Let it be known that I hate turkey sandwiches. Don't be fooled by the fact that they are my main form of sustenance, I really hate them, and if it weren't for the Pabst tall boy that accompanied each meal, I probably wouldn't be able to stomach them. I am, however, becoming a connossieur of cheap turkey slices. Initially, I went for the 89 cent Fred Meyer turkey, which came in a loaf. As I opened it some of its congealed turkey juice dripped on my foot, and if I recall correctly, I threw up a little in my mouth. Then, reluctant to be so high class as to actually go to the deli that is thirty feet from the lunch meat aisle, I went for the Healthy Choice turkey. It was better, but not worth the extra two dollars. Then the other day I saw a variety pack for a buck thirty. I thought "holy shit! Variety! I could use some variety in my turkey sandwiches." Unfortunately, I failed to read past that and realize that Foster Farms defines variety as: "(adj.): deviations from nature in the attempt to make a previously healthy meat less so, yet compensating for the additional 50% of fat and calories by ensuring that only 25% of the meat will actually grace the digestive tract, while the rest is regurgitated, discarded, or snubbed by the cat." I currently have a ziplock full of Turkey Ham, Turkey Salami, Turkey Bologna, and Turkey Pastrami and I need ideas on how to get rid of it since the cat won't touch it. So after that unpleasant learning experience, I think I've found the solution: Dagwood brand turkey. It's got a picture of Dagwood from the Blondie comic strip on it, so it has to be good. I'm not sure what sort of formal authority Dagwood has, but I vaguely recall him spending more than a little time on the couch, and I imagine that was the result of his turkey sandwiches, so thanks, Dagwood, for making this PBR not taste like rancid bologna.

You can always try to plant it to see if you can grow a turkey tree.
