Probably nobody from Detroit was there.

Doesn't every seafood restaurant have octopus? And every Greek restaurant? If you see 'pulpo' on the menu, it's octopus. Not all that different from calamari (squid, BTW), but a little more chewy. Don't forget your dentures.

And if you ever order House Special Chow Fun in a Chinese restaurant, don't even think of asking what's in it. Last time I asked, there was some reference to "inside of fish stomach" among the ingredients, so I just don't ask anymore.

Eat and enjoy.

There are some in Texas that actually FRY turkeys.

But, I'll tell you one thing we all do: Right before the turkey is brought into the dining room for carving, we blow our whistle so any that were dunking bread in the turkey gravy can stop.
