Bob Edwards Yuletide recipes: Part 5

Posted by Jeremy Klaszus in Klaszus Corner

Does anybody actually read this stuff? Drew tells me he does, so here's the fifth Yuletide recipe from Bob Edwards:

Roast Turkey

Save up for months until you have price of good big bird. Then take money and send to Maple Creek for half a dozen bottles of Scotch. You won't want any turkey.

— Bob Edwards Summer Annual, 1923 (as found in Irresponsible Freaks, Highball Guzzlers and Unabashed Grafters: A Bob Edwards Chrestomathy, edited by James Martin.)

This is the last recipe in this series. If you want more Bob Edwards goodness I can post more but for now that's it. To recap, here are the previous recipes in this series: bread pudding, stewed chicken, pudding a la reine and rabbit stew.
