It is illegal to bring Durian on public transit on several asian countries.
I've had it a couple times. Worth it if you can stay upwind…

Yeah the smell is awful, but if you can get past that it’s not too bad, Except for the taste….And the texture…

I am doing beef ribs for Thanksgiving.

I got a 5 lb prime rib ready to go. Hell ya.

And here I thought this was going to be a thread on the monstrosites of the Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek genocides, and the general wanton destruction in the region emanating from a certain unhinged power..

I think the bird is okay, but it's just a big chicken. Overrated.

Aaaaand, were'e no longer friends. :P

I'm a turkey fiend. I'm that old guy on A Christmas Story that can't lay off the bird.

Same here.

Oven cooking a turkey is always laborious. About 25 years ago we started brining them, then cooking it on a Weber Kettle charcoal grill.
Perfection.
This year, for the first time, I'll be trying the Traeger smoker/grill. It's just my wife, daughter and myself, so we're going with a 10 pound turkey breast. Should take about 3 hours.

Best use for turkey are the day after sandwiches: bread, turkey, and cranberry sauce.

Turkey pot pie (especially with a smoked bird) is vastly superior to its chicken equivalent.

I’m a big fan of smoked turkey (Mad Max Turkey and Gravy style). But this year given the cost of birds at our local grocery store, my turkey looks a lot like an eleven pound pork butt. It’s been on the smoker since 4:00 pm yesterday. I think the left over sammies will be better than ever.

I also like turkey, and Green Chile Turkey Enchiladas the following week is AWESOME. Gonna have to try it smoked.

Given the price of birds this year, I got cornish game hens for about $0.87 each and am going to spatchcock and roast, after a dry bine. Might have to try smoking those too.

Son-in-law has been working with a smoker all summer with intention to have a smoked turkey this year, and they're hosting.
I'm looking forward to it!
