I never did get used to reaching inside the cavity and pulling out the feet, neck and head with the dead eyes staring at me! I always had a house-full of Brazilians invited to partake, and while they were used to eating a plate full of food, they too were amazed that we did it with a whole turkey. We ex-pats also had to import cranberries and corn bread mix, but they were sooooo wonderful after a year between servings! Made lugging a heavy suitcase worth it!<br /><br />BTW, LOVE your site! I'm coming to Italy in October for 3 months, so that I'm there for the birth of baby Jesus!Margienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-31154193012062697172014-11-26T18:58:02.117+01:002014-11-26T18:58:02.117+01:00Good to read this classic!Good to read this classic!Harmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-26995872342468944022009-11-30T18:33:15.802+01:002009-11-30T18:33:15.802+01:00mgiglio:

Then the next day mix in the leftover mashed potatoes and reheat. It's yummy all over again.<br /><br /><br />Dessert,is always hot apple pie a la mode.<br /><br />I brought Beaujolais Nouveau which went down well with the gobble gobble.<br /><br />DavideDave514https://www.blogger.com/profile/08791965245809463319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-12885835509836938272009-11-27T08:03:52.535+01:002009-11-27T08:03:52.535+01:00verry good... i like your blog.verry good... i like your blog.john manjurhttp://obatmanjurku.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362454344378752317.post-56387773758927530032007-11-26T16:48:00.000+01:002007-11-26T16:48:00.000+01:00Check out Elizabeth's Blog!

Che siamo poveri?) so the whole Thanksgiving thing appears to be more of that American wastfulness & excess. Why on earth would anyone make all that food? We never even attempted Thanksgiving the entire 20 years in Italy so it never occurred to me what you would have to do to get a whole bird (very funny - I can picture the macellaio while you are making this request) which I guarantee will not come in the excess (again) sizes ours do here in the States!

You are so right on all accounts, luckily a nearby trattoria took care of the turkey de-feathering (and cooking of the beast) so we just saw the final product. <BR/>Once a year a just-throw-it-all-on-a-plate affair is rather liberating that should be sparingly shared with the natives. <BR/>EElizabeth Abbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09763064258020825441noreply@blogger.com
