Comment from Don Fitch on LiveJournal 10/20:
"I was all set to post a response similar to soon_lee's, but in a final re-reading realized the import of your concluding sentence (something about an alternate universe in which some other fowl had been domesticated) -- you were perfectly solid on 'liver', and 'giblets', but were questioning (or noting that you were assuming) the 'turkey' aspect because the market did not use this word on the package. (That was probably just a careless error, but it was also probably illegal... and I'd guess that someone in the store has noticed it (or will soon) and it won't happen again, for a while, although the giblets might be a trifle more expensive if they have to move up to a larger label-printing machine.)"

The Wedge Coop used to label it as "turkey giblets."
10/21 -- I complained, and the problem is supposed to get fixed.

Comment from Al Zorra on LiveJournal 10/20:
"By coincidence I looked at The Last Werewolf in my local branch yesterday, along with the book that comes after it. Look was all I did though, because really, like to you, to me it looked so ho-hum dull, why bother?

  "Love, C."

I just sent round a quote attributed to Ronald Searle, cartoonist. Looks like it was really by John Searle, philosopher. Always check 1st.
