A Turducken in every pot

By CHARLES FERRUZZA

I’m sorry, I just won’t eat anything that has the word turd embedded in it, although I almost did, once. That includes, so far, the delicacy known as turducken — although I have friends who say there’s nothing quite like a steaming, golden brown and fragrant … turducken.

The idea of a partially de-boned turkey stuffed with a de-boned duck, which is also stuffed — with a small de-boned chicken — sounds like something flamboyant and grand that might have been served at the court of Henry VIII. Larger than life, as it were.

There’s a local connection to the story of the three-layer bird.
