Surprisingly as it may seem in the gourmet food capital of the World, finding a turkey for Thanksgiving (probably the only holiday that the French do not celebrate) is a bit of a challenge. Apparently, turkeys are eaten in this country, but they are usually eaten only during the Xmas time, so basically the turkeys are relatively small right now.
Laurence and I were able to finally order two turkeys from the market on Saturday, which we need to find someone to pickup on Tuesday. We had to get two, because we weren't sure if their size (5 kilos or 11 pounds) would be enough for 9 people - we'll see.
