1. some guests will attend more than one Thanksgiving, this weekend
2. all the traditional sides are at least as good with hog as with bird
3. it's an AMERICAN holiday- no Muslims need apply
4. the leftovers will convert to posole & pork green chili, not nasty casseroles and turkey hash
5. all that's required for resounding success is that it tastes better than turkey- it's a sure bet!
