From the blue waters, to the green of ramps, though the red of finger chiles, we got you though most of the spectrum. Not infrared though, that would be weird.

Howdy Meatketeers, the main social media goblin is taking a short winter's nap, so we may be a little quieter than usual. Now, go forth and meat!

Brought home a couple turkey legs last week and cured them. Confitted them Friday. Today, I made turkey cassoulet and turkey rillettes. #DayOffCookin

We're going to try again tomorrow, folks. We have said the words, and carved the runes, and offered the proper sacrifices to The Dark Gods of Commercial Refrigeration, and should be up and running by noon, Sun. Say nice things to your Refrigerator Dryads, y'all. They work hard.

We may or may not be open today, Meatketeers. We're experiencing technical difficulties. Watch this space and I'll keep everybody posted if we managed to cobble everything back together.

having exactly (1) day out of the year where every amateur chef in America attempts to cook a giant bird and not fuck it up is, honestly, a wonderful and hilarious tradition

Samuel Beckett wrote of Joyce's Finnegan's Wake, something very like, "if you do not like it, you are not pure enough to receive it." I've listened to folks dissing turkey all month. What tedium, as Sam B would say. It's delicious. Not trying to drag anyone at all, but you guys?

The turkey is indigenous to the Americas, and is An Abomination Unto Nuggan. I'm more of an Omnian, but quite agree, today, with Nuggan despite his wee mustache. (This joke has been written entirely in pTerry, aka, Terry Pratchett, and, if you don't get it, I'm sorry. Tired.) #TurkeyFacts

Oh my lord n' butter was today a lot. But I got to debone a duck AND teach others how AND bare my teeth at someone asking me to do a math midway through. Stupid math-er! Can't talk. Stabbin'.

Though native to The Americas, turkeys are huge fans of New Nordic Cuisine. Like, seriously, you so much as accidentally forage a wild lingonberry, BOOM, turkeys everywhere. #TurkeyFacts

Lamb neck from Chapel Ford Farm, removed from the bone, seasoned with garum salt and fennel pollen, and retied on the bone with rosemary as a functional garnish. I got just the one.

I am having a really good time chatting with customers and blaring Sleater-Kinsey's _Call the Doctor_. I rarely have even a fraction this fun in the weeks leading up to The Big 'Uns, so I'm super grateful to y'all. Does Crooked Beat have Call the Doctor on vinyl?

This is both genuinely awesome, and significantly more wholesome than the food truck I wanted as a (goth) teen. It was called Vlad's, and it served fried quail. On skewers.

I apparently cooked (and supposedly ate) this at some point this week. Your friendly neighborhood meat mongers are tiiiired, y'all. I'm so damn glad Thanksgiving is almost over and there are no more holidays to endure until next year. We really dodged a bullet, eh?

Just made small batches of Fresh Kielbasa and Cranberry Sage Sausage to bolster our dwindling sausage supplies. There's also 1lb packs of frozen, uncased, regular sage sausage in the freezer. Everything not already ordered is first come, first served.

In the movie Jaws, the understudy for the eponymous, robotic Great White Shark was a 16lb turkey named Lindzee who spent much of her downtime listening to The Runaways in her trailer, and had to be rescued twice due to her insistence on wearing combat boots. #TurkeyFacts

16:30 EST tomorrow, 11/20/24, Meatketeers. Then, I start singing that lovely song from Frozen. You know the one: 🎶Tell them 'no' Tell them 'no'! We can't take one damn more!🎵 (There is, of course, a dance that goes with this, but it just looks like a stoned meerkat on an electric fence.)

A turkey's venom sacs can inflate to the size of a pomelo. A single turkey would have had enough venom to have laid Constantinople low in the 13th Century, if the wicked beasts hadn't been marooned in the Americas. #TurkeyFacts
