Granted I didn't like being around my family, 95% of them were very redneck, so it was hard to sit and eat and socialize about things I didn't care about (Oh boy, you killed a deer, it had a lot of points, ah-mah-zing. You slathered animal piss all over you and sat in a box for hours in the cold, you know how to pick a good tiiiime). Being an adult, I no longer have to go, so I can have whatever! Pasta, reheated pizza, cake, bitter regret, someone else's cooking, dressing, tacos...

Meh, I just ask if they were good sportsmen and used bows, if they thanked the deer for giving them their food, and if they plan on using the entire thing (friend of mine is rather talented at stuff like tanning hide and all...may talk to them about the vellum process I learned in Medieval Studies if I ever see them) or if they were lazy disrespectful folk using those easy weapons.

I wish that was what my family talked about. Grandparents are rather fixated on talking about (dad gum Muslims, Blacks, Gays, Indians, Amerindians, Democrats, etc.) around here. That, and Grandfather distorting family history to suit his views.
