Pinkie invites all of her friends to Sugarcube Corner for a special celebration before Hearth's Warming. Great! Then, they find out she's going to be serving a turkey. Not so great.
Does this even make any kind of sense? Probably not. But it's Pinkie, so I guess anything goes.

An "Oof" is two or three battered short ribs and one glass of throat punch, Pinkie.
Reminded me of part of one of the Muppet's Christmas specials. The one at Fozzie's mom's place.

She'll take that under advisement.

I can honestly say I've never seen one, I just like the play on words.
Pudding Cake? The long-lost triplet of Pound and Pumpkin?
9311147
Apologies, it's been a while since Halloween.
9311146
Here is that special.
9311160
Thank you. I might watch it later, at a less ungodly time..
... I should have expected that plot twist.
But there is one part that confuses me:
I don't quite get the joke in that part of the fic.
9311227
It means I'd like to celebrate it in my home country, but I can't because it's not generally recognised. Unless you count the US embassy...
9311231
Ah.
Obviously, when Pinkie had the turkey tucked under her leg, she didn't notice its plump...tender...juiciness. Or how the layers of fat melded into the rich, buttery meat...(smack, drool)...excuse me!
All that was said to say this: I'm glad I'm not an herbivore.
OK, perhaps it's only me but... I didn't find that fic as funny as your other stories - maybe because the 'plot twist' was rather obvious after the first conversation...
If Pinkie had served them fried 'turkey' at first (and got some hilarious reactions) and only after some time revealed that the 'guest of honor' was safe and sound, and they really ate something that only 'tasted like fried turkey,' then it wouldn't be so obvious
It feels kind of 'meh' because of predictability - sorry.

I think I actually prefer my idea, because then they wouldn't have had that funny conversation on the way to Pinkie's and the 'moment of panic' you suggest after eating the 'turkey' before the truth is revealed wouldn't have been enough to sustain the entire fic. Plus, not everyone might've got the twist as quickly as you did in my version. But thank you for reading it, anyway.
9311297 I think her natural instincts would've kicked in, and she would've made the correct decision in the end. That all being said though, you wouldn't blame her for being tempted...

Leave a piece of cooked meat or something alike near a horse or a pony.... good luck trying to find it later...
sure, they are 99% herbivores, but they don't lose the chance of munching a small steak

That is, of course, your prerogative – it is your story after all
- and don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that you should have written it exactly like that… I just think that the ‘plot twist’ was simply too predictable (especially after the conversation the girls had on the way) and that it took a lot from the ‘fun factor.’
Then again, maybe it’s just me

Everyone's free to make their own judgement, of course. I've seen and read plenty of mystery thrillers that are a snooze to me because I figure out the end long before it arrives, whereas there are others that are still good enough to hold my attention despite the overriding predictability. And of course, there are others where I don't see it coming at all. 'Horses for courses', as people have said before.

Yep did you also know it's not too uncommon for mares to have fangs/canines. These are removed if they interfere with the a bit by most owners.
9312061
I did not. Interesting! I only knew of their digestive system, and that it can only digest little amounts of flesh and fat, which is why horses mostly are on a vegan diet.
So, there's some truth to the fangs of the batponies? ^^
9311231
Because its a holiday that has nothing to do with the UK. It'd be like United Kingdom celebrating the U.S. Independence Day.

Bat ponies are not canon. That was just a spell used by Luna to make them look like that. Rainbow Dash confirms this.
9312497
Not quite the same thing, seeing as it's celebrated in Canada and Liberia too. It was just wishful thinking, that's all.
9312500
When was this? And please don't say the Nightmare AU timeline because the fact that it's an AU invalidates it.

Gosh you must be fun at parties. Who cares for the official canon? Bat ponies very much are a thing, if nothing else, because hundreds of authors on this very site use them. If you want to boil every down to show canon and nothing else, lemme tell you that you won't have much fun on this here site...
