Mmm... Turducken


Ever since your lowly and humble photographic servant was a baby gourmand, I've wanted a turducken. I read about it in National Geographic and like most things in National Geographic, it sounded delicious. Stuffing inside a duck inside a chicken inside a turkey.

Man put together an abomination in the eyes of God and an affront to nature and then marked it down from 5.99 per pound to .99 which is, coincidentally, what I had budgeted for turducken this year.

It has cooking directions that even I can follow, so I had one this evening.

So how was my longtime gastronomical dream? You know how sometimes when you are having sex with multiple partners at the same time and it SEEMS like a really great idea... but nothing in this world is equal and the lesser proves to be a distraction when really, you only want the duck.

  2. Yes, yes. Turducken is EXACTLY like sex with multiple partners at the same time.

    So I've heard.

    What?

  3. So, just get the duck next time?

    P.S. Becky loved your LL Bean plate!

  4. OOOOOOHHHHHH, you talked of the turducken with great anticipation. Maybe you should have poured GRAVY over it?!

  6. I'm sorry, what? I read this very quickly because, frankly, I have better things to do but you what? You shagged a turducken and realised that what you really wanted was just sex with a duck?

    To the sock monkey: back away slowly then run for your life.

  9. Where's the beef?!

    *stealing the L.L. Bean plate* ('Cause I need a new dish set. 'Cause I know you just love it when people steal your stuff. And because, well, I like it too!)
    Did I ever tell you that my dream car was a L.L. Bean Edition Subaru Outback Wagon? Forest Green to be precise. But not anymore. Now my dream car is a Subaru Baja in that really cool olive-ish green that I've seen a lot of the wagons lately.

  14. I like how 'LLBean' and 'sex with multiple partners' bring out vast numbers of Gentle Comments.

    In regards to the LLBean plate, it would just seem wrong to use other plates in my LLBean House and on my LLBean table sitting in my LLBean chair stuffing my LLBean face and widening my LLBean ass. :)

    And Jacob, it's an LLBean WATCH. I don't have an LLBean clock. Yet.

  15. The rest of the plates in your house are paper.

  17. I heard of this just last week and had the same thought. That it had to be somehow obscene. I'm glad you ate it not me.
