[Sca-cooks] Turkey

[Olwen the Odd]

Hi all.
After I sent off the last response I got lead astray into the wildes of MSN 
on some holiday foodie quiz and let further astray by another link about 
wild vs. domestic turkeys which was somewhat entertaining especially the 
part when he wrote:

"Love machines
Wild turkeys--the males--put on quite a show when they court. Their gobbling 
drives the females to distraction. Their heads are outfitted with all sorts 
of apparatus whose only function is to make lady turkeys swoon. There's the 
wattle, the beard, and the caruncle. And let's not forget the snood, a long, 
red, fleshy flap that hangs over a turkey's beak. (I can't help hearing in 
my head a turkey cover of  "Brass in Pocket" by the Pretenders:  "... gonna 
use my wattle ... gonna use my snood ...")"

Anyway, if you want to read the rest of it go here:
