Turkey Lurkey - NO, it's Tofurkey

[Guest guest]

Okay... you guys jinxed it... I mentioned my upcoming vegetarian

Thanksgiving dinner... well, today the hostess (a very lovely women from

England)

sent me a copy of the menu. OH MY GOD!!!! Tofurkey is there! You have me

shaking now!

I just don't know if I can take something with such a stupid name

seriously, I mean, come on now... how embarrassing for the soybeans!

I believe this meal with be quite the culinary experience (Tofurkey

excepted). Her menu reads like a fine restaurant bill of fare:

Selection of Nuts

Red Pepper Soup with Granary Rolls

Green Salad with Fresh Parmesan

Tofurkey and Gravy (what the hell is that doing there!)

Aubergine Slices and Cranberry Sauce

Sprouts

Squash Medley

English Roast Potatoes

Gratin Dauphines

Apricot Toffee Pudding

Chocolate Terrine

Selection of Cheeses

Okay, I had to ask just what the heck " Aubergine " was...apparently it is

eggplant that is breaded, cheesed, fried, etc... basically made unhealthy!

I also had to look up what a Chocolate Terrine is too. WOW... can you say

basically triple layer FUDGE and perhaps a bit of rum soaked cake along with it.

It's a good think I'm not a RNYer or I'd be on the floor for sure.

I'm going to bring the " Granary Rolls " -- ummm.. I just call them honey

wheat.. but they are homemade (yep, from scratch, kneading and all). I also

told

her I would bring some deviled eggs... LOL.. I had to explain to her what they

were!
