Why does it have to be this way?

Old fashioneds are my drink of choice year round. Also good peaty scotch, neat. Love a quality gin gimlet.

Otherwise I like cheap lite beer or hard seltzers.

All of them go better with beef and pork over turkey…

Hard seltzer is an oxymoron.
Seltzer is a hangover cure.

I submit this as my answer as well

literally 1000x better than turkey...

Is this a whole hog?
Any whole animal gets a pass on my thanksgiving dinner purity scale.
If you cook it in the ground as a tip of that hat to the native Americans that’s even better.

But is it cultural appropriation then? Seem like a narrow line these days

I feel attacked.

All of it, from the turkey to the spuds to the stuffing to the green bean casserole - all of it - are just transportation vessels for the gravy.



Contemporary scientific knowledge tells us that the primordial soup from which life on earth began was essentially gravy.

I could point you to half a dozen threads going right now that prove otherwise.

Absolutely. Actually just ate this like 30 min ago.

What’s the drink of choice for hunttalkers on thanksgiving ? Turkey is edible if washed down by an icy cold Miller lite

Cold smoke is the correct answer

Okay, this is idiot proof.
Put the turkey in an oven bag.

You turkey leg humpers are outside your damn minds! The amount of mental gymnastics....the sides, the gravy, the greens, blah blah blah. Just slap down a slice of this the size of my plate, a dollop of grandmas homemade horseradish, slap my ass and send me on my way with a smile. Green bean casserole. HA I say! HA!

I'm not embarrassed at all to say this.

I've consumed 2 Costco pumpkin pies and 3 cans of whip cream already this fall..... and that was before November. #dadbodlegit

Everyone enjoy thanksgiving, eat and drink whatever. It’s the one day where you get to torture your woke family members make the most of it

Unpopular opinion forthcoming: gravy is vastly overrated. I haven’t had it in at least twenty years and I’ll likely go the rest of my life never having it again.

That’s a good ratio.
