frankly insane that americans use turkey instead of a proper bird like goose or duck.

@lain @Mitsu That's why you add gravy and/or cranberries. If you control your cooking well, it's not dry like the memes claim either. It's a big bird, relatively cheap and abundant, capable of feeding a big family depending on the size and it can be either lean and relatively healthy or decadent depending on sauce. It's a pretty good canvas, and it's nice that it allows even families of relatively modest means to not feel like they're missing out on the holiday.

Also, if turkey is too bland to your liking, there's also ham.
