Know Who You're Eating

There's nothing like a wall of denuded turkeys to herald the onslaught of the year-end holidays. A local butcher leaves the heads on the birds "so you know who you're eating." Since he sells his stock of gallinaceous birds by weight, his real motive is of course to make more money. Still, it's a nice thought. And, as with everything else associated with the season, it's the thought that counts.
