New arrivals to Dakar may laugh at us talkin’ turkeys in September, but seasoned expats know it’s always been a scramble to find a bird for Thanksgiving dinner. 

This year Poulet Express is raising 1,400 turkeys that will range from 6 to 10 kilos (5000cfa/kilo) and will be available from mid-November. No need to call to reserve ahead of time, but do call 2-5 business days before you want your bird(s) delivered. Tel: 338429686

We now resume our regular program of sweating and not thinking about autumn.
