Cape Cod Turkey

Baked codfish. Refers to the 19th-century use of cod at Thanksgiving by Cape Cod's poorer inhabitants. I'll take some of the leftovers, but I'm not much on fish, so you can keep the Cape Cod Turkey for yourself. Papa, will we ever get to have real turkey on Thanksgiving, instead of this Cape Cod turkey? When all you've got is an abundance of fish, you can count on Cape Cod turkey for Thanksgiving dinner.

pay (for something) COD

To pay for a purchase when it is delivered as opposed to in advance at the time of ordering ("COD" being an initialism of "cash/collect on delivery").

If you do not have a credit card when ordering online or over the phone, you can arrange to pay for your purchase COD.
