Getting a turducken would be so tasty… I haven’t been able to think of anything else since I read this… maybe its because I’m gonna end up eating the “Thanksgiving Vegetarian Lasgna” or a “Tofurkey” with my S.O’s fam… or maybe its because I haven’t eaten at all today… hrmmm…
I have the urge to buy a roast chicken and eat it like a wild beast, juices dripping, hands and face smothered with bits of meat and fat, snarling and glaring at any who approace… RARRRRR!
How the quote should have read:

See, a little editing, and they’d have my full support…
I too about spewed my drink when I saw this. Aside from the fact that I absolutely love John Madden, it was hilarious.
Gotta love those PETA people… what is it again? People Eating Tasty Animals?
As in hoisted by their own…
Gawd. I don’t know whether to drool or puke.
But what about the poor soy beans? Out there in all sorts of weather, rain and heat and darkness and wind. Just as they reach maturity and look forward to a life of carefree pleasure some huge, noisy machine comes along and wrenches them from there happy home, piles them into huge steel bins where they are packed in with millions of other beans in a regular Black Hole of Calcutta, and then crushed and ripped asunder just so that John Madden has a slab of tofu for his lunch. Oh, the inhumanity of the thing. Tofu is murder.
An old Arab recipe calls for a baby camel, stuffed with a sheep, stuffed with a baby goat, stuffed with a chicken, stuffed with pigeons. Or something like that.
Tear that apart with your hands.
In recent years, though, the whole thing has been stuffed into a belt loaded with explosives.
“Churkey” would be cooler.
CHicken

turKEY
I prepared a Turducken last year for Thanksgiving, it was delicious. The hardest part was deboning all of the birds… it took me a couple of hours to do it but I was pretty meticulous about it. If I ever make another one I WILL go one further and stuff a deboned quail inside the chicken… mainly because I love quail. Be advised however that these things will shed a LARGE amount of grease and liquid during the roasting. I cooked mine overnight at relatively low temperature, when I woke up there was a nice little pool of drippings in the bottom of my oven frome where it had overflowed my rather large roasting pan. The bird(s) was fabulously tender though. ;>

Sorry, I just started chanelling “Carrot Juice Is Murder”, by the Arrogant Worms.
You guys are defeating the purpose: a Cornish hen is a chicken. It’s gotta be different birds. So what we do is add a goose layer between the duck and chicken and a pheasant layer inside the chicken. Then quail and then hummingbird.
I’ve never seen swan for sale but I’ve tasted it once (like duck, but milder), but if we had one, it would go between the duck and the turkey.
And since you can buy ostrich steaks (I have…eh. A not altogether happy beefy flavor with a stringy chicken texture) I’m allowing ostrich.
So our ideal Turducken thing goes:
Ostrich
Turkey
Swan
Duck
Goose
Chicken
Phesant
Quail
Hummingbird
Of course the oven might explode.
Fenris
fair enough, I’ll drink to that. 
Aren’t swans bigger’n turkeys? And I’m pretty sure geese are bigger’n ducks…
And I’m sure we could fit an emu in there somewhere.
Mmmmm, emu…
Now, if you get some genetic engineers to use some vestigial DNA to reconstruct a Giant Moa…
And between the quail and the hummingbird ya gotta get some swallow.
…This all sounds like something Henry VIII or Nero may have had on his plate… I gotta find my copy of The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody to check…
I once saw a TV show where they took two or three turduckens, stuck them inside a pig, then sewed that into a cow. Dead serious.
By the way, I’d love to see someone attempt to debone a hummingbird while keeping the meat intact.
Why doesn’t Mr Madden just get his hands inside a Trojan Hog?
Soak it in vinegar overnight
