I’ll be having pizza.
turkey day. Turkey Day. TURKEY DAY. T U R K E Y D A Y!!!
Actually we still call it Thanksgiving and emphasize the God to whom the thanks are offered (there really is no point otherwise).
Apparently one side effect of vegan ism and vegetarianism is an insatiable desire to tell others how to act and what to say.
I don’t care if a person chooses not to eat meat. I eat lots of meatless meals. I don’t, however, eat processed, fake flavored verions of the real deal (except orange soda). To me, that’s weird and not healthy, just someone trying too hard.
I don’t care if people have alternatives to the traditional dinner. Just know if you are coming to my house you are getting turkey with a 100 year old stuffing recipe.
Now I have another weapon to fight the libs/pc people. I always say Happy Thanksgiving to anyone who says Happy Holidays. And, I also say Merry Christmas to anyone who says Happy Holidays. I’ll fit Turkey day in there somewhere.
An attractive young lady I dated back in 70 - 71 convinced me to go the veggie route for about 9 months with her. The sustenance she provided me had nothing to do with food so I acquiesced. My epiphany occurred on thanksgiving day 1971...my family, myself and the young lady drove the 50 or so miles into the Bronx to my very Italian Nana’s house. Turkey was a side dish to the lasagna and meatballs, sausage and braciole Nanny placed in front of us. There was no stoping my ‘other’ base desire....that of my meat cravings.
The young lady and I soon broke up..... And not for food reasons. I will never regret my little vegetarian excursion. It made that one thanksgiving meal taste all the better. And though I’m glad I did not marry the young lady....I will never forget that learning experience either
I’ve got another suggestion on what the vegans and vegeterians can eat. It rhymes with “spit.”
And every Thanksgiving day for the last 42 years the news media has reports from people who think they are better than you because they do not eat MEAT!
Tofurky. GAG!
A thread about this from a couple of years ago;

Said that soy may help turning kids gay and causing something akin to steroid rage in young men. Haven’t seen it debunked yet.
So that works out to 170,000 people a year out of a nation of 300,000,000. That's 1 in 1765. Or does a tofurkey serve more than one?
Who has a still pix from the Everybody Loves Raymond episode? With the jello turkey. Yechk.
I think it's also healthy like Vaq did to try vegetarianism for a short while -- makes you appreciate meat more :)
Basically I try to have meat just about 3 times a week -- that's me, whatever anyone else wants to do is their choice -- fish on others or other stuff. Just gives me different interesting choices each day. I'm also convinced that the healthy way is moderation -- have whatever you want, just don't go overboard.
Again -- to all the trolls -- these are my opinions and what I follow -- whatever you want to do, do
