Uh dude. Deep Frying your turkey is not an African-American thing. It's a southern thing. My family in Louisiana has been doing it for years. It takes significantly less time to deep fry a turkey and honestly... it does taste better.
I know. I was all about tradition and the oven for many many years. Then I had it... and it was amazing fried.
I've also had a turducken. Fried turkey is the way to go.
My co-workers and I are all American. We are using the schools kitchen to crank out a T-Day dinner of which God would have is blueberries in a knot for. |
Oh yes, I am from Saint Louis, Missouri and it is a black thing, but they are very southern cultured in Saint Louis. They also do turducken where they stuff a duck inside the turkey.
You're right, it is very good stuff. I only knew since most everyone I lived around and worked with were Afro-American in Saint Louis. When I went to the rural Missouri country side to white friends, they all baked it and never heard of frying it and doing turducken like the city folks did. I am thinking the Afro-American St. Louisans are southern while the white people are northern which explains why I found turkey frying to be a black peoples thing as the norther white people like where I am from all bake the turkey. Saint Louis has a mix of norther and souther culture due to it's geographical location.
Any turkey and ducks available in Korean stores or markets??? |

Just realised that you're talking about Thanksgiving (does not compute) Turkey Day.

Travel broadens some people's horizons. For others, it just offers the opportunity to display their ignorance. |

Canadian Thanksgiving Day is the same day as Columbus Day in America.
Although in the US we dont celebrate Columbus Day anymore because he was evil and harshed the Indians.
We now celebrate MLK's birthday instead. |

Costco won't always have them. They seem to be inconsistent with stock, every year. Best to call the different lcoations to see who has them and/or when. Then get one of the Costco delivery upstarts to deliver it.
Or get your turkey from another place:

Gecko's Terrace in Itaewon is having a Thanksgiving Day buffet for 35,000 won per person including one drink.
I'd think other places are doing the same. |
