Only In Seattle....

SEATTLE (AP) — As Thanksgiving approaches, Tofurkys in Seattle can breathe easy, even if real turkeys can't.

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray pardoned a soybean-based roast Friday, The Seattle Times reported this week (http://bit.ly/1HEA5Uu ).

Spokesman Jason Kelly says Murray posed with the tofu turkey at City Hall to draw attention to hunger in the community. It will be donated to Rainier Valley Food Bank.

Kelly acknowledged that Seattle's reputation in the rest of the country is "a little bit 'granola'" and that Murray was poking fun at himself.

Communications director Jeff Reading said Tuesday that the mayor has no plan to pardon any of Seattle's urban turkeys "either the literal or figurative variety."

The maker of Tofurky, Turtle Island Foods, is based in Hood River, Oregon, and produces several tofu or tempeh-based products.

Is this really worth making a thread about?

Was it a gay liberal fascist America hating tofu turkey? Also, real men don't eat tofu, they stalk, kill and deep fry their quarry.

Damn liberals and their soybean based products. EAT MEAT CHUMPS.

Since learning the arts of deep frying a turkey, my interest in the usually dry and unappetizing bird has increased 200%.

Frying > Baking every time.

Don't measure out the oil needed to cover the bird ahead of time. Better to need to pour more than have to scoop out hot oil to prevent overflow.

Not patting down the bird of water which gives you that BOOM *** effect. Bonus points if it spatters so much of the oil it ignites your flame source.

Use a poor stand for an outdoor frier which then tips over, igniting your deck. Those cheap rigs have legs that beg to fall over.

Fry a bird that's too large that jams inside the pot or becomes difficult to pull out. 15 is usually the tops I do but I've seen people try up to a 20lb bird. Yeah, I'm not doing it.

Try to douse a grease fire with water. Oh gawwwwwwwwwd.

People who burn down their places with a turkey usually:



I live in an apartment and we've been able to safely fry for years. It really comes down to not being HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE and practicing basic safety protocol.

Also, real men don't eat tofu, they stalk, kill and deep fry their quarry.

F U !
it's better than the thread you made jackass!

why do people feel the need to bust grandma chanti's balls every time she makes a stupid thread? she lives out there near seattle, she likes to talk about it... big whoop.

like your time is precious or something!

in seattle you can catch a *** salmon almost as big as you are and grill that bad boy up... which is so delicious it makes up for a lot of stupid grunge rock hipster tofurky pansy *** granola mom crap you have to avoid while you are there.

so go to seattle and apologize...to everyone... you smelly little ***.

Ya know, I didn't think that response was so horrid as to require the level of hostility in your response lol. Might just be me iono

If its made of tofu then you can inject it will whatever flavor you want. could have a ham flavored tofu shaped like a turkey.

I laughed

This is my exact thought of about 90% of the threads I see...

Well if we have three global warming threads I guess this is expected.

Only 3?

They're all global warming threads if left to cook long enough.

I figured by now we would have 3 per day.
