A Timely Treatise On Turkeys

The annual pardoning of the White House turkey has occurred. The birds, named Flyer and Fryer were given formal presidential pardons, a tradition started in 1947 by Harry S Truman. But since Thanksgiving is upon us, we here at Blue Crab Boulevard thought it would be a good idea to explore the varieties of turkeys available this year. Most people will eat domestic turkey:

Some will have an intrepid hunter in the family and get to eat some wild turkey: 

Some purists will insist on heritage turkeys, the almost forgotten breeds that reputedly taste better than the modern domestic turkey: 

Some will be unlucky enough to be served a tofu turkey:

If you are unlucky and get the tofu bird, we recommend a healthy serving of the other Wild Turkey to help kill the taste.

Regardless, have a very happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

    Ever wonder why vegetarians like to mold their tofu into the shape of a dead animal to eat it?
