It's coming...
I've ordered the birds. They only had frozen in stock, so I make an order. The three meats are going to be ready on December 31st, which means that we may just have a set date for the turduckening. (Wonder why spell check underlines turduckening... IT'S A REAL WORD DAMMIT!)
Work schedules pending, it could likely be happening on JANUARY 2nd!!! The 3rd or later is a no-go because several people wouldn't be able to show up
The butcher people were awesome, if not a little hard of hearing. I placed the order and asked to have it deboned. She was puzzled as to why I wanted a turkey T-boned. I said "No... I want it without bones". She was even more puzzled and asked the main butcher if they can make a T-bone without a bone in the middle.
After the confusion was settled, I explained to the main butcher dude exactly what I wanted:
A 15 pound turkey with no bones except for the wings
A 5 pound duck with no bones
A 3 pound chicken with no bones.
Sooooo excited!!!
Butchers fear me
I spoke to a few different butchers today, and all of them have the exact same reaction to my call:
- Hello - Do you make turducken?
-What?
-Turducken
-What?
-I want to stuff a chicken into a duck, and then stuff that into a turkey
-Ummmmm.... We don't do that here... bye. *click*
I finally found the response I wanted from a butcher shop. When I told him about the dish, he had never heard about it. I told him I wanted to make one, he laughed and said that it was the best idea he's ever heard. So he's officially going to be my bird deboner.
Heh heh... boner.
If I have time before work today, I'm going to pay him a visit.

Here be insane people. Tread lightly.
I've officially lost my mind.
For the past several years, I wanted to have turducken. For those of you who don't know, turducken is the epitome of gluttony. You take a chicken, and stuff it with stuffing. You take that, and stuff it into a duck. This 2-bird concoction is then placed into a turkey. Cook for 10+ hours, and serve 35.
This was finally the time to do it. I started to do some research, but no online stores would ship a turducken to Montreal. I contacted several food critics based out of Montreal, and none of them knew of any stores or specialty butchers where I could obtain the self-contained feast.
Today, I, Brandon Vesely decided to make a turducken myself.
