I have NEVER, eaten turkey too often, the DH debones it sometimes and rosts
the rolls, man its a perfect food, good hotsliced and cold sands, Lee

Maybe its an aquired taste, maybe its just me, but I really don't care for
turkey.

Little piece of US historical trivia - Benjamin Franklin proposed making the
turkey our national emblem. Thankfully someone else (don't know who and too
tired to google it) suggested the bald eagle.

Good move. Bald eagles probably don't taste as good as turkeys :-)

I have no idea how true it is, but in the play "1776", Ben was out-argued by
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.

I had my gall bladder taken out about 15 years ago - but I *do* drink
plenty of water because other things, except milk, taste vile in my
mouth. But this must be why, curious to me, my nutritionist kept
stressing low-fat foods.

That makes a butt-load of sense.

You can't digest fats, and stuff high in fat will make you ill (I am
not an expert, but eating food high in fat may even limit the digestion
of other foods you'd otherwise have no problem if eaten in conjuntion
with fatty foods. Full cream milk is no better for you, if you don't
have a gall bladder, than skim milk, and may actually be making you
lose weight as its interferring with the digestion of the good stuff
which is in the non-fat portion of whole milk))

So, you need to get your energy requirements not from fat but from
carbs and to a lesser extent, protein. And anything with some fat in it
you *do* eat (like avacado) you need to chew well, so as to give the
lipase in your mouth ans stomach chance to work.

That makes perfect sense to me, thank you for the advice. I just "found
out" today that the calcium pill I (should be but haven't lately) take
every day. It's only absorbed with other food. That it really doesn't
get absorbed by the body. The human body is a strange and puzzling
contraption and mine's stranger than most! ;

As I said, I've been neglecting, lately, taking my "supplements". The
nutritionist told me to use pre-natal vitamins, (I was already taking a
woman's vitamins and the rest of this she approved) Calcium tablets,
Omega 3 fish oil and milk thistle. But each one of those are what my
mother used to call "horse pills" because they so large - also they'll
tend to make me a bit nauseated taking them on an empty stomach. I tell
myself I'll take them after breakfast, but I've just been forgetting.
I've had such a change in lifestyle, going from a very laborious job and
obsessive cleaning to being essentially bed-ridden. When that happened
I found that my "routine" for the day is not routine any more.

I take most of my pills with my breakfast. I dump the pills on my plate
and eat a couple of bites, take a pill, eat a couple more bites, take
another pill, etc. It seems to make it less of a chore, and in many
cases makes them work better or avoids side effects. It also makes it
easier to remember to take them.

Very good idea! I'll also keep them someplace visible (as much as I hate
clutter) so I'll remember them.

Of course, it's necessary to check the instructions with each one,
because some need to be taken on an empty stomach. I once had one that
had to be taken either at least one hour before or two hours after a
meal. That was a real pain. I was really glad to stop taking those.

Incidentally, whether or not fat causes a problem after gall bladder
surgery depends on the individual. I've know people who couldn't eat any
fat at all after such surgery. OTOH, I can eat whatever I want. Of
course, I never ate a lot of fat. For instance, I cut the fat off of
meat and remove the skin from the chicken, simply because I don't like
the taste. However, I do use butter or margarine and regular salad
dressing, and I eat a fair amount of cheese and olives.

I never had a problem eating fat after my gallbladder removal - I wasn't
even aware that there *could* be a problem. I like the fat on steaks and
chicken skins - a *lot*, so I'm glad they don't cause me problems.

You've just brought back some horrible memories of turkey. My dad
knew someone who kept free range turkeys and every Xmas he would give
my dad one- one of these weighed in after plucking etc at 36 pounds!
I have nothing against free range turkey per se- a much superior bird
to the factory farmed ones but here are some grim facts

1. My dad would only eat turkey on Xmas Day and Boxing Day (cold with
chips and pickles-lovely!)
2. One of my brothers had the common sense to get married and so
either avoided Xmas dinner at our house or was only there for one meal
3. My other brother equally sensibly turned vegan
4. I was at this point the only one still living at home
5. My mum was a great believer in "waste not want not"

Result: I spent the next few months taking turkey sandwiches to work
and coming home to turkey stew, cold turkey with salad, curried
turkey, turkey pie, turkey with pasta, I really expected one day to
have my turkey dinner followed by turkey and custard!

lol, while i agree with your mom, that is why there are freezers now, I
really could eat it as often as most others would eat beef, which i am not
overly fond of, i guess because as a kid i thought we were porr, because we
would go to the market, i would ask for chicken, no too much this week,
hotdogs? no not on sale, ok...

My father raised beef and the occasional hog, hunted deer, rabbit, and
squirrell, I had NO IDea that people didn't eat roast/steak.. or chops every
night of the week, lol, Lee

We had a freezer which I often considered "accidentally" switching off
during the turkey glut as it would have then gone off- I used to watch
her Boxing Day carefully wrapping little piles of turkey in foil so
they could be frozen. My mother's philosophy was if there was turkey
available she wasn't going to buy anything else for me to eat until it
was used up as I suspect she thought I was only worth leftovers
