They are all books by Terry Pratchett, although I am not sure if you could consider Strata part of the Discworld series. Although part of it takes place on a type of Discworld, kind of. Your list would be a list of things that happen togeather. Flowers in May Stars and stripes on a flag A flyer (turkey) in a fryer Yams and marshmallows in candied yams

I knew they were Pratchett books since the majority were Disc I slagged off and assumed it was a Discworld as well.

Turkeys pardoned by the President?

May & Flower ~ a boat Flyer & Fryer ~ types of chickens Marshmallow & Yam Stars & Stripes ~ a flag The marshmallow and yam is throwing me, unless it is a dish

Thanks to infoplease, I'm pretty sure it's the turkeys. On Tuesday, November 20, 2007, President Bush gave two turkeys named May and Flower a last-minute reprieve. The two hail from Dubois, Indiana, and were raised under the direction of National Turkey Federation Chairman Ted Seger. For the fifth time, the American public was allowed to vote for the turkeys' names on the White House web site. About 28,000 votes were cast online in 2007. 2006's turkeys were named Flyer and Fryer; 2005's were Marshmallow and Yam; 2004's were Biscuit and Gravy; and 2003's were Stars and Stripes.

True, but there's a particular piece of clothing they all have in common.
