I had a huge dinner last night, in hopes that my already prodigious Dwarven belly would be stretched big enough to eat half of the oversized chikkin I just stuffed into the oven.

I do LOVE Thanksgiving dinner, even though I have to wait an extra month to eat it here in the U.S.A.

Pictured are my favorite foods to go with giant dead bird:
- ALE
- potatoes done any darn way you want them, they are always great.
- cranberry jelly out of a can. Yeah, I don't even try to disguise the tin ridges. No annoying tasteless lumps of chewy tree-tasting bits in the jelly.
- rye bread. The proper, dark, dark kind with no freaking nasty caraway seeds.
- stuffing. Cooked outside of the bird to avoid turning into slimy mush.

I forgot to put butter in the picture, but you need like a POUND of it to go with the potatoes and bread and whatever vegetable matter one cooks out of a sense of obligation for "balanced food groups."

Things that Brasse declares should NEVER be served with Thanksgiving dinner, because it turns into NO THANKS dinner:
- squash. I don't care whose fantastic recipe you're using, it's gross and smells like rotting flesh.
- brussels sprouts. Cabbage is cabbage, even when it's tiny and cute.
- headcheese, herring, blood sausage or any other hideous Scandinavian dishes that used to be forced upon me in my childhood. I blame this early trauma for the person I am today.
- eggplant. No amount of butter, salt or even bacon can save this from being disgusting.

Everything else is negotiable, especially with ale.

ps. The properly Dwarfy stuffed turkey for today's comic was originally drawn by my buddy Jethal Silverwing just before his show week. I thought it was a beautiful little render, so I have reproduced it below for you!
