Turducken.

I heard former coach now famed football analyst John Madden loves them.

I heard that Whole Foods will carry them on a test basis this year. The guy at the store says they will go for $5.99/pound and will usually be about 16 pounds. He said you can’t pre-order as they will only get a limited number of them as they want to test the demand for them this Christmas and holiday season.

A Google search for turducken reveals that one can order one sent to your home from such vendors like Cajun Grocer, Cajun Specialty Meats and Cajun Stuff.

By the way, did I mention it is Cajun?

For those who haven’t yet heard, turducken is a turkey stuffed with duck stuffed with chicken.

I’ve never tried it and I’m curious if anyone in our LAFB readership has and what they thought of it?

I suppose I could be bold and part with the big $$$ to buy one to try one. Let’s see … at Whole Food: $5.99 x 16 x $1.085 = $103.99.

Would you spend that much on something you have never tried before?

Perhaps, someone out in LAFB land knows where one might have it as an entree in a restaurant?

Thanks!
