As with the others, I really do like turkey, it's just a lot of work and you need a lot of people to eat a whole one or you need to commit to eating turkey for the next week and I tend to like more variety than that. But we sometimes do a turkey for Christmas as well and occasionally we'll cook one off season.
For the record on tappioca, the guy who found out that it was edible if you cooked was trying to kill himself. He'd gotten lost in a jungle and had no food left so rather than starving to death he decided to kill himself by eating something he knew was poisonous, but he didn't want to eat it straight so he cooked it. Turns out if you cook it, it neutralizes the poison.
