Okay, I realize that Thanksgiving is over, but I just have to give some love to the turducken -- besides, there's always Christmas to aim for! Being an out-of-country American, I always feel a bit of a twinge when it comes to Thanksgiving. On the one hand, I get to celebrate it early (October). On the other, when all my States-side friends are Twittering about their roasts and blogging about their get-togethers, I succumb to the Thanksgiving angst. (It is one of my favorite times of the year, after all.)
Anyway, this year I headed for the local Cajun joint and had turducken. I figured: Why not? It's not something that pops up on the menu everyday. Holy boy -- it may get its share of jabs, but done right -- turducken is darned tasty. When mixed with oyster, corn, and sausage stuffing, topped with liquor-laced gravy, and teamed with gruyère Brussels sprout gratinee that tastes like galumpkis? Heaven.
So don't let the name fool you -- turducken can be quite good. Try it. I dare you!

Originally called a Rôti Sans Pareil, or "Roast without equal“
A bustard stuffed with a turkey, a goose, a pheasant, a chicken, a duck, a guinea fowl, a teal, a woodcock, a partridge, a plover, a lapwing, a quail, a thrush, a lark, an Ortolan Bunting and a Garden Warbler. The final bird is small enough that it can be stuffed with a single olive.
