Uh oh. I seemed to remember last year they were a little smaller too.

I guess even the turkeys are cutting back in this economy...

   Turkey downsizing.  What is the world coming to?  Remember when you could feed two people on a single drumstick?
  The vendors tried selling dinky legs here a couple years ago, they were buying them from Walmart in 2 packs that are sold by the pound, and they were barely bigger than a large chicken drumstick.  At first we speculated they may have tried using the 'drumettes' from the wing (we were wrong, they actually do sell drumsticks that tiny).
  We raised a stink (some of the peasants didn't bathe for days, and we moved a couple of the porta-potties closer to their end of the food court), and this year the huge legs came back.  Still $7-$8 bucks but awesome once again.  Demand quality and ye shall get it!

Maybe the emu farm went out of business and they had to switch to turkey.

Hmm, maybe I saw it wrong, but all the legs I saw partons eating seemed to be the normal size...?
