A friend of mine was talking about the menu for their Thanksgiving dinner. He said they are buying a turkey, at least 20 pounds and bigger if they can find one. I asked if he has ever had anything else besides turkey for Thanksgiving and he looked shocked.
The truth is that a lot of people have other foods for their Thanksgiving feasts. In San Francisco, the preferred main course is fresh caught Dungeness crab. In New York, I was served quail when dining at a good friend’s family estate.
So, don’t assume that everyone eats turkey.
