Miss Manners: Who Should Cook the Thanksgiving Turkey?
Dear Miss Manners, what is the etiquette for who cooks the turkey for Thanksgiving dinner? A family requested that a daughter cook and bring the turkey after making a 12-hour drive with two toddlers and her husband.
Gentle reader, etiquette does not have a rule designating the turkey cook. The decision can be based on various factors, such as proximity to the oven, who didn't do it last year, or who volunteers.
Consideration of others might suggest that an all-day drive in a crowded car with toddlers isn’t good for a turkey, let alone the passengers.
