They’re pretty good if you take them in a Jamaican jerk direction and braise them like lamb shanks.

I mean, cheap commercial turkey leg is probably shit, but I bet stewing that fucker until the meat separates from the many chewy tendons and marrow leeches out of the bone would be devine. Especially from a nice, healthy, free range/wild bird.

>Why do people pretend turkey legs are good?
They look far better than they are. They're just too dark meat gamey for me even if they are prepared to perfection. Smoked turkey is only good for a pot of beans, or for people to feel like a caveman or at a tudor era royal eating a mandolin serenaded banquet feast. I think turkey breast roasted or smoked, is just better.

Just do a jerk rub then let sit for half a day, then braise in chicken or veggie stock, It’s kind of like spicy pulled pork but turkey and great sandwiches and secondary dishes like sandwiches and quesadillas and salads, etc.

They are good, especially if its at a renaissance fair. I prefer to share them with friends because a turkey leg is dense AF.

But why are they the symbol of the renaissance faire? That's what I don't understand. Turkeys weren't native to Europe and in the renaissance, meat wasn't commonplace.

that looks fantastic

>> No.14541370

>>14541324
It's just a big piece of meat anon that's the symbol. If we had ostriches readily available and people were okay with eating them I bet we would be using that at the faires. It's the novelty of the thing. It's bigger than a chicken leg so it works for most people.

renaissance fairs/festivals are basically just an excuse to spend a day being a gluttonous pervert. walk around eating a turkey legge and gazing at the heaving bosoms of chunky girls in velvet corsets. eat a scotch egg and fried caramel cheesecake on a stick and potato soup in a bread bowl as big as your head while you drink mead in a pub with wenches singing bawdy songs.
it's awesome, just indulge and don't question it. buy your solid lotions from hippies and watch a blacksmith and cheer on a firedancer and get some beef on a stick and walk through the museum of medieval torture.
too bad it's all cancelled this year, i was looking forward to seeing plague doctor upon plague doctor

Because the barrel is compensated and the model didn’t originally have cuts on top of the slide, so they extended it past the slide, also that’s not a safety, that’s a selector switch for full and semi auto.
