I was in Harry & David's yesterday and the first thing I spotted when I
walked in the door was this:

Surely everyone needs a chocolate turkey centerpiece which can be eaten as
'dessert'? It was actually kind of cute, but I can't see spending $70 on 2
lbs. 10 oz. of chocolate, regardless of the shape.

Yes, that's a rediculous price to pay, but it is very cute. We don't do
anything very original, but almost always have a "spilling" cornucopia
running almost the length of the center of the table, made up of Indian
corn, small gourds, tiny pumpkins, a variety of nuts in the shell, and
various dried/glaceéd fruits. It's festive enough for us.

Who needs a chocolate turkey when you can make turkey mole for a
fraction of the price? I vote that turkey mole should be a new
Thanksgiving trend, replacing brined or deep-fried bird.

And much more 'traditional'! I love cornucopias.

A centerpiece is a moot point.....takes up too much room that food could be
plopped into......if they can't eat it in 2.5 seconds flat, my kids aren't
interested.

Point taken. We don't have kids, nor do we entertain any. We seldom have
dishes of food on the table, apart from condiments. The food is on the
sideboard.

Not only do your kids have their taste in their feral little asses they also
have no manners... wonder who trained them to have no couth... perhaps they can
be retrained, with bits of raw fish your pups can even be trained to balance a
ball on their nose.

Um, the table centerpiece is supposed to be removed, permanently, just prior to
serving the main course.... may be returned only after the last guest
departs... replacing it sooner indicates get yer butts outta my house, now!
It's what you do when some clod hangs on like they have no home to go to... if
they still don't get the hint excuse yourself and return in your PJs... of
course a well stacked dish can become the centerpiece in my bed, but she still
hasta leave in the morning.

Last year I bought a 3 lb chocolate turkey centerpiece for my mother
for $18 at Costco. It was surprizingly good! Yesterday I went back
and bought two (one dark, one milk). They had some sort of white wash
finish on it that doesn't do much for the visual appeal, but OTOH,
shouldn't interfere with the taste.
