Residents Outraged Over Giblet Shortage

The residents of New Peebleshire are reasonably upset over their current lack of giblets, a necessity in making dinner gravy. The village has been turkey-free since the great turkey famine of 1807, but the bird's meat remains a popular import from far-away Belfriesboro.

Giblet gravy has been a staple in the diet of the commoners here since 1741, when young Derelect McFoote famously drank a pint of it at the urging of his fellow cobblers. McFoote's legend, and the gravy's popularity, grew rapidly.

Belfriesboro, which is in the midst of its own turkey famine, has been unable to spare even a gizzard to its giblet-starved neighbors. With no certainty as to when the famine will end, members of New Peebleshire's local giblet guild are ready to give up hope. Only time will tell.

A popular Gravysmith whips up a fresh batch of the good stuff.
