Pigeon. Who the fark eats pigeon? You might as well go out and catch some sewer rats.

The "turkey" is dead. It's not going to be serving anyone.

eqtworld: a thousand bucks for 125 people? that is not bad.

That is only $64.99 a person.

/I could buy that and freeze it, then I would not have to go to the store for 6 months.


I'm coming up with an $8.00 per person figure, which sounds much more reasonable.

Oh God, that just isn't right. It looks like cake when you cut it and serve it to someone.

125 people each get almost a half pound of meat from this 56 lb creation. Not too shabby, but really, I would say no one will get a piece from each bird. One or two people might get 3 or 4 different meats, but that's it.

They need to wrap that thing in bacon. That would make it perfect.

I'll have whatever piece doesn't have pigeon in it, thx.

it takes at least three hours before that to bone the birds

I know how they feel.

looks pretty small in the picture for it supposedly being 12 birds.

There are wild pigeons with hunting seasons. Like mourning doves, but with enough meat to make them worth all the hassle.

Do you think it's possible to improve bacon with more bacon? If we can do that, we can dominate the world.

Theres one thing that cant be improved with bacon. Bacon. You cant improve bacon. You can only get more of it.

Reading the list of birds made me think of this:

From the article:
"There's no doubt it's a very impressive thing to serve. But much as I enjoyed it, the impression is better than the taste."

I concur. I've had turducken, and while the idea of several different species of birds stuffed inside each other is very decadent, the taste isn't something that makes me want to make it annual thing. It's not bad, but I'd rather eat a supermarket rotisserie chicken.

Deep-fried turkey, on the other hand, is actually an improvement over roast turkey in flavor, succulence, and texture. Plus it cooks faster. And the very real possibility you might burn your house down makes it perfect for a festive occasion.

You might find pigeon served in restaurants as "squab". That's the preferred eating term.

They would eat haggis stuffed with spotted dick after eating toad in a hole for breakfast. If it is small enough and slow enough those people will put it in their mouths. They just plain dont draw a line.

I agree. They at least had my attention up until the point they mentioned the urban dodo bird. I farking hates these birds and I remember I was afraid to eat at KFC for a whole year when there was that rumor that they were serving fried pigeon instead of chicken. Anybody else remember that.

 
superdude72 2007-12-16 12:14:47 AM  
The one advantage of this kind of preparation is that it's good for serving a large crowd. Because all the bones have been removed, you don't have to carve it--just slice it like a meat loaf.

Sarge- "Are any of you familiar with the Turducken?"
Griff- "Yeah, that's what I do when i visit the monkey house at the zoo and make them mad."
Simmons- "Not turd ducking, a turducken. It's a chicken in a duck in a turkey."
Church- "Yeah, because the holiday isn't quite gluttonous enough on it's own."
Griff- "Sounds awesome, that what we're having?"
Sarge- "Nope, although impressive, I decided they stopped short when designing the turducken."
Church- "Yeah, they seem like real underachievers their."
Sarge- "So I decided to make my own variety."
Church- "What's that, a pole cat stuffed in a possum?"
Sarge- "First we start with a humming bird-
Griff- "A what?"
Sarge- "- put that in a sparrow, stuff them both in a cornish hen, then put that in a chicken. Put all that in a duck, then in a turkey, then that in a bigger turkey."
Griff- "Two turkeys?"
Sarge- "Hey, it's Thanksgiving. Put that in a penguin, stuff that in a peacock, then an eagle, shove it all in an albatross, then an emu, next comes an ostrich, then a leopard, put all that in a pterodactyl, then stuff all that in a Boeing 747."
Church- "Cool, I get a wing."
Simmons- "I call a turbine."
Sarge- "All right, hunker up guys. Hey Griff, what kind of meat do you like, first class or coach?"
Church [i think]- "You know, if we cook this thing at 350 degrees at 10 min a pound, it's not going to be done for another 11 yrs."
Sarge- "That's why we're going to deep-fry. [sound of large tanker horn] There's the oil now."
Simmons- "What was that leopard for?"
Sarge- "Presentation."

The world may never know. You can only stack crispy bacon six or so high before it is eaten.

The real trick was stuffing in the 10 maids a-milking. First of course you had to find 10 maids which wouldn't be missed. Which let me tell you, was no easy task.

Then you had to find a way to stuff them in without tearing the whole thing apart. I'll give you a hint: Butter.

The pigeons you see rooting through garbage cans were originally brought to the Americas by Europeans as a food source. Pigeons are kosher, and turtle doves (a species of pigeon) are the only bird that can be used a korban, or ritual sacrifice of the ancient Hebrews. I think they're just calling them pigeons for effect though. Usually domesticated pigeons are called squabs.

/Yeah, I looked it up in Wikipedia.
