• Let us, rather, gather facts, all the facts, regardless of aesthetic appeal or theoretical social worth, and spread those facts before us not as the soothsayer spreads the innards of a turkey but as a newspaper spreads its columns. Let us be journalists, then. And like all good journalists, we shall present our facts in an order that will satisfy the famous five W's: wow, whoopee, wahoo, why-not and whew.

• This is my breakfast: Two poached eggs, turkey bacon, and a half avocado. The yolks in a poached egg are alkalizing. Avocados are a great source of fat and vitamin E; great for your skin. Its super light and not too heavy. Sometimes I like a little sweet as well, so I have a cup of plain yogurt with blueberries.

• What is a turducken? An exclusive culinary creation available by special order from some little Cajun town down south. Entirely deboned, a turducken consists of a turkey, stuffed with duck, stuffed with a chicken, like an edible Russian nesting doll. Some were stuffed with alligator, crap, shrimp; my favorite was the traditional cornbread variety.

• When Turkey buys Iranian oil, we pay for it in Turkish lira... However, it is not possible for Iran to take that money as dollars into its own country due to international restrictions, the U.S.A.s sanctions. Therefore, when Iran cannot take this money back as currency, they withdraw Turkish lira and buy gold from our market.

• Y así, Thanksgiving. Es la fiesta más asombrosa. Piénsalo: es un milagro que una vez al año tantos millones de estadounidenses se sienten a comer exactamente lo mismo que los demás, exactamente lo mismo que comieron cuando crecían y exactamente lo mismo que comieron un año antes. El pavo. Los boniatos. El relleno. El pastel de calabaza. ¿Hay algo más en lo que todos podamos estar tan vehementemente de acuerdo? Yo creo que no.

• Para llegar a la Tierra desde el borde del sistema solar, dependiendo de la época del año y de la posición de los planetas, hay que pasar al menos por Polonia, Prusia y Turquía, y probablemente te sellarían el pasaporte algunas de las otras grandes potencias. Luego, a medida que te acercas al mundo, llegas a un punto, en el continuamente cambiante espacio de carruajes sobre los países, en el que esta complejidad tiene que ceder o fracasar. Y así llegas a la dichosa lubricación del territorio orbital neutral.

• There is really a je ne sais quoi about turkey cooking - the air of festivity, the family squabbles, the constant basting - that does not apply to the turkey breast, which is, really, a convenience of food... A turkey without seasonal angst is like a baseball game without a national anthem, a winter without snow, a birthday party without candles.
