Wife just informed me that she does not want to eat turducken. She's not a big fan of turkey and, while she likes chicken, she hates duck. (Her late father used to take live ducks into the basement and cut their throats to make czarninia--Polish duck blood soup).
There's no way I can eat a 15 or even 10 pound piece of turkey/duck/chicken/dressing by myself. Even over the course of a week.
And there's nobody else in my family who likes food that's even remotely spicey. And I was thinking turducken stuffed with andouille and other Cajun ingredients.
The Cajun restaurants around here seem to think that shrimp etoufee is some boiled shrimp in tomato soup, poured over rice. Not Cajun enough for you? Just add some cayenne pepper. And a lot more salt.
The pseudo-Cajun "chefs" we have here should be flipping burgers at McDonalds.
Meanwhile, I'm dying to know what real turducken tastes like. I've been wanting to make this for years, but, well, I'm the only one who wants it.
Sigh....
