These fried turkeys are also the cause of many fires, so be careful. It's the best way to cook turkey IMO.

Yes, it's a very dangerous way of preparing a turkey. I witnessed the whole preparation and frying. It was done outside, in a special fryer, on a cool Thanksgiving Day. The whole family almost bit their tongues off chowing it down, whereas the typical, roasted turkey "felt very lonely" on the platter...

P.S. I just noticed that Zgubiony got some special tools in his avtar. Do you wish, you could use them on some posters here, sometimes? :)

Yeah. My gf just tried this for the first time last week. She loves smores :) I asked about marshmallows in PL and she said they eat them, but no one ever roasts them. How can you not think of that? Good call on that one Eurola

I've seen it on a few travel programs, I don't think I would fit in as a participant, but it would be fascinating to observe...
