“Turkey Sandwich, Turducken, Turkey Burgers, Turkey Legs at Ren Fairs, Turkey BACON.”

these might be the lamest reasons to vote for something i’ve ever heard. i remember the 2004 presidential election, too, so i’m not inexperienced.

seriously, duck is going to lose to possibly the most bland bird to set foot on a table?

pffttt…. i’m going to sleep now. ugh.

Turkey is not so ubiquitous in Australia. Some have it for traditional Christmas dinner, but otherwise it is not common at all. Duck is probably more common due to the popularity of asian dishes containing duck. Also European inspired duck dishes appear in fancy restaurants. Every time I eat turkey i think it’s kind of like chicken, but not as nice.

How can anyone completely hate turkey? I don’t eat it it all of the time, so maybe that’s why I’m not sick of it.

Duck? Never have liked it. Not that I get to try it often, but it’s never done a thing for me. I have good and bad. The bad being very greasy. I would say the best being made by an avid hunter I know, who knows how to cook wild game really well.

count me among the turkey- haters. So many delicious ways to make duck, so many boring ways to make turkey. sliced deli turkey is fine for a sandwich when you really don’t feel like challenging yourself, but roast turkey? is there a more boring protein out there?

Turkey, so dull I can only tolerate it once a year. Nostalgia is not enough to get my vote.

Duck, your all dark meat is something to enjoy in many different ways (medium rare breast, confit legs, Asian-style crispy skin).

Don’t you think it odd in a turkey vs duck face-off that turducken is mentioned as a reason to vote turkey?

I am over turkey also. Turkey is everywhere, and so boring. I prefer not to eat that dry, bland bird anytime outside of thankgiving.

Duck FTW! Go to france and try some duck confit; go to china and try some REAL peking duck. Save some duck fat while you’re at it and come home and roast your veggies in it. Then tell me you’d actually vote for turkey. You won’t.

I am so effing SICK of turkey, at least the overfed, overbred American kind. Its ‘versatility’ has made it the tofu of meat, finding its way into dishes it has no business being in. Turkey only enters this house on major holidays, and that’s under protest.
