Re: Propper Feast Day Meal
I refuse to vote because the correct option, "Yummy Food", was omitted.
I'll check back some time after FUDKOMA is over. :)
Re: Propper Feast Day Meal
I, too, vote NOTA. The correct answer is a fresh turkey, 10-20 lbs, roasted and basted by hand.
Re: Propper Feast Day Meal
Basting the bird? That's a new one
Re: Propper Feast Day Meal
Not really, I do it every night.
Re: Propper Feast Day Meal
I too require a NOTA option, as I'm famous for making my friends and family suffer tremendous anxiety by experimenting with new recipes.
Re: Propper Feast Day Meal
you can't have a proper feast day meal without proper spelling
Re: Propper Feast Day Meal
You can have a propper one, though. Prop-Tarts, optional.
Re: Propper Feast Day Meal
I love tarts. and strumpets.
Re: Propper Feast Day Meal
My mother experimented with a brined turkey. She's apparently become a big Alton Brown fan, and used a few of his recommendations this year.
SO tasty.
Re: Propper Feast Day Meal
Well my feast is double stuffed.
Re: Propper Feast Day Meal
Alton is big on the brine. He even brined the deep fried one.
Re: Propper Feast Day Meal
Correct spelling is a stupid obsession of liberal arts majors.
Re: Propper Feast Day Meal
The only way to cook turkey is to obtain a fresh turkey that wasn't raised in a shed with 40,000 others, stuff it to taste, provide a rough garnish for the gravy, cook it for 20 min/pound at 325 F, basting regularly by hand until it is done.
All other ways are inventions of Satan. (Or Shaitan if you are Muslim.)
Re: Propper Feast Day Meal
I've heard all sorts of recipes, including several methods for brining that all sound wonderful.
But it makes no difference to me. Overcooked turkey is a holiday tradition at my parents. Mom was never a very good cook.
I just try to remember to make myself a nice fresh cranberry and chipotle sauce to cover it with. I could eat a cardboard box if it was covered with that stuff.
Also signatures are noticeably absent. - Smacky
