Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is, without a doubt, my favorite holiday. It's all about food, family, and friends - no religious part to it at all.Like a lot of things here in the States, there's an emphasis on quantity during Thanksgiving. Bigger is better. TV shows leading up to the holiday talk about how to make the perfect Thanksgiving 'feast', and advertisers inundate consumers with images of massive turkeys packed with stuffing on a table with mounds of potatoes, sweet potatoes, greens, and of course, several types of dessert pies.
All of this supports the stereotype that America is a country filled with obese people who don't care so much about the quality of food as long as there is lots of it. I mean, if turkey tastes good, then a lot of turkey should taste better. In fact, if you like turkey, but you also like chicken, and even duck, then why not combine all three? It all ends up in the same place, right?
Happy Thanksgiving!

I am not so convinced by this 'turducken'...
qualita', non quantita'...
Buon appetito...
I agree with Giovanna - there is something very strange abut Turducken. Actually, I prefer the side dishes (sweet potatoes, dressing, and a big salad. And best of all - lots of friends and family around. Happy Thanksgiving.

Clearly you guys need to try a turgoduckmaguikenantidgeonck: turkey, goose, duck, mallard, guineafowl, chicken, pheasant, partridge, pigeon, woodcock
According to wikipedia the record is 17 birds which include a few now protected species. Nothing like the threat of extinction to add that extra flavor to your meal!
or a whole stuffed camel:
