I am intrigued... 12 birds one huge meal

[Big Don]

I stumbled across this article and am intrigued. I really want to try turducken, but, not being a really adventurous eater, want to talk to someone who has had it before I do...
This however, is amazing: How do you top this? Start with an ostrich, then an emu...

Turducken is a royal pain in the butt to make. You have to partially bone the turkey and completely bone the duck and chicken, layer them inside each other filling various gaps and cavities with three different kinds of stuffing. It sounds like this one requires boning all of the birds from the turkey and goose down to the quail and partridge and slathering on half a dozen kinds of stuffing. I can't imagine that anyone would get a taste of everything. And it sounds like it's a son of a ***** to prep.

I want to EAT turducken, I have zero desire to cook one. I found a place on line that will, for $80, do all the work and ship a turducken nationwide. I just can't convince enough of my family to try it, and I'm not eating 15 pounds of bird alone.

There used to be places in Louisiana that sold them through the Internet and shipped them. I saw one in WalMart once, but I wouldn't personally go that route ;-) I'd give one a go though. It would be odd slicing a turkey like meatloaf :lol:

Well there ARE probably a bunch of homeless/hungry people who'd be happy to help you out with it. Mebbe think about hosting a meal for you and them at a local church of your choice.


Yes, you could also use it as a tax write-off. :asian:
