Let's talk Turkey!
 

Does anyone know if any of the country clubs have a buffet for Thanksgiving? Or which ones are open? Thanks!

Talk host is correct, all the restaurants in the Villages serve Buffalo Liver for Thankgiving . Its a tradition here and lots of us look forward to it. A few years ago there was a shortage of Buffalo Liver in Florida and so the Locals served Beef Liver and the out cry was huge....So I doubt they will ever make that mistake again....Anyway try it , you'll like it and save a drumstick for me.... :verymad:

Boy that's a new one for me! Liver! :o Is this kinda like 'kraut New Years Day? Don't worry - you guys will have plenty- you can have my share! Can I still get turkey???? ;D

Thanks!

Becky...sure won't catch me eating liver on Thanksgiving. Last year we went to Mallory Hill CC for TG dinner...wasn't a buffet but was plenty of food and pretty tasty...all the traditional TG fixins (and no liver). They should be open by TG. Anyway, start looking for ads in the Daily Sun for TG dinner specials at the various clubs. They should start appearing in the next couple of weeks.

Orange Blossom Country Club serves a great buffet for Thanksgiving. I have gone 2 years in a row and have not been disappointed yet.

Re: Let's talk Turkey!
 

For real, buffalo liver? I love liver, never had buffalo. I assume you get some turkey and the fixins. I guess I am in for a bunch of new experiences in TV, moving in. meeting new neighbors, Thankgiving in Florida and buffalo liver. Who knew!!!!! ::) ::)

Re: Let's talk Turkey!
 

Same question, but for Christmas. Does any place serve dinner?

Just don't tell me they serve liver for that too!

Do they serve the buffalo too at some point in time? Doubt if a buffalo can live without its liver. :joke:

I have to avoid high iron content foods like liver though.

Re: Let's talk Turkey!
 

Maybe they get a liver transplant from all the dead turkeys! :joke:

Re: Let's talk Turkey!
 

Maybe. It would probably take 10 turkey livers-- at least-- to make up one buffalo liver. Could we call this Frankenliver? :joke:

Re: Let's talk Turkey!
 

Villages07, I am in Ohio now but will be down for T-giving. Don't receive the Daily Sun. But if you happen to see any ads please feel free to send me an email! Am going to call and see when Mallory will open up! Thanks for all the advice (even the liver!) ;D

Taltarzac - I think we'd have to mix in a little pasta along with the liver.

You know how Buffaloes like to Rome :joke:

Re: Let's talk Turkey!
 

ouuuuuu.....really bad pun Russ. Love it. :bigthumbsup:

Re: Let's talk Turkey!
 

Sorry - didn't mean to open up a can of worms -( or liver as the case may be)! Do worms have livers???? ;D

Is it a coincidence or..

I've noticed that after Thanksgiving, you don't see hardly any Cattle Egrets amongst the Village Buffalo herds. Maybe they are only attracted to Buffalo Livers. Or maybe Egrets taste like turkey. :dontknow: :dontknow:

Re: Let's talk Turkey!
 

We've gone to GlenView Country Club for Thanksgiving two years in a row now and found it to be a traditional dinner and good. You do need to make reservations. Now I do need to add it is not as good as if we had cooked at home and had all the leftovers!

Re: Let's talk Turkey!
 

It appears lots of folks prefer to dine out on Thanksgiving. Not me. Can't beat a home made meal that day! (And turkey is one of my best meals.)

Just heard yesterday that Mallory was opening Nov. 1st.....

Won't be able to get Liver though, what with the shortage and all ::
Probably due to the lower census of the Buffalo Herd, For some reason their numbers seem to go down around Thanksgiving time....Lots of Sand Hill Cranes and Egrets though and its not all bad if you use a smaller fork...::

Just called my neighbor about Mallory opening on Nov, 1st and he confirmed it....It could be just rumor though as he is a librarian in Sumpter co...

He also added that if you call for a reservation , try to request table no. 17 or 18 as they now have an Ocean View.............. ;D

Re: Let's talk Turkey!
 

TGF, Thanks! Will call them. I called the Village People ;D, and they had no idea when it would open.
Too bad about the liver shortage! ;D
