Ham vs Turkey

Turkey is crap meat. It's dry no matter what. People who say it isn't are deluded. I'll never cook a turkey again if I can help it.

We cook goose at Christmas. Sometimes duck, but goose is better. Ham is good, too.

Ham hands down. Lol

Learn to cook.

We brined one and smoked it for Thanksgiving. Was juicy as fuck.

Neither? I’m doing a Mississippi roast this year.

Smoked turkey > Honey glazed ham > All other forms of meat. I have a special place in my heart for smoked game hens that a friends dad would make and give out as Christmas gifts to all us kids.

I know how to cook. I've brined, smoked, done every kind of turkey. Know what's better? Literally everything.

Your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad for having it.

Turkey with cranberry's and gravy is some of the best shit on earth.

That said, Turkey is for Thanksgiving, Christmas gets a Ham. This is known.

Both?

Good point, it's hard to judge the meats alone.

Turkey you're going to have gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, etc. Ham you have baked beans. Mmmmmm.

We get gifted a Greenberg every year, but that’s out because of the fire this year. Ham it is.

No. Turkey NEEDS cranberry and gravy in order to not taste like crap. Cook a superior bird. One that can stand on its own.

So you don't season your ham? Or do anything to it?

Not what I said, and not a smart reply. Of course I season my ham. But, once it's cooked, I take a piece of ham by itself, no other trimmings, and eat it and think, "damn, that's delicious." You can't do the same with turkey. Pick up a piece of turkey, put it in your mouth, and you think, "that would be better with cranberry sauce."

I would have chosen both as my family always has both at Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is always a big affair and we send some of the leftovers to those that couldn't make it(especially this year). I chose turkey though because I have ham often during the year. Turkey that is brined and deep fried or smoked is such a treat. It can be fucked up but hasn't been around here in years.
