In a show of Carnivorous Solidarity, I will as well. (I'm surrounded by vegans, vergetarians, and flexitarians out here in Seattle. We meat-eaters must STICK. TOGETHER.)

I'm in the unfortunate position, because of work obligations and family gymnastics, of having three consecutive Thanksgiving dinners from Wednesday through Friday. I may have to become a vegan for a month just to get all the tryptophan out of my system.

I don't understand why people who don't eat meat eat things that supposed to resemble meat.

I'd bring my own turkey! Any vegetarian that complains gets beat with a drumstick.

I'm in agreeance with scott e d. Stop by your local Kroger (or eqivilent large chain grocery) and pick up a little bird for the carnivore.

Instead of the traditional bread stuffing, go with bacon stiffing. two dead animals in one meal. Yeah.

"There is room for all of God's Creatures...right next to the mashed potatoes and gravy."

I once made the mistake of agreeing to do Thanksgiving when I was eating vegetarin and made the now famous Tofurky. I'll never forget the look of disdain on my Dad's face when he said, "Well what the fuck is THAT?!?" Funny, I was never asked to have holiday dinners at my house again.

Eek! Nice typo.

My parents are vegan, but luckily my mom always makes turkey with all the trimmings for Thanksgiving. I guess the carnivores outnumber the vegans in our family. Thankfully!

These damn vegetarians and vegans! They need to be stopped, y'all!

I say your friend should take the advice of other commenters and bring his own meat. If they veggies don't like it, tough stuffing!

Poor Dan. I think he should show up with a big ol' turkey drumstick and gnaw on it as though he's back in Medieval times.

my favourite meat substitute is "facon"

Even better than the bacon stuffing is a "Turducken" - a chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey. Now if only there was a goose, it could be like the aftermath of the Chicken Little story.

You people are just so wrong.......

i agree with scott e d. why do vegetarians/vegans eat the fake stuff? i just don't get it. and don't piss in the wind and tell me its raining. that stuff tastes like the real deal holyfield about as much as a purple toy with batteries feels like well...I think you get the picture.

pfft.

i can't imagine anything more sad than thanksgiving without turkey. i hope someone is saving leftovers for this poor guy and that the BF appreciates the sacrifice. Tofurkey... i'm speechless. Athiests.

Martha did a fabulous Turducken on yesterdays show. Looked yummy. They even basted the veggies in meat fat from the duck!

UPDATE! I won! Thx to the good thoughts of FAF, and the good sense of my hot BF, we are having Turkey! Eddie, my BF, totally gets how important the turkey tradition is, esp since this is my favorite holiday. There will be several turkey eaters, we hear, at this meal.

Whomever mentioned bacon stuffing is my new best friend, BTW. Love me some bacon.

Thx to everyone for your good wishes. Oh, and don't forget to grab a gay boy and go dancing Wed. night. It is one of the biggest club nights of the year, people.

Very thankful,
Stan/Dan
