A Rabbi makes sure that the machine that adds iodine isn’t greased with pig fat, for example.
I guess grilled owl canapes are right out, then?
An owl is a predator, so I’d guess them to be treif.
Pity. Just isn’t Thanksgiving without a fricasee of owl.
I’d take fricasee of owl over gefilte fish any day.

Frankly, I’d politely decline just for the timing issue (never mind the food clusterfuck). Do you really want to be driving home at 11 or 12 at night on Thanksgiving? There will probably be traffic too, with all those early Black Friday sales.
Screw that. If they really wanted you there (and I’m not saying they should have to just for a future in-law) they would have moved the meal earlier. Schedule a nice get-to-know-you lunch for some time in December.

Heh. I disavow any responsibility for following my advice. But you really had the shitty holiday bingo going: 6 hours in the car, meal with strangers, insane food restrictions, late night travel. Now you can enjoy a heaping portion of gluten-free mashed potatoes and falling asleep on the couch instead of behind the wheel.
