[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So many hate Thanksgiving and turkey. For theove of god, brine your turkey people. Follow the NYT's brining recipe to a T. I am absolutely salavating at the throught of a nice, very tasteful and not dry turkey using that brine recipe and topped with gravy. Soooooooooo good.[/quote]

[quote]Tried it. Still would rather have any other type of meat.[/quote]

Yes thank you. I get so sick of the people who constantly claim if you don't like Thanksgiving food its only because it wasn't cooked correctly. Sorry but I have had it made by incredible chefs and its still not a great meal. Trust me no one is drooling over your dry brine or wet brine or whichever other method you are convinced makes it yummy. Its blah. Edible but not worth the effort and made because you are supposed to have on Thanksgiving.  This is why no one ever wants it any other day than Thanksgiving. [/quote]

Have you tried it fried? I hate thanksgiving food (I am not even from this country) and last year I finally went ahead and bought a huge indoor electric fryer just to make the turkey. For the first time it was actually good and it was gone within 24hrs...

And prior to that I had tried the fancy turkeys from WS, the NYT brine, the WS dry brine, etc etc etc.

Personally, I like the dishes that I make but you are absolutely right that there is nothing special about them. I routinely make Ina Garten's Brussel sprouts, or sautéed green beans with sliced almonds. And my mashed potato is amazing, but what is special about mashed potatoes?

I draw the line at making casseroles though... or anything with marshmallows for a meal.

The only thing I like about TK is the actual process of cooking, spending time with my family, drinking and stressing over. The actual meal, there is nothing remarkable about it - at all.[/quote]
