And Randi, your mentioning duck reminds me, when I was a child, my mom started a food pantry with the various churches in our town, it was quite an ecumenical endeavor. It is a small town, and it took a lot of effort to convince others that there was a need - because they never saw anyone begging on the street, they were ignorant of the poor families who were struggling to feed themselves. She made a special effort at Christmas, to make sure each family got a special basket with everything for a big Christmas dinner, and included a turkey large enough for each household, depending how many people lived there. She went on many of the deliveries herself, full of holiday cheer, and was a bit taken aback when one woman sniffed at her and informed her that a turkey just would NOT do, she expected a goose!
