We just had a stuffed pork tenderloin and it was fantastic. Tomorrow we
are going to my brother's for a turkey dinner.-a I made an apple pie to
take and my wife is making a gluten free apple crisp for herself and our son.
SiL is leaving in a few days for NYC for a girls' weekend with her
daughter and granddaughter. They live in southern California. It will be
-anice chance for them to see NYC, and a much shorter and cheaper flight for SIL who usually has to go to California to visit her grandchildren.

Not a fan of turkey? I'm not, although I'll eat it when I go to
someone's house for dinner and they serve it.

My schedule was screwed up by 6 hours in the ER yesterday,
followed by the rare planetary configuration that allows
baseball playoffs, hockey season openers, and US football
pretty much the whole Sunday.

I can imagine that native Americans find Columbus Day as offensive as Aboriginals find Australia Day. Australia Day celebrates the arrival
of the first Anglo, Captain Cook, as if Australia didn't exist before
that day.

is the subject of a popular myth that Benjamin Franklin wanted it to be. >Franklin did write that the turkey was a more "respectable" and
"courageous" bird than the bald eagle, but this was a satirical comment
in a letter, not a formal proposal for the national symbol. The bald
eagle has been the official national bird since 1782

No, the turkey. I guess bald eagles aren't edible. Or hard to catch.
There's plenty of wild turkeys here, there's even a hunting

Even tame turkey dark meat is fairly strong tasting. The wild ones are

Last year I did encounter two on the bike trails and we had
a stare down, sorta. They were about 50 feet off the path,
but I kept a steady pedaling pace as I wanted nothing to do
with them.
Eagles are birds of prey as are owls, hawks, buzzards, and
condors. They are not consumed.

Because the're there.
Years ago, someone got caught for killing and eating a bald eagle. They asked him what it tasted like, and he said, chicken. I don't believe it, Bald eagles mostly eat fish, and sometimes even carrion. I bet they
taste pretty bad.

Remember when Gary posted, I /think/ it was Gary, said his g/f
at the time wanted him to taste the eggs from the chickens her
parents had. They fed the chickens some sort of fish meal and
he said the eggs were just awful which made her mad. The eggs
had a definite fish taste. So, if an eagle mainly consumes fish
it stands to reason it's flesh would taste fishy.

A shotgun with #2 shot will take care of both. It's eagle illegal and
one needs a permit for turkeys, where they live. Gotta protect the
turkey lobby.

It may not be the official national bird, but when you're all feeling patriotic, you all start eating tortured factory turkeys and singing
your national anthem.

had a definite fish taste. So, if an eagle mainly consumes fish

I bought some omega3 eggs for baking cakes etc and ended up with

They used to get in each other's way too and then go to war to take
their land. I live in the Niagara Peninsula which about 500 years ago
was the home of the Neutral Indians. Around the time of the arrival of >European settlers on the east coast the Iroquois moved up from the
American northeast and wiped out them and forced the Hurons to flee to
the west.
So if the Martians come and land in Canada, they're entitled to the
land because white Canadians only got their hands on it after killing
the natives?

When you say 'native bird' are you talking about our national

No, the turkey. I guess bald eagles aren't edible. Or hard to catch.
There's plenty of wild turkeys here, there's even a hunting
season for them. They even have their own liquor in bottles.
Last year I did encounter two on the bike trails and we had
a stare down, sorta. They were about 50 feet off the path,
but I kept a steady pedaling pace as I wanted nothing to do
with them.
Eagles are birds of prey as are owls, hawks, buzzards, and
condors. They are not consumed.

Well, that wasn't the day the first white man set foot on our shores. Columbus never reached the North American continent. He set foot
on an island in the Bahamas on October 12, 1492.
We're 10 days off, anyhow, because Columbus used the Julian calendar.

It's not like it was all love and kisses with the native people.a Cortez
and a small band of conquistadors were able to topple the Aztec empire because they led a much larger army of the local people who had been so violently oppressed by them.a I am sure that most are aware of the Aztec practice of sacrificing young men and women. They weren't their own
people who were having their hearts ripped out. They were the children
of the people under Aztec rule were were the tribute they were forced to
pay to the Aztec. Native territory boundaries were fluid and were only
in place as long as they could keep the other tribes out.

What do you think Europeans were using to wipe their butts in 1492?
It sure wasn't Northern or Charmin toilet paper.There used to be a brand of toilet paper in Australia called "Dawn".

Nobody's asking you to start living the way they did. But to celebrate

It probably could have been, but the Africans who were capturing their
own people and selling them into slavery were making too much money off
the slave trade.

The basic recipe for liver & onions
is just liver & onions. Probably
veg oil too because moose is lean.

It is ironic that so many people were upset about colonization and
wanted independence from the British but now they are flocking to the
UK. At the same time there are people who come to the US and Canada and
crap on the English (and French) for colonization and stealing native
land as if the European settlers are doing anything different from what
they are doing here themselves.

I think the problem with immigrants is felt more in the same lower socio-economic circles as where they reside. Most RFC'ers, and most politicians, may not see many immigrants, but the issues exist lower
on the social ladder.

The Arabs captured many Africans and used them as slaves and also
sold them to the white man. But that is pretty much swept under
the rug when asking for reparations. Slavery in Africa is still
an ongoing thing in 2025; bought, sold, and inherited.

Now it is, good or bad, the DEI system that is currently under attack. Should it be?-a Do they deserve a break?-a Should the government mandate
or block it in businesses?
Arguments can be made but, look at the past.-a Many of those people have been barred from better education and opportunities so it will take a
long time for them to catch up.
