I have no idea what they are feeding them these days but they taste rancid.

We're having Jiao Zi made with pork and cabbage--maybe chives--which we will make ourselves. My JO-wife is from Taiwan, and being of good southern Chinese stock, she eats any quadruped, fish, mollusc, etc. <br /><br />While I eat it, I'm not really fond of turkey, eating it basically once per year at the extended clan's Thanksgiving feast; maybe as an occasional deli meat (my late mother, Gud hvile henne, convinced my wife that the whole family loves it). Generally, I find turkey too dry. I'll take chicken, duck, or goose over it any day. Even quail.

Surely it is idiosyncratic, not a regional taste; Iberia is full of chickens, isn't it? <br /><br />Anyway, you are being far too gloomy in seeing in your split-menu feasting a token of the Decline of the West. To the contrary, think of it as a feast of liberty, a blow against totalitarian cuisine. Let a hundred flowers bloom!<br /><br />As for me, I'd vote for turkey every other day, and twice on Sundays. Ben Franklin was right: the turkey should be the national bird.

One side of the family eating chicken wings and hotdogs, and the other with the paella. Now that I think about it, this seems an appropriate metaphor for what is happening to our country." WLA<br /><br />You may well have a valid metaphorical argument to illustrate our nations lamentable decline Mr. Dip... <br />and Hat Tip to the Spartan Report who chose today to resurrect a 2015 article written by Kurt Schlichter entitled: "Liberals May Regret Their New Rules".<br /><br />He wrote: "Which brings us to America in 2015. It’s becoming a nation where an elite that is certain of its power and its moral rightness is waging a cultural war on a despised minority. Except it’s not actually a minority – it only seems that way because it is marginalized by the coastal elitist liberals who run the mainstream media." <br />...<br /><br />Liberals imagine that their president can simply take whatever actions he pleases – including ones he previously admitted were unconstitutional – and that the next Republican president won’t do the same. Except then it will be to negate their cherished policies.<br />...<br />The revolt has begun, peacefully. In 2010, and again in 2014, the Silent Majority returned and sent an unmistakable message to the liberal elite. When Bill Clinton got that message in 1994, he recognized that opposition and worked with it. But under Obama, the liberal elite acts to ignore and delegitimize the opposition. 2014 was not a tantrum; it was a warning, and the liberals are betting that they can bluff and bluster their way through it.<br /><br />>>>When you block all normal means of dissent, whether by ignoring the political will of you opponents or using the media to mock and abuse them,<<< you build up the pressure. In 30+ years as an active conservative, I’ve never heard people so angry, so frustrated, so fed up. These emotions are supposed to be dissipated by normal political processes. But liberals are bottling them up. And they will blow. It’s only a matter of how."<br /><br />More grafs, excerpts, and a link to the Schlichter article here: <br /><br />https://www.spartareport.com/2017/11/donks-libs-are-finding-out-that-the-new-rules-arent-as-much-fun-when-applied-to-them/<br /><br />As my Dad, a Red, White, and Blue transplanted American, used to say to US kids: Happy Turkey Day!
