Wild turkeys are making a huge comeback around here. They
were extremely rare a few years ago. Now they’re everywhere. To me, they’re not pleasant to look at and I
can’t imagine eating one. They look really old. I’m sure the pilgrims were
hungry when they got off The Mayflower, and I appreciate what Squanto did and
all at that first Thanksgiving. I really do. But, looking at these birds, I
gotta think that the corn and the squash and the beets (did the Native Americans
have beets?),and maybe the sweet potatoes were better than that old wild turkey.
Oh, and the rolls. I forgot about the rolls. And those birds were so skinny there
was probably hardly any stuffing. Do you think Squanto had cranberries?
Heck, I might even eat kale before I’d eat that old wild
turkey.
