Give your guests the finger… Hand Turkey Butchery
Foodiggity’s favorite food artist, Alyson Thomas, brings us Hand Turkey Butchery in time for the imminent holiday.
Part of her ongoing Meat Sections series, Alyson proves once again that anything can be made infinitely cooler if broken down butcher-style. Even if it is mostly giblets.
Turkey on Thanksgiving — a more stubborn American tradition you will not find. The problem is that, year after year of our obligation to serve turkey, it has become excruciatingly boring and predictable. And most people seem to have arrived at the same conclusion… That turkey actually sucks. There I said it.
Our secret loathing of turkey is never more evident, than when we attempt to break tradition with variations on a theme. Usually at the hands of adventurous home cooks, big business, or herbivores — these lame attempts at creativity do nothing more than offer insight into our true feelings towards the turkey.
Today, Foodiggity explores some of these efforts that we believe are thinly veiled hate crimes against the turkey, and ill-advised cover-ups for its shortcomings.
Is table space at a premium this Thanksgiving? Tired of having to pass the yams and turkey? Perhaps it’s time to combine the meal into one horrifying concoction such as the Thanksgiving Turkey Cake.
