what tofurkey is really made of

We are doing Thanksgiving this year a day late so that my uncle's family can join us, and are having a real turkey and a tofurkey so that [livejournal.com profile] soundofdoom will have something to eat.

Last night I told the kids that we would be having Thanksgiving dinner at Granny and Grandpa's, and there would be both a real turkey and a fake turkey.  A fake turkey?! they demanded.  Yes, I said, a fake turkey too.

"Can we eat the fake turkey?" Quinn asked impishly.

"Sure, if you want to," I said.

His face passed into an expression of complete astonishment and a little horror.  After a moment he asked, more somberly:

"Is it wooden?"

Joanne says "Maybe it is the Trojan Turkey." Beware of Geeks bearing gifts, I guess. Best protect the stuffing.
