I don’t know why but it bothers the hell out of me when people start calling the Thanksgiving turkey, “The Bird.”
It”s all, “Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey…” until about 48 hours out of the oven then it’s suddenly, “The Bird.”
Not making a statement. I live turkey and will eat it however you like to call it. I just don’t like it when you call it “The Bird.” It’s not “The Bird.” “The Bird” is a hand gesture. You are not gonna cook my middle finger on low for 9 hours after a salt brine soak. Or if you are then I’m going to go now.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Here’s to the bird:
