What's for lunch?

it's not turkey's fault you don't know how to brine and make a decent gravy

truer words have never been spoken except what i just posted to grace and also the time when I predicted that BYU would beat oklahoma in the BLUE RIVER SHOOTouT.

Decent gravy....as in, I am trying my best to make the turkey not taste like a turkey. As for brine...it helps on the margin, but you still end up with an inferior product.

stop being a dunce. it is probably the most popular deli meat year-round.

turkey is rad and you are starting to piss me off although i like spam.

Deli meat, yeah, whiffed on that one. Throwing that in I'd say outside of Thanksgiving I probably eat turkey maybe another 3-4 times a year. But I still don't see it as a very highly rated meat. It's not like you go to a restaurant and they have some turkey preparation. How many meats would you rate before it?

I did fail to note, that turkey on a sandwich is fine as a deli meat because in comparison to other deli meats it works. However, I am talking about a meat that is featured as a whole meal.

here is bambams turkey. You are telling me that it looks dry and nondelish?

So I guess you never put any sauce on any piece of meat, any potato, any vegetable, anything. No frosting on your cookies, you're just trying make that nasty cookie taste like a cookie!

gravy using a packet that tastes like something other than turkey is not decent gravy. real gravy, made with gizzards, backbone and other trimmings tastes like turkey and is delicious.

It looks less delish than everything else on that plate

This is my main point. On the day where we give thanks and celebrate out bounty, why do we partake of one of the worst meats as a feature of the meal? I don't hate turkey, but it is inferior to so many other meats.

i don't love bam bam's potato salad, for the record

[Coach McGuirk]

its 3rd tbh. Brisket, Jap Saug, Turkey, Ribs, P-salad.

I would eat it, but it would be last on the items on that plate if I were ranking in terms of what I wanted to eat.

If you want to talk strict overall ratings, no problem. I will happily join alongside of you and fight the good fight. Turkey isnt beating out prib or tip or brisket, for example. But that is a categorically different argument than claiming that turkey isn't delish. Regardless of ranking among the divinity of meats, turkey is still fab, while turkey with fresh cranberry sauce and tasty gravy is ab-fab.

Good gravy is delicious on pretty much anything. I love gravy. But when I am eating turkey with gravy it isn't really enhancing the turkey it is just the gravy that is good.

Because, Duncinator, the pilgrims didnt go out and shoot a prime rib, they shot a turkey. get with the patriotic program and stop taking a sh** all over American history.
