My view is that Turkey is pretty foul.
Also, the thought of millions of large birds being killed every year just to celebrate a holiday commemorating quite literally the begining of the end for the Native Americans population is a bit distasteful to me these days.

I'm not talking about Thanksgiving, but I see your point with regards to the Native Americans and that particular holiday. However, when I do celebrate Thanksgiving, I'm mostly just taking a day to be particularly thankful for what I have, for having a family that's mostly happy and healthy, and getting a chance to remember all the great Thanksgivings I had as a kid.

Why not break "tradition" and make your own? I like turkey. I choose it to be my own. My parents kind of moved on to having prime rib for Xmas, but I gotta stick with the turkey. mmmmmm, tryptophan......

At the Kenzan home, we'll be having an all you can eat Grilled Cheese and Spam Musubi festival in the Kitchen, complete will gobs of Japanese style potato salad. So what kind of sauce do you fry the Spam in? My wife uses a kind shoyu/mirin combo that is dang good, then sprinkles furikake on the rice, puts the Spam on, more furikake, then presses it all together. Nice.

P.s. You totally missed the Turkey being "foul" pun. darn, so did I...
