When I was very young,on Thanksgiving, my parents would always give the "butt" part of the turkey, but tell me that it was the "turkey's nose" and that it was given to only special people. And I was all excited. It would be a couple years later that I would "put two and two together" and remember that turkeys have beaks and get their heads cut off before it's cooked. So it couldn't have been a "nose"...and my brother cheerfully told me I was eating TURKEY BUTT...and I was all upset.
