Turducken: A fowl game of Russian dolls
Here's another unholy stop on my continuing quest to see just how much human beings can pervert the natural order: turducken. When you put a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey, and then roast it for eight hours, you get turducken (thanks to Mattthew for the reminder).
I've heard of putting squab in chicken, and then chicken in turkey. But there's no name for that. There's a certain elegance about turducken. The name that fits together like a puzzle. The different birds, deboned, that fit together so snuggly with stuffing inside. I plan on using this idea behind all my eating habits, starting with my afterdinner mint: a tic-cert (a tic-tac stuffed inside a Cert).
Turducken is a Bayou favorite. Here's a recipe. Here's a story about a town in Louisiana where turducken reigns supreme (includes great multimedia!). And here's another link just so I can type turducken.
