But not quite every-year-until-the-end-of-time delicious. Especially not when you’ve got so many other centerpiece-worthy alternatives that you can have mailed directly to your doorstep. So let’s see if we can’t make carving the alligator a tradition, shall we...     GATOR AID A Whole Alligator from Louisiana   What You’re Getting: An entire American alligator, skinned to order by some seasoned experts in this kind of thing deep in the Louisiana bayou. Cook for five hours at 250 degrees; serve with gumbo and Duck Dynasty reruns. Tradition Breakage Level: 9. Alligators are basically the opposite of turkeys.   411: Louisiana Crawfish Co. Whole Skinned Alligator, practice your gator call here     GOOSE GOSSAGE A Fresh Free-Range Goose from Boston   What You’re Getting: A 12-to-16-pound goose that enjoyed a happy existence grazing on a picturesque free-range goose farm. And is about to enjoy a less happy existence on a silver platter next to the mashed potatoes. Tradition Breakage Level: 4. Thanksgiving goose is the new Christmas goose.   411: Savenor’s Fresh Free-Range Goose, have a gander here     SOMETHING FISHY A Sockeye Salmon from Seattle   What You’re Getting: A rather sizable pre-filleted wild sockeye salmon straight from the Pacific Northwest. It’s known for its high omega-3 content. Not so much for being stuffed with stuffing, but still. Tradition Breakage Level: 5. Salmon is basically the turkey of the sea. Whatever that means.   411: Seattle Fish Company Sockeye Salmon Special, swim upstream here     SMOKING SECTION A Massive Smoked Brisket from Brooklyn   What You’re Getting: A gargantuan slab of Texas-style smoked brisket, shipped ready-to-heat from New York City’s reigning brisket champion, Delaney Barbecue. And one of their bourbon pecan pies, because you like those, too. Tradition Breakage Level: 8. Unless you’re from Texas, in which case, 1.   411: Delaney Barbecue Thanksgiving Brisket, just add sauce here     PARTRIDGE FAMILY A Red-Legged Partridge from Scotland   What You’re Getting: An adorable little red-legged partridge... that was hunted for sport on an ancient estate in Scotland. It only serves one, so make sure you get more than one. Also: a pear tree seems appropriate here. Tradition Breakage Level: 2. At the end of the day, these are just mini turkeys.   411: D’Artagnan Wild Scottish Red-Legged Partridge, think small here UrbanDaddy is pure editorial. You can't buy love from the Daddy.
