The "Turducken" thread [merged]
 

I'm interested in trying one of these and thought it would be fun to plan a mileage run to go to a store, buy a pre-assembled turducken, and bring it back with me to cook and serve at a later date. A Google search suggests Hebert's Specialty Meats might be a good place to start; they have locations in Houston, Tulsa, and some other locations a little farther from airports. Does anyone have any suggestions of a location that's airport-close?

Thanks.

Surfas in Culver City sells them. Best to call ahead.

Whole Foods

Of course it all depends on what you mean by close. Here's a place that's about 30 minutes from IAH by car. Their turduckens are pretty good and you can order them online if you wish.

Thanks for the replies; I'm always looking for an excuse to go somewhere, so a trip to Texas or Louisiana sounds like fun.

Are you suggesting that a trip to Culver City does not sound like fun?

Not at all, but I do need the miles. :D

More fun than buying one.

you can fly to Seattle and get one at our Whole Foods! I'm off all week, I can drive you :)

I'm actually working myself up to this: http://bacontoday.com/turbaconducken...pped-in-bacon/

... but I'd like an idea how a "real" one is supposed to taste before I go too far off the reservation. :D

I got mine from cajunspecialtymeats.com. Ordered from them twice and really happy with the results. Very tasty! If you order, try out some of their stuffed chicken too, especially the broccoli & rice stuffing one.

I'm gonna just go out and shoot me one :D

I hear they nest near Jackelopes.

I hear the chupacabras like to feed on them.

Tip Top Meats in Carlsbad, CA

Fly directly into CLD via UAX. A few miles down the road is Tip Top and also Legoland and the ocean.

You must get sick of seeing ham and pineapple 'everything' in Hawaii. :D

I thought turkeys done in this way were primarily for Thanksgiving; have they become a 'big event' meal option across the USA?

Keeping the theme tropical, I wonder if there is a seafood equivalent?

This thread is making me hungry. :rolleyes:
(I have only just finished a turkey-free lunch!)
