In the future, we will all be eating one of these on the fourth Thursday of every November:

It’s called a Turducken. And it is a turkey stuffed with a duck that is itself stuffed with a chicken. (For those who need more than just three types of animals in one dish, there’s also an option to wrap the Turducken in bacon.)

Every Thanksgiving, all good, red-blooded American families should gather around the dinner table together and eagerly feast upon the Turducken. Because that is how the Pilgrims would have wanted it. After all, it was during the great harvest of 1621 when the Pilgrims of Plymouth Rock were finally able to make peace with the Wampanoag Indian tribe by sharing a Turducken. And I’m telling ya, those Indians just couldn’t get enough of it.

Now some noted historians have claimed that the Pilgrims and Indians did not actually share an actual Turducken during that first Thanksgiving harvest - but in fact feasted upon a Turpicoframa - which is a turkey stuffed with some pulled pig pork which is stuffed with some cow hamburger meat which is stuffed with some frog legs which is then all stuffed inside of a llama.

So this Thanksgiving holiday, to all I say enjoy a festive Turducken or if you feel so inclined, a Turpicoframa. Gobble - gobble. Hurl - hurl.
