Simon and Garfunkel your turkey!

Filed under: Food + Libations, Music + Entertainment



Sometimes, just sometimes, it's possible to theme your food to music.

Last year, my friend and I decided to traverse the seas of brine and place the 20+ pound turkey in a big vat of brine overnight. The question was: what flavors should we use? Once we started tossing out ideas, it all became abundantly clear -- Scarborough Fair turkey. Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. It's perfect for brining, and it's also quite tasty for other turkey flavorings -- under-the-skin butter rubs, stuffing, sauce/gravy.

I used to hate this tune -- singing it every chorus class in middle school made me want to scream. But now? It's like they were prepping me for a tasty future. Furthermore, for a meal that is notorious for making people lethargic and sleepy, what's better than mellow tunes for the taste buds?
