   I shy away from food whose name starts with “Turd”.

   Saw this made on PBS or Food Network once – just looked like a mess to me. And that was watching a pro do it!

   Since my husband is allergic, we never have the traditional turkey for Thanksgiving. We have whatever else we want.

   I’m not a turkey person. Ham is better.

   I know relatives of relatives who work at sewage treatment plants. They say ducks regularly sit on settling and digestion ponds. They chow down on the crud on top and then preen themselves before flying away. Back at the phone company, outside techs who had to work on phone and data lines at treatment plants said they saw the same thing (the sewer system has pumping stations and data lines to monitor them). Would you want to go hunting, bag 1 or 2 of those ducks and take them home and cook and eat them? This is yet another reason that I am a vegetarian.

   Hmmm, Thanksgiving, eh?
   Then we can expect a Christmas story arc around Easter.

   Ugh! My family and I tried one of those one time, and one time only! I don’t think it helped with the oyster stuffing in the middle. If I hadn’t been against Turducken before, these comments would’ve completely set me against it!!

    Never had Tur/Duck/eN. Seems like too much trouble unless the other meat is already cut up when put inside. Turkey is fine by me.

    It’s up there with Jalapeno watermelon salsa (yuk) in dumb ideas that chefs come up with these days.

    The turkey, duck and chicken are ordinarily boned out first, then layered together along with dressing between each bird. Sewn up at the last into a turkey shape before roasting.
    And no, the ducks aren’t harvested from sewer ponds – they’re usually commercially-raised ducks.
    P.S. Having friends who’ve hunted over the years, I’ve never had a bad-tasting wild duck.

    In a particularly memorable passage from Gore Vidal’s “Lincoln”, Abe’s secretary John Hay takes a friend out for a duck dinner. This particular restaurant always got their ducks from a swamp where much wild celery grew, so they had a hint of celery in thir flavor.

    I’ve had turducken and it’s pretty good.
