1. In our family, we celebrate "Thanksgiving", with an 's'

maybe that's just a Baltimore thing, like sauerkraut. (Really.) :P

edit; but isn't the Mad One on the outer fringes of Charm City? :shrug:

7. PFFT!

We have in the past fried our family turkey but only in oil....
This year, I'm going to a friends house..not sure what their traditions are.

5. Ha!! You don't cover it in anything. You season it and stick it

in the oil goofball!! :P

6. We fry ours in kudzu oil

In the middle of Times Square while going places to pick up bullish corn flakes.

8. You can't cornflake it if you brine it, unless you debrine it before you fry it,

and that's just dumb because it's the brine that makes the oil sizzle best, especially when dumped in all at once. From a great height.

10. Yea! Burnin' down the house!!!

12. I prefer to have an assistant hold it while I heave a pot of boiling fat at it

and him. The splash gives it a very light crisp, and the hours of screaming and begging for a quick death make the meal a true family event.

9. Nah, no coating that puppy!

You inject it with something like a good cajun spice concoction, then plunge that sucker over it's hiney into hot peanut oil.

Scrrrrrrumptios!

11. Best fried in peanut oil with no flakes or crumbs

and far away from a carport or any cover. Outstanding way to "cook" turkey.
