I wouldn't even if I had the cash, as I could not possibly enjoy a whole turkey by myself, and few of my dining companions would even appreciate the difference (especially the children) . My dad would probably say it tasted funny :-). |

$125 for a turkey?!
Sure. If Rosengarten comes over and cooks it for me. AND does the dishes afterwards. |

How many fourteen pounders and how many eighteen pounders will they ship out? I bet there will be more smaller ones, but I cannot vouch for that. The smaller size is between ten and thirteen pounds, for $99.00 plus $20.00 shipping. For a ten pound turkey, that will be $11.90 per pound, or $119.00 for the raw bird. |
If it were free range turkey rich in omega 3 fatty acids and if I could
afford it. Otherwise forget it. |

It was very disappointing. The meat was fine but nothing special, and the skin was too tough to chew. -- Peter Aitken |

I do not go there often, but the next time I do, I will check out their turkeys and see what they charge per pound. I cannot believe it will be that high. I have ordered smoked turkey from Greenberg's in Texas, but they were not as pricey as those fancy-schmancy ones. (no pricing at this site, either) http://www.gobblegobble.com/order.php Boron |

Although I'm sure they don't want bigger ones hanging around if they have them. > The smaller size is between ten and thirteen pounds, for $99.00 plus > $20.00 shipping.

I'd consider it, just to try it once. But I won't. nancy |

But I won't. > > nancy Chances are that if I do make a turkey and if the stores do not have a promotion for a free one, I will pay something like 99 cents a pound for a small, fresh bird, which is more than enough for something as boring as a turkey. For the size I would want, about twelve to fifteen pounds, that is quite a difference in price. As a matter of fact, the whole dinner will cost no more than David Rosengarten's bird would cost. That would be for Marcel, my next door neighbor Laura and for me. A Thanksgiving Dinner with all the old reliables, bread and mushroom stuffing, mashed potatoes, baked sweet potatoes that nobody ever touches, giblet gravy, peas (there I would pay a lot, if i can get fresh ones), a mixed salad, pickles, apple pie, cranberry orange sauce, etc. and the money I save by not getting the expensive turkey will be spent on good wine. How about that? :o) I used to like Rosengarten, but this sounds a little ridiculous. I used to watch the Food Network whenever he was on. He used to love eating whatever he had cooked and always drank a nice wine or beer with it. |

And the difference really is enough to transform the bird from something ho-hum (as most turkeys seem to be) to delicious. BUT, with careful investigation you can almost certainly buy them from a local farmer where you are. And it will probably be better than this one advertised because it was raised locally, there's no shipping, and generally speaking you can personally go out to the farm and check out the environment. More to the point, it will be cheaper because it comes without any marketing hype. It's just a caring local farmer out to make a decent living. I wouldn't expect to pay more than about $30 for a 12-lb bird. That's on the high side, but not exorbitant. Thus this advertised turkey might live up to its own hype, but $100 plus shipping is simply extortionistic. -- Alex Rast (remove d., .7, not, and .NOSPAM to reply) |

At least, when you buy them at a supermarket. How come you keep kosher? Because of your mother, or would you do it in any case? Are you Orthodox or Conservative? |
What does Ostrich taste like compared to turkey or chicken?
There is an Ostrich ranch south of Phoenix that sells eggs and meat. I think I'd need a larger oven for a whole ostrich for Thanksgiving! What does a normal ostrich weigh dressed out for cooking? Thanks Bart D. Hull Tempe, Arizona Check http://www.inficad.com/~bdhull/engine.html for my Subaru Engine Conversion Check http://www.inficad.com/~bdhull/fuselage.html for Tango II I'm building.
