This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I'm a "Why not both?" kind of guy but turkey gets the nod by thatguy
A turkey roasting in the oven perfumes the house with anticipation in a way which ham could only dream of. Crisp turkey skin is a thing of beauty. White meat, dark meat, doesn't matter to me but a turkey gives people options ham does not. A proper turkey gravy (a biproduct, not a side) can be slathered on anything and everything on the plate imbuing it with turkey goodness. I'd also argue that stuffing is not a side here but rather a component of the Thanksgiving turkey which cannot be topped by ham.
Lastly turkey leftovers are far more versatile. Ham may have morning-after breakfast on lockdown but since trying the linked recipe, turkey carnitas has become my most anticipated leftover meal of the year.
