Worship me peasants~ come come~ this chicken has come to spread some seeds of chaos again on this fine evening *sips wine*
Actually, I usually have chicken on Thanksgiving. I didn’t realize until my friend told me this year, that it was possible to buy turkey pieces. (That feels like common sense, I know, but my brain was stuck on big turkey.) Next year I plan on trying to make myself some turkey drumsticks for dinner.
I dunno if this was in reply to me, but my husband doesn’t eat meat, and I don’t want to cook a whole turkey just for me, especially since I don’t particularly like the white meat.
I typically cook the white meat sous vide so it is always good. I would avoid the breast meat otherwise. Cooking it whole is overrated anyways. Every piece has its own specific time of doneness in baking.
Technically, fried chicken is already worshipped by the Japanese because they heard that the Americans ate turkey for Thanksgiving but due to the difficulty of getting turkey in Japan, KFC swooped in and convinced the Japanese that fried chicken is a good alternative.
It should be the Goose Day, so that people could celebrate it in its many incarnataions for the whole month: Saint Martin's Day, also called the Funeral of Saint Martin, Martinstag or Martinmas, as well as Old Halloween and Old Hallowmas Eve,[1][2] is the Funeral day of Saint Martin of Tours (else Martin le Miséricordieux) and is celebrated on 11 November each year. Feast and celebration of Saint Martin This holiday feast-day originated in France, then spread to the Low Countries, the British Isles, Galicia, Germany, Scandinavia, and Eastern Europe. Akin to “Christmas”, Martinmas (or Martinmass, Martin-mass) is the day when Martin is honoured in the Mass. Its feast and meat-permitted day celebrates the end of the agrarian year, the main annual harvest.[7] In the agricultural calendar formerly used widely in Europe, the day marked natural winter's start, and in the economic calendar, the end of autumn. The feast coincides with the end of the Octave (liturgy) of All Saints and of harvest time. Because of this, the feast is much like the American Thanksgiving: a celebration of the earth's bounty to humans. Because it also comes before a penitential season, it became a minor carnival(e) time for feasting, dancing and bonfires. Eating geese The goose became a symbol of the saint due to a legend that, when trying to avoid being ordained bishop he hid in a pen of geese whose cackling gave him away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Martin's_Day
