With the holidays coming up, I have to ask... has anyone ever had the chance to eat Turducken?

It's a turkey stuffed with a duck, which is stuffed with a chicken, all of the birds being deboned and various stuffing mixtures in between each bird.

There's a lot of variety to the basic recipe but it just sounds like it would be awesome to eat. No, i've never had the experience yet.

That sounds like a special move in some third-rate "comical" parody of Street Fighter.

TUR-DUUUUUUUUUUC-KEN!

Every time I hear or see the word "turducken" it reminds me of John Madden.Have never tried it, but would definitely like to.

We normally deep fry a turkey for Thanksgiving. If you haven't tried that, you definitely should. Just be sure the bird is COMPLETELY THAWED before you put it in the oil.

deep fried turkey > any other way to cook a turkey

I remember reading some joke last year about Madden dining on a Turduckead (Turkey stuffed with duck that's stuffed with a human head).

Sadly, i haven't tried deep-fried turkey either. I've never heard a bad thing about yet.

Smoked turkey is awesome, too. I worked in a BBQ restaurant for about 3 years, and we'd smoke turkeys on the pit for a whole day. You have to cover it in foil until the last hour or two, otherwise the skin will be black.

I don't think I could eat anything with turd in the name. No matter how good it sounded. And someone made the Street Fighter joke before me!

Even though it's spelled with an "A", what about custard or mustard? They're pronounced like "turd". Hell, Dijon mustard even looks like runny yellow baby shit.

Mmmmmm.... baby shit.

Checking into some research by top researchers I found that the Turducken is actually a hybridized combination of all three fowl:

This delicious bird is so popular that a chain has opened:

A perfect Thanksgiving (the Pariah holiday of the 21st Century) treat!

Thanksgiving (the Pariah holiday of the 21st Century)

Thanksgiving was something I never thought about until I met a guy at coffee shop, who was Native American. He didn't seem too pleased with the concept. His disdain resonated a bit as I'm supposed to be part Native Amercian. What tribe, I don't know.

So we give Thanks that we destroyed a culture and took over their land, celebrating it through the form of gluttony, watching televised football (not rugby, not soccer, FOOTBALL) and parades that only contribute to the massive amounts of pollution we already have. We do this, preparing meals 2-3 days or more, in advance, for friends and relatives that we really cannot tolerate for more than ten minutes at a time.

Please bow your head for Grace... Uncle Bill, will you do the honors?

Thanks for the wild turkey and
the passenger pigeons, destined
to be shit out through wholesome
American guts.

Thanks for a continent to despoil
and poison.

Thanks for Indians to provide a
modicum of challenge and
danger.

Thanks for vast herds of bison to
kill and skin leaving the
carcasses to rot.

Thanks for bounties on wolves
and coyotes.

Thanks for the American dream,
To vulgarize and to falsify until
the bare lies shine through.

Thanks for the KKK.
For ******-killin' lawmen,
feelin' their notches.

For decent church-goin' women,
with their mean, pinched, bitter,
evil faces.

Thanks for "Kill a Queer for
Christ" stickers.

Thanks for laboratory AIDS.

Thanks for Prohibition and the
war against drugs.

Thanks for a country where
nobody's allowed to mind the
own business.

Thanks for a nation of finks.

Yes, thanks for all the
memories-- all right let's see
your arms!

You always were a headache and
you always were a bore.

Thanks for the last and greatest
betrayal of the last and greatest
of human dreams.

Amen.

Ok, I guess I got the William Burroughs out of my system for today.

Seriously, I'm into ideas about holiday meals. Or, even food in general. No matter how bizarre.

A recipe I could never convince relatives to eat with me, that I'm intrigued by is oyster stuffing. I've never had it and would definitely try it. When I lived in Columbus, OH, it was the rage... even traditional. At the time, I'd never tried oysters but, today, bring 'em on.

We have a guy cajun fry a turkey for us every year. I don't think I've had a juicier bird.

I am intrigued by the idea of eating a turducken. It honestly and truly does sound nice. Course this isn't my first time hearing of one. I read a joke somewhere about what would basically be a super turducken. It was a hummingbird, stuffed into a sparrow, stuuffed into a cornish hen, stuffed into a chicken, stuffed into a duck, stuffed into a turkey, stuffed into an ostrich, stuffed into a leapord, stuffed into a pterydactile (sp), stuffed into a boeing 747.

The airplane at the end of that seems a little excessive, but thats how it went.

And that's when Sacks learned that leopards are secretly birds.

How long does it take for it to finish frying?

Yes, much like horses, leopards are part of the failed bird category. In ages past they existed with wings (as did horses) but sadly they all perished ages ago. Due to the fact that their wings were made of the same shit as our noses, their fossilized skeletons look the same as a regular horse or leopard. However, it is speculated that the winged leopard was more like a bat/flying squirrel hybrid than a traditionally imagined creature.
