Fried Turkey!?!? My first Texas Thanksgiving....

[Aggie]

I just wanted to share about my first Thanksgiving away from home and in the south.

It was a hot, sunny day, around 85 degrees...(that alone ruins Thanksgiving) I was in shorts and my mood was already getting bad because I missed home. I wasn't even at my family's house, I was with my dad and step-mother, but we were at a house of some of their friends.

Anyway, then I find out we're having FRIED TURKEY! WTF?? I was so ready to get on a plane back to Jersey at that moment, but oh well, shit happens. So we're standing outside like a scene from King of the Hill in shorts, sweating, in front of a big ass deep frier that you dip the turkey in. It took forever to fry and I was just trying to keep cool and keep a smile on my face, even though I was miserable.

To top it off, once the meal is ready, I find out there are NO mashed potatos. How in the hell do you have a Thanksgiving with no mashed potatos? Well, the turkey ended up being very delicious, so I can't complain about that, but my first southern Thanksgiving was one I will never forget, even though I care to.

Anyone have any bad Thanksgiving stories?

~Thanks Fluffernutter!~

Anyone have any bad Thanksgiving stories?You mean that Thanksgiving where my uncle choked on a bone and died at the diner table?


nahh I'm kidding that never happened.

Luckily all my holidays have been great.

And you're 100% correct, you CAN NOT have a Thanksgiving diner without Mashed Potatos. I think you were robbed of a Thanksgiving! Thats like having a birthday party with no cake. You just cant do that!

Thanksgiving w/o mashed potatoes is unamerican.

My bad thanksgiving story involves my drunk asshole uncle hitting me in the side of the face with a slice of pie.

When I was 8.

Not cool.

I got him back 10 years later. He's bald on top, and I covered his noggin with coolwhip when he passed out.

Fried turkey rawks, I refuse to eat it any other way. In fact, we just got a 22-pounder that we'll be frying up next week. I don't care much for the skin, but it makes the meat extra-juicy. <P>
And any Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie is just a wasted holiday, IMHO. <P>

I don't even eat turkey on Thanksgiving, if there were no mashed potatoes I'd probably kill somebody.

IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE GAME-AHHH!

Why Hunter, are the McMahons vegetarians or something?

[Patches]

I may or may not have a bad thanksgiving this year. It's my birthday, so I may not remember it too well :-)

[angrymissy]

i'd rather have a turducken

My fiance and his roommate made a turduken about 2 weeks ago.

It took them 5 hours to prepare, and 12 hours to cook.

I didn't eat it because i was afraid.

my mother B.B.Q's the turkey every year. Its awesome, all nice an crunchy on the outside. You gotta love crunchy skin.

[wilee]

No smashed taters?! Well, what do you expect? You leave the tri-state area and these people don't know how to make decent pizza or hard rolls and have never heard of Taylor Ham!

I covered his noggin with coolwhip when he passed out.Revenge is a dish best served cold.
