For various reasons, we have decided to forgo Turkey for Thanksgiving this year. Mom will miss breaking the wishbone however. I was thinking that I saw fake ones online a few years ago, but I cursory google did not yield the results I was looking for. Does anyone know where I might find some?

Hey – considering that OstriTurDuckEn thread – how big a wishbone does that Ostrich give you?

Less fancy, but cheaper: use those semi-attached disposible chopsticks some asian restaurants have.
