So today I've discussed gravy, cranberries, and Ambrosia salad. Can I say now, though, that I really don't think turkey is one of my favorites. Actually I prefer ham, but I must admit that a slow roasted turkey in the oven looks and smells amazing. For some reason, though, the taste of turkey doesn't really appeal to me. Speaking of taste and going completely off topic, I feel horrible for COVID sufferers that won't be able to smell and taste their Thanksgiving dinners next week. That wouldn't be any fun at all. Okay...back to topic. So turkey really isn't my thing, and others today have mentioned prime rib for Thanskgiving, and others said ribs, and I'm just wondering if other students have a different sort of meat dish than maybe the traditional turkey. I haven't heard yet from anyone that has duck or goose or venison, even though I know there is a lot of hunting in this area of this wildlife. Is there such thing as a venison roast? No one yet either has mentioned seafood, even though one person last period did mention that boiled shrimp is often an appetizer to munch upon prior to the feast at his house.
Also, I wonder does anyone in her do the deep fryer thing with their turkey's or maybe slow roast grill the turkey or some other type of cooking of the bird that maybe would appeal to me more.
And on another topic, isn't there scientific evidence that suggests eating turkey makes us sleepy? Isn't there something about the chemical make-up of turkey? Does the same thing exist for ham or other foods. I know we all feel a little sleepy after eating, but I wonder about foods that actually induce sleeping a little more than others.
I say this because as a kid I remember my older uncles and other relatives always falling asleep after the meal while watching the Lions or Cowboys on televsion.
