Retro-Tweet of the Day, I’ve Been Wondering This For Years edition.

Seriously.  does anybody ever actually eat this [expletive deleted]? It seems like a waste of a perfectly good turkey.

I should establish a few things, here: first off, I am not a seafood person. You grow up on the beach, you either love it or you avoid it like the plague; I’m one of the latter types. But I still get that many people love them some lobster and crab, so it’s no biggie for me to get my head around the idea of serving that with turkey.

But… octopus? Is that really how people eat octopus?  I was under the impression that it usually got cut up into little bits and then deep-fried into submission, or something.

Anyway, that’s been bugging me for years. Especially since people keep sending me pictures of this, or other attempts to make poultry eldritch.  I apparently have a certain reputation.

  1. I agree with you completely, it looks like a waste of a turkey to me. But then again I grew up in Indiana whose only beach is on Lake Michigan and where the most exposure I had to seafood was fish sticks and maybe catfish.

  2. I know I wouldn’t eat it .. and that they’d be better staring from
    オドイドン (odoi-don or “dancing squid bowl”) for full-on creepiness.

    This looks like something you put on the serving table for “decoration” .. which is great *except* there are homeless and hungry people on Thanksgiving, just like any other day.

    Instead of wasting food, consider asking your local social organ if they’d like a nice donation, huh?

    p.s. I cooked a full meal in the local Episcopalians’ church kitchen and served over 30 people .. 10 homeless, 5 with an apartment but very little food .. last year. That’s how I roll ..
