Corn / Punter
The punter serves his purpose and you really only notice it when it is bad. The punter is often a barometer for the team, and bad corn usually signals bad food.
Whether you like it on the cob, sweet corn or as cornbread, corn is the cogs in the wheel. Making a perfect bite of mashed potatoes, gravy, turkey and corn is the Real McCoy. Corn is the guy in the background doing all the small things that brings everything else together, like a bassist. It doesn’t get a ton of credit, but it doesn’t really want the credit, either.
I’m running a goal line offense this year with a stacked O-Line.
If stuffing is the fullback then I’m running a Navy style offense because I can’t get enough of that stuff.
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
Cornbread is my Shane Lechler of Punter corn.
Turkey is the 40 year old QB that is a legend and you have to respect him, but there are better players in the league/kitchen.
He’s a future HoFer
Are you comparing Turkey to all other foods, or all other meats?
Comparing it to all other foods on Thanksgiving. There is no Thanksgiving without turkey but give me stuffing and mashed potatoes in the 1 and 2 spot.
Ok, I thought you were suggesting that you would rather eat ham like a fucking pagan.
I’ve always been partial to a salted ham rather than a glazed ham, family tradition. But if you don’t know you need to soak a salted ham before cooking it… it can go oh so wrong.
What kind of animal doesn’t like stuffing
Turkeys
Hey, the Backyard Brawl is coming back……in 7 years.
Sounds like you have the Morten Andersen of hams. My mouth is watering, can’t wait for Thursday.
Sorry, turkey is a mediocre meal at best. I’ve always said, if an entire holiday is centered on a meal, they shoulda picked a better one like a pork shoulder or ribeyes or a good lasagna or something.
You should invent a time machine and tell the pilgrims.
Not sure if I’m the only one, but my family always has baked ziti or lasagna to go with the traditional Thanksgiving meals. Might be weird, but I love having it.
Sounds like you’re a member of the Soprano Family
