Unexpected Surprise

[Sneakers]

Seems the only place I can reliably get light cream these days is Harris Teeter, so I stopped in while I was running errands. As I'm walking thru the store, I'm also thinking about what I might do for Christmas and New Year dinners, maybe something different....

And there it was. In the freezer case by seafood. Whole pheasant. Always wanted to try it, and not expensive considering. Slightly larger than a cornish hen, about $8. Then I spot something else, right next to the pheasant.... Turducken. Large turkey breast size, not a whole turkey, just thaw and cook. Kinda pricey, originally $79 marked to $59. What the hell.... got one. Rang it out at the register, $39, and another $5 off with my VIC card. Ok, much better.

So, all set for the holidays.

So are you going combine them to make a Turduckenant?

Well, I got a cheesecake and a box of petit fours, so maybe I can do something with that....add some ice cream...

Are you suuuuuuure?

I made a piecaken for TG years ago - cherry pie wrapped in chocolate cake, covered in chocolate ganache - and everyone raved about it.

 

[Sneakers]

I'll look into it...

 

[Kyle]

Is anyone making Turbriskafil?

 

[Monello]

The southern poultry collage utilizes a pelican instead of the duck.

That sounds like a country Biden just announced as our biggest ally - you know, one that he worked with while Obammys VP for the last 15 years.

Pleasant company and appreciation of your cooking skills. You are bringing the food
I can probably whip up some sides and pop open some cans of Baltic fish fillets. Fresh cake from Slavic store? Wine?

Pha lutefisk. That’s so MidWestern and almost pedestrian.

As soon as travel can be resumed without the vaccine craziness, I’m heading to Iceland to feast on the rotten shark.

I'm thinking you're gonna have to sweeten the pot.

I'm not a picky person when it comes to food but ammonia fish is not going to be on my menu choices.

Random thought:
Regarding the pheasant, I thought maybe the classic 'pheasant under glass'. But if you put it under a glass dish, wouldn't the steam cloud the glass making it hard to see what's under there? And if you let it sit long enough to not fog the glass, it would be unappetizingly cold?

More research....
