Beware the Turducken

1 Dec 2004

Clearly there are those on the planet, saw the wonders that nature had to offer them, and thought “Wait a moment, there’s something missing!” and followed this with the observation that “Nature has not given rise to the opportunity to catch a turkey which just swallowed whole a duck, the duck having just swallowed whole a chicken!” Unfortunately, for arteries of the world, this person then thought “I can solve this!” and thus was born the Turducken - a chicken stuffed in a duck stuffed in a turkey. Oh dear. That this is an American way of cramming more food into one meal may not come as a surprise, except perhaps to some Glaswegians who probably wish they’d though of it first, only they’d have probably deep fried each stage first. However, not to be outdone, a chip shop in Glasgow has produced a 1000 calorie kabab, and to make sure of its notoriety, the shop in question added a health warning (cheers to Huw for the pointer to this, though he’s meant to be on a diet… ;).

Though, I guess as someone who made mini mars bar tempora I should probably keep quiet. :)
