

[fbhjr]

A week from today is “national eat a turkey day” here in the USA.
People pretend it goes back to 1620 here in Massachusetts and not Abraham
Lincoln saying “this war is going on forever, we need a holiday in November
to make people feel better”.
But, for whatever reason, a lot of turkeys are going to be cooked next
Thursday.

Me, I like turkey. It is my favorite kind of dinosaur to eat.
But, I know a lot of folks who only eat it on thanksgiving and only because
it is the traditional meal.

So, I was wondering, what kind of dinosaur is your favorite?
(Some of these I’ve never had, so don’t know myself.)

I only picked turkey because you didn't have lamb on the list :)

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

Last I knew, lambs were not birds...

[endlessblush.livejournal.com]

But birds aren't dinosaurs

[morgan-lafaye.livejournal.com]

technically,yes they are. They can be directly link to dinos. They still carry, much the same DNA, and characteristics of dinos. Freaky ,huh?

[endlessblush.livejournal.com]

That is freaky and something I did not know. You learn something new everyday - thanks

OK, 65 million years ago the things that would become birds were dinosaurs. The things that would become humans were mice. So, go figure.

This I did not know Frank ... you learn something new everyday! :D

[morgan-lafaye.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm, lamb.

[endlessblush.livejournal.com]

I know right.

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

I like it when it is first made, but not cold.

[endlessblush.livejournal.com]

oh it's yum on a sandwich :D

[morgan-lafaye.livejournal.com]

Sorry about this Frank. Take cream cheese and feta cheese, mix together, and use as a spread on a lamb sandwich.

"Favorite kind of dinosaur" *spit/drink* LOL

Well, yes, this is true. Never thought of it this way. :D

Apparently the 1620's dinner party had a lot of venison (which I don't like anyway but that's beside the point), and apparently the abundance of deer was shocking to the settlers who got lost and stopped over here, let alone knowing that there was no punishment for hunting/consuming deer as it wasn't really royal land

I have no idea when turkey was started to be consumed, though. I do find the overlap and re-visioning of history in the history of the holiday interesting in and of itself.

Duck. I have never had pheasant,quail or ostrich, you missed peacock, which I also never had. Howard the Duck is a turkey so......
Andy, deer,pheasant and a lot of fish, nuts, berries, corn, and a bit of bread,ale, mead all made up what would have been the "First Thanksgiving" had it happened 1620. LoL

I
Have not eaten pheasant (yet) or Howard. I like all the rest.

I am quite fond of turkey once I learned how to make it well.
