Turkey was certainly the tradition in our family. I can't remember every having
anything other than turkey at home. The only time I ever had anything else was
the Christmas after my MIL died and my SIL held the family Christmas dinner. Her
son's girlfriend, who is a chef, cooked cornish game hens stuffed with sausage.
It was a nice change. I pity my American neghbours having there Thanksgiving so
much later than ours. That extra month is nice for those of us who get their
fill of turkey at TG and need the extra time to develop an interest in it again.
