And it's not just an American thing. In Britain it's traditional to eat a turkey on Christmas day. We don't have any equivalent of thanksgiving though.

Well I see turkey as a cheap filler. It's probably the most tasteless and cheapest meat available. It's probably nice for sandwiches with bacon, molten cheese and some sauce to give it flavor. Indeed just like ham or bologna. Not really something to base a dinner on. Let alone serving a whole huge bird. I prefer quality over quantity.
In the Netherlands we had turkey dinners for christmas for a while too. Luckily it was a passing fad. We do seem to be stuck with the Coca Cola version of Sinterklaas though.
Anyway, the point was showing that besides people watching celebrities (or coming out to see the queen on her birthday) there are more silly traditions like baking a whole turkey on specific dates.

Hmm. I suspect you've never had a good turkey.

I was just thinking that Dutch turkeys must be different. Maybe the word is pointing to something else over there?
Ironically, they wander around my yard in groups of 25, and sometimes I have to go shoo them away so the kids can use the yard.

It's funny, I'm not a huge fan of turkey either...

Pinballass is on my ignore list for some time, but regretfully I still see his postings....
Anyway, this wasn't meant as a political or turkey thread.
Queen's day is very hard to explain to foreigners.
