Brim: I’m willing to wager that there’s at least one vegetarian and/or vegan professional football player.
Cajun Fried Turduken…I might just have to try this.
…and a partridge in a pear tree. :rolleyes:
You think? My guess is that it would be very hard to acheive ideal weight and muscle mass and maintain it. I could be wrong. Are there vegans or veggies who pump iron at a professional level? Also, what about injury recovery rate?
Or is this some obscure joke about “there’s at least one gay football player?”
That turducken sounds yummy. Let’s go for it!
PETA are waaaaay too uptight.
Anyone got a recipe? I’ll give it a whurl.
Sorry I can’t come over tonight I am boning a number of birds.

That’s the Illustrated Turducken Recipe page. I’d be willing to give the recipe a try; however, I have a feeling that my turkey would look like Swiss cheese after I try deboning it. I also have to wonder how much it would cost to get all the ingredients together. I better start saving now.
Quick search turned up VeganBodybuilding.org Check out the link to Jim Morris and the links at the bottom of the page. It’s certainly possible to be vegan and a bodybuilder. Not sure about professional football players, though.
As for PETA, they seem to feel that any publicity is good publicity, but “the group wants the announcers to celebrate with a slab of
soy”? <insane laughter>
Some Vegetarian athletes:
Dave Scott: triathlete who has won Ironman Triathlon four times
Robert Sweetgall: ultra-distance walker
Edwin Moses: Olympic gold metal for hurdling
Pierro Verot: world record for downhill endurance skiiing
Estelle Gray & Cheryl Marek (vegans): world record for cross country tandem cycling
Not sure on the body builder question but I bet if you did a search you’d find one.
And for the record, I’m a vegan and think the folks at PETA are a bunch of loons who give vegetarians and vegans a bad rap.
My vote’s for:
Snail Darter inside a
Spotted owl inside a
Golden Eagle inside a
Black Rhino
You don’t really have to debone it!
Thank you, thank you…
I now have an image of Odin riding an eight-legged turkey in my head…
I saw what I think was a National Geographic show years ago that featured a segment about the camel stuffed with a sheep stuffed with a goat stuffed with a chicken stuffed with pigeons. Apparently the concoction made people sick because of the sheer size and bulk it took a very long time to bring all of the meats up to cooking temperature, some of the meat started going bad before it was cooked. I don’t think this would be a problem with a turkducken though.
So what is next? PETOV? People for the ethical treatment of vegetables?
Honestly, I’d like to know if PeTA is entertaining any plans to introduce a Tofu turducken…What would that be, a Toturducken? They could use varying durometers of tofu to simulate the different meats used in normal turduckens, and that might do well, in itself, what with the bounties of flavor technology available these days. Despite all these technological advances, they could probably only use soy sauce and maybe some obscure brand of bread without ANY by-products whatsoever for stuffing to avoid making any cute little animals cry…
Don’t know how reliable this list is, but check out [url=http://veggie.org/veggie/famous.veg.athletes.shtml]a whole buttload of vegetarian and vegan athletes, including one football player:
and plenty of other athletes, including:
Take it for what it’s worth – but it looks like you can be a vegetarian athlete after all.
