Bizarre Holiday Food Traditions

[Thipu1]

Does coffee ice cream count as a weird holiday food? We always have it at Thanksgiving. My cousin and I cover it with chocolate syrup.

Cofffe ice cream is always weird! 

However, my mom would have loved it. She used to spoon coffee on her ice cream because we couldn't buy that flavor.

Coffee ice cream?  That's not unusual at all.  Coffee ice cream with chocolate syrup or hot fudge?  Still perfectly reasonable.  Coffee ice cream with chocolate syrup and crushed pineapple?  A bit odd perhaps, but that was a holiday favorite in my parental home.  Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Chocolate syrup? Hershey's or the good stuff? I really am thinking about my family here.

Always Hershey's where I'm from.

On the 27th or 28th of December, when everyone's utterly sick of turkey-dinner, cake, mince pies and chocolate, we have soft-boiled eggs with fresh crusty bread.

When we tell people this before Christmas, they look at us funny, but if we tell them just afterwards, they often make that little jealous "Oooh!" noise, and say they wish they'd thought of having that.

Are you (or are you related to) John Madden?  That looks like one of his Thanksgiving Day turkeys when he used to host football games.

No relation at all.  I don't even watch football.

Here's a shot of Madden with his turkey of many legs:
