:: Three birds via FedEx are worth one in the hand ::

Thursday, November 02, 2006

I'll be out of town for Thanksgiving and the weekends book-ending it, but I'd like to throw down an appropriately-themed gauntlet. A juicy, tender, Cajun gauntlet. A turducken gauntlet.

Perhaps you've relegated turducken to a long list of bygone southern stereotypes, along with staunch support for the Democratic party, seersucker suits, Ronnie Van Zant, and New Orleans. You are wrong, and I have three concentric dead birds to prove it.

To be more precise, I have found two web sites which offer mail-order turducken: Cabela's and Cajun Grocer. Each of these fowl matryoshki totals 15 pounds and will feed about 10 people. They are not cheap. The maximum price looks to be about $140.

If I can get at least 7 people willing to pay $20 at most, we will feast on turducken. Email me (morland, gmail) if you're interested with available dates and preferred choice of stuffing.

Stuffing choices: Cornbread, Cajun Cornbread, Shrimp/Crawfish, Wild Rice/Pecans, Jambalaya, Creole Sausage & Cornbread, Cornbread & Pork Rice Dressing, and Cajun Plain.

I can get enough people together in denver that all you'd have to pay for is the plane ticket out here. Plus I can buy some fishing waders from Cabela's at the same time.

To tell you the truth, I always wanted to cook the turducken inside a pig, which is then inserted into a cow but we couldn't come up with a catchy name (to in-turn get the rest stuffed into a bison would be the upsell). But there's a goldmine in that little nugget of genius.

Can't we do it this weekend when I'm in town? I don't want to miss out on the turducken.
