Fein charges that MIT Professor Noam Chomsky "has long denied the right of Israel to exist," and is "known for anti-Zionism bordering on Anti-Semitism."

But miraculously the meal remains a monument to pre-microwave American cooking. Not even McDonald's has had the audacity to create McTurkey, nor does Domino's deliver cranberry pizza.
