It's a TURKEY, for heaven's sake. IT HAD A HEAD AT ONE TIME.
I don't know what it is about Americans (some) who freak out and go knock-kneed whenever they realize something they are about to eat has a head on it.
I've seen it in Asia. (some Yanks want us to take them over to any nearby Korean market just so they can take photos of the pig's heads lined up).
The first thing we as Americans get rid of on a fish before cooking is the head. Yet in Asia (China, on billion people, India one billion people), the parts around the cheeks are the richest and best part (on large fish). Cooked fish rarely have a head missing. I don't know what the big thing deal is.
I guess some people don't want to be reminded that what they are about to eat at one time was alive, and killed by man. What else is new?
