My uncle spent 45 minutes arguing about the proper way to carve a turkey
Last Thanksgiving, my uncle Steve insisted you have to cut the legs off first before touching the breast, citing a YouTube video he watched. Meanwhile my aunt was hiding in the kitchen because she'd already pre-sliced the whole thing in private to avoid the fight. Anyone else got a relative who turns a simple carving job into a full family feud?

Your aunt hid in the kitchen carving the turkey beforehand to avoid the argument? That's wild. The family tension got so bad she had to go stealth mode with a knife. Uncle Steve sounds exhausting with his YouTube commandments. I'd be hiding too if someone was about to throw down over poultry technique. Turkey carving shouldn't require a covert ops mission. Honestly that's one of the most passive aggressive Thanksgiving moves I've heard.

OH MY GOD the stealth turkey carving is GENIUS though. My cousin's husband did this last Christmas where he spent TWENTY minutes explaining the "correct" way to slice a ham while she was just trying to get food on the table. She eventually just handed him a fork and told him to go carve his own plate somewhere else. People get SO weird about meat.
