best day of the year AINEC.
I hate golf and I live somewhere I can go outside more than two months out of the year so none of what you or schu said really applies.

Well any meat is mediocre if you cook it wrong. That said, I do like having a second meat option at Thanksgiving, or, truthfully, as many food options as possible. We had a GOAT-level potluck in 2008:
-Chili
-Sausage and cheese
-Veal bratwurst
-Oysters on the half shell
-Red bean cakes with tomato chutney
-Lamb cakes with mint yogurt
-Butternut squash soup
-Turkey
-Ham
-Two kinds of stuffing
-Sweet potatoes (with pecans and sauce)
-Salad
-Green beans
-Asparagus
-Mashed potatoes
-Corn
-Unidentified potato casserole
-Bread pudding (and bourbon sauce)
-Five pecan pies
-Apple pie
-Unidentified pie
-Lemon bars
-tons of wine and liquor
Yeah, some of those are pretty out there, but we had more than enough of the Thanksgiving staples. It was a pretty diverse crew (including my friend's dad in a GOAT weekend performance that included being drunk the whole time and picking up a 19-year-old on the flight from New York to Houston).
