Quote of the Day (Alistair Cooke, on Thanksgiving and Cranberry Sauce)

“It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it.”— British journalist and broadcaster Alistair Cooke (1908-2004), Talk About America: Selection of Broadcast Letters from America (1968)
