I am hosting my church dinner group tomorrow. I told them we would be having Thanksgiving dinner in April. I plan to cook a turkey and make mashed potatoes and gravy. Mmm… They are bringing green bean casserole, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. Mmm…
Finding a turkey has been harder than I thought. I finally found it at the sixth grocery store I visited . Before that, I found turkey breasts in one place, and I found cornish game hens, ducks, geese, chickens, and capons (whatever those are).
I’m a little surprised. I mean, I don’t ever cook turkey other than on Thanksgiving, but I would think other people would, wouldn’t they? Maybe not.
Apparently, it’s a castrated male chicken that’s been fattened for eating.
That is a great idea! I’m surprised, too, that turkeys are not around.
Mmmmm…. what time is dinner?
My mouth is watering…
Butcher’s daughter chiming in here: the “KAY-pon” preceded the era of buying just a chicken breast. I’d frankly not seen one in food liners of late – thanks for showing that they are still being raised and sold. (Poor eunuch roosters…)
