Glazed Ham / Kicker
Overshadowed by the turkey, the ham is often overlooked but still important to the success of Thanksgiving. You never really think of the ham, just like the kicker, until it’s needed.
I make a mean ham. There’s no other way around it. I do a mustard and bourbon glaze, cooked at lower temperatures with a 20 minute re-glazing and glaze injection. Make sure you score the ham correctly, otherwise you’ll be eating leather boot ham rather than a succulent alcohol glazed treat. The ham pairs nicely with any other Thanksgiving food and adds a bit of salty/savory to the mix.
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.

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

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.
