I'm thawing out a frozen turkey for Thankgiving in the fridge and I
(randomly) thought to google one of the phrases on the wrapping:
"defrost bird in bag"
Google didn't find it. I'm amazed. I'm also going to post this
phrase to Usenet just for chuckles. I think it should be "thaw
bird in bag" instead of "defrost ..." but whatever.

Does anyone actually read the Usenet group "misc.misc"?

Yes.

Why are you defrosting this bird so early?

We in the US are not the only ones who have a day of Thanksgiving; our
Canadian friends celebrate their day of thanksgiving the Second Monday of
October.

Happy Thanksgiving Canada.

Eh? Early? It's late according to my colander. But many people have a
firm belief that a Turkey is not just for Thanksgiving, it's for life,
or death, depending on your point of view.

Right. No one will survive without a turkey.

LOL he consulted his colander. I call that a 'calendar'. I use a colander
to drain washed or cooked vegetables, not to determine what day it is. And
turkeys are not a matter of life or death!

It is to the turkey...

Fastest way to defrost a bird AFAIK is under running water.
In a colander or calander or whatever.

That's a horrid waste of water. Defrost it in a container of water,
such as a cooler.

Or in your sink if it's deep enough. Simple matter to turn the bird, too.
Frozen turkeys don't exactly thaw that fast. I still don't see where having
a turkey is a matter of life and death (except, as Alan points out, to the
turkey).

In the U.S. turkey is inexpensive but it's generally also a big bird. I
don't have room for even a small 9 lb. turkey given my refrigerator space.
A turkey breast is dry and dull unless you want injected with brine thing.
It's not a matter of life and death to have a turkey. Or even a chicken.
Or even a cornish hen.

I deleted all the cross-postings from the replies to the OP since I didn't
see what the OP posted except what 'l not -l' replied to and subsequent
replies. I have no idea what misc.misc, talk.bizarre and triangle.bizarre
has to do with turkeys and rec.food.cooking. Yet another influx of assinine
crossposters (not you, lynn!)
