Thanksgiving Quiz (5 pts.)
Read the following and answer the question below.
Just in time for the winter season comes a recipe that is sure to bring bacon lovers some warm holiday cheer. Turbaconducken. That’s right — a chicken stuffed in duck stuffed in a turkey, all wrapped in bacon. Otherwise known as a bacon-wrapped turducken. Just how did we create this meaty madness? It all started with a dream…and a whole bunch of bacon.

When I consider a meat dish that consists of a chicken stuffed in duck stuffed in turkey and then wrapped in bacon, my first thought is:
a) Don't look! It's a conspiracy by the vegans, man. The entire blogging community is sure to spontaneously turn vegetarian after seeing this.
b) They baked it? In the oven? What a bunch of wimps. What this sucker needed was to be deep-fried.
c) There's nothing new about the turbaconducken. There is evidence that the Roanoke Colony in Virginia produced this dish for one of their first meals in 1586. Of course, the colony mysteriously disappeared later without a trace. But not every historian attributes this to a colony-wide combination attack of indigestion and trichinellosis.
d) Hmm, I wonder if I can talk my sister Pam into making that when we go up to visit her next Saturday.

Actually, I thought "turbo-charged duck." Then I thought "duck in a turban." Then I looked at the photo again. Oh. Never mind.

Now if we shove that thing up inside a roasting goat we'll be on our way to something yummy.

It looks like one of the "Art Works" on display in Jeffrey Jones's house in "Beetlegeuse" and likely even creepier...
Are you SURE thsi sin't from the "Tim Burton Cookbook"?
It also looks seriously capable of eating people before they eat it!
Clearly, it does not get along well with the Living...
