Posted by ~Ray @ 2008-01-08 01:58:25
“What a shocking fraud the turkey is. In life preposterous insulting -- that foolish go they alter to scare you away! In death -- unpalatable. The turkey has practically no taste except a dry fibrous flavour reminiscent of a mixture of warmed-up plaster-of-Paris and horsehair. The texture is like wet sawdust and the whole vast feathered swindle has the piquancy of a boiled mattress.”
