An elephant stuffed with a rhinocerous would be an “elephino”, right? ---

I’m saving this for after my other goal, which is to buy a house, since I don’t think my landlord would be too keen on me building a giant fire-pit on the terrace. ---

I’ve wanted to try one, just to say I had. Maybe I should make one myself, then go for The Ultimate. The turkey would be stuffed with a duck… Which would be stuffed with a chicken… Which would be stuffed with a Cornish game hen… Which would be stuffed with sausage. Each turkey, duck, chicken, game hen and sausage would be separated with layers of bacon and ham. The whole thing would be deep-fried. I’d call it Deep Fried Turduckencornhambac (tur-duck-en-CORNam-bac). It would be served with cheese sauce and gravy. ---

I want to make my own version, too. I’ll take a vat of lard, stuff it with a can of Crisco, which would in turn be stuffed with a stick of butter. I’ll garnish it with Krispy Kreme doughnuts. ---

My friends & I order one of these every year for our Super Bowl party from this place. > **[Cajun Specialty Meats, Cajun Recipes, Turduckens, Stuffed Chickens](https://cajunspecialtymeats.com/)** > > Brothers Carl and Cory Broussard bring the unique Cajun cuisine of their native South Louisiana to your table. Raised in Maurice, Louisiana, Carl and Cory deliver the real thing – genuine bayou-to-table goodness, that’s simple to prepare and... I find it to be quite tasty. The turkey doesn’t get too dry, and the stuffings are delish. Their andouille sausage is also very good. Have fun with it! Did anyone notice that John Madden didn’t have one this year? I think after he pulled one apart with his bare hands in the booth last year, the suits put the ki-bosh on the idea. ---

My family had one for Thanksgiving. I wasn’t particularly thrilled. It was okay, but a little dry and…eh. Of course, I don’t really like any kind of fowl that much in the first place, so I didn’t expect to be wowed by my little cross-section. I was just pissed off that there was no wishbone to break. For the people coming up with silly suggestions…should I tell you that my parents have ordered a cochon-turducken (chicken inside a duck inside a turkey inside a pig) for Christmas? I am alternating shades of amused and appalled. ---

This all reminds me of Homer Simpson at a very fancy and exclusive restaurant: Homer: Good Sir, I shall have your most luxurious dish stuffed with your second-most luxurious dish. Snooty Waiter: That will be lobster… stuffed with TACOS. ---

What would a quail stuffed with a hog stuffed with a pheasant stuffed with a peacock stuffed with a lamb stuffed with a turkey stuffed with a deer stuffed with a bison stuffed with a moose sound like? A quahopheapealaturdebisonoose? _thinks the whole concept is a little ridiculous_ 😉 ---

> [@Odinoneeye](#): > > Anything that allows me to eat duck instead of turkey is fine by me. > > Does anyone else really hate the fact that we have turkey on Thanksgiving and then bam, a month later have turkey again. > > Can you tell I don’t like turkey. Same here. I think the Thanksgiving/Christmas turkey combo is the stupidest tradition ever. Why do people rush to eat a big turkey two times in a month and then don’t have it again for the rest of the year? I have a pretty good idea. It is because turkey sucks but nobody wants to admit it because they think that everyone else really likes it. Duck is yummy though. If I could get my mother-in-law to cook a turduckin, I would have some meat that I look forward too. ---

A turduckin isn’t really that exotic by world standards. When I finally get to host Christmas at my house, this is what I am going to make: Traditional Bedouin Feast ``` * 1 medium camel * 1 medium North African goat * 1 lamb * 1 large chicken * 6 eggs * 450 cloves of garlic * 1 bail of fresh coriander * 25 lbs almonds * 25 lbs pine nuts ``` Take the prepared chicken and stuff with the eggs, which should be hard boiled, the almonds and pine nuts. Sprinkle with coriander. Stuff the lamb with the chicken. Stuff the goat with the lamb. Stuff the camel with the goat. Spike with the garlic and brush with butter before cooking. Spit roast over a charcoal fire. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/turducken/279823.md?page=1)
