Why not do something different this Thanksgiving and supercharge that turkey. Instead of the traditional stuffing, stuff the fowl with more fowl. If you haven heard of turducken yet, its stuffed chicken, stuffed in a duck, stuffed into the turkey. It’s kind of like those Russian nesting dolls except with meat. Rarely do you find a dish that is so simultaneously repulsive and enticing and equally rarely (I think) do you get to eat an animal stuffed inside another animal, stuffed inside yet another animal.  Turducken is believed to be Cajun in origin, although it may also have originated in eastern Texas or northern Louisiana. To date, no one from Texas nor North Louisiana has provided proof of this claim, though one business owner has publicly marketed and sold the turducken since 1985. While such elaborate layering of whole animals, also known as a farce, from the French word for "stuffing", can be documented well back into the Middle Ages of Europe, and are even attested in the Roman Empire (e.g. the tetrafarmacum), some people credit Cajun-creole fusion chef Paul Prudhomme with creating the commercial dish. However, no one has ever verified this claim.
Turducken is often associated with the "do-it-yourself" outdoor food culture also associated with barbecueing and shrimp boils, although some people now serve it in place of the traditional roasted turkey at the Thanksgiving meal. Turduckens can be prepared at home by anybody willing to learn how to remove the bones from poultry, instructions for which can be found on the Internet or in various cookbooks. As their popularity has spread from Louisiana to the rest of the Deep South and beyond, they are also available through some specialty stores in urban areas, or even by mail order.
