BBQ sounds good to me! Have a wonderfull meal ceci.
Holy crap that is expensive for a turkey. 🦃 Do you know why? Just not common or some other reason?
They import them from Butterball in the US. Not only do we get hit with the transportation, we also get charged duty and taxes...
Thanks for the reply. I find this interesting. Why is no one raising them locally? Are they just such a specialty item that there is no demand for them?
No one is raising them here. I am waiting for papers that will allow me to either import eggs for hatching or live chicks. I think there would be a demand if they weren't so outrageously expensive. Ours would be better, not frozen and organically raised.
I'm glad you are at least looking into it. Seems like it might be an opportunity if everything pans out with the government.
