While watching news this morning, the reporter talked about a special Thanksgiving Day recipe - Turducken recipe. It's actually a chicken in a duck in a turkey, so you get to eat three types of bird in one meal. If you are interested to try the recipe, you can find it on this web site http://www.thesalmons.org/lynn/turducken.html.
According to Wikipedia, "Turducken is believed to be Cajun in origin, although it may also have originated in eastern Texas or northern Louisiana. Lake Charles, Louisiana, claims that turduckens were invented there. While such elaborate layering of whole animals, also known as a farce, from the French word for "stuffing", can be documented well back into the Middle Ages of Europe, some people credit Cajun-creole fusion chef Paul Prudhomme with creating the chimerical dish. However, no one has ever verified his claim." (More on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turducken)
I actually find this recipe 'interesting'. Not that there's anything wrong with this way of cooking birds, but it's kind of like '3-in-1'. I like 3-in-1 coffee and tea, but a 3-in-1 bird dish? I don't think so.
