The time has coming for planning our annual restaurant turkey fest here in Tokyo. But I want to briefly rant about recent turkey developments...
1. Deep fried turkey is a wee bit crazy and should be avoided. It is also dangerous.
2. Turkduckens are excessive and unnecessary. period. yes they are fun and weird but Thanksgiving is not supposed to be fun and weird. No offense to our Cajun friends out there... but it is really over the top, and deep down inside you know it's true!
3. Cranberries should be whole and not jellied in a can- I don't care that this is what you remember from your childhood. It is wrong.
If you are tempted on #3 just look at this picture... I mean really- this does not even look like food!
4. I actually don't love yams. candied or otherwise. I suppose that is not really a rule-- just a comment.
5. Pumpkin pie can be made from canned pumpkin IIOIIIL
(it is ok if it is libby's)
