    Has anyone heard of a Turducken? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turducken) I hadn't until today, but it's a boneless Turkey, stuffed with a boneless duck, stuffed with a a boneless chicken.

     
    Apparently, this is a standard American thanksgiving meal. I'm a Canadian and have never heard of it.

    I'm Canadian, and yup, have heard of it, and eaten some!  My family did it for Christmas dinner a few years ago, when we had a horde to feed.  Bought the thing pre-assembled from a deli.  Took forever to roast though, about 14 hours, since it's so dense.

    And oh yeah, between each layer of meat, is stuffing.  Yum.

    The result was reasonably tasty, but probably not worth the effort.  Had to try it at least once though :) 

     

    I wouldn't call that standard by any means. But there's always one featured on a holiday football game hosted by John Madden. I alway thought it was some joke, til I saw the recipe. But it is NOT a standard.

    Ah gluttony.

    We here in Australia are not celebrating Thanksgiving.  Instead, we have an even better arrangement going at the moment - it's called "The Ashes".  This is when we all pretend to work for 5 days, but instead we're really watching the cricket on our USB TV boxes.  We get away with this because our bosses are doing the same thing.

    We have this "The Ashes" in the UK too, but it's different over here - we all pretend to be ill for 5 days so can't go to the office, but instead we're staying up all night watching the cricket and sleeping during the day. We get away with this because our bosses are doing the same thing. ;-)

    You lot had a good first day, but I have an inkling Harmy is going to get himself together today...

    You could hardly call it a celebration now could you? It's almost enought to make me glad I live in a country where I can't watch it. 

    I'm kind of glad that it's not on terrestrial TV here in the UK - the depression doesn't last as long when you only get the edited high(low?)lights.  I think our best hope might be the Now Show's suggestion of a nuclear power station somwehere in Europe going China Syndrome and popping up in the middle of the pitch and causing the match to be abandoned. :-/

    nah, learnt Malay in Primary School, and picked up a bit of Mandarin during a misspent youth : )

    Well, there are those of us on the US side of the border that eat the Turducken, but it's far from standard.  It's actually relatively new -- and most people think it's dumb.  The standard main course is still a big turkey stuffed with dressing (also called, stupidly, "stuffing").

    Both in USA and Japan today everybody is celebrating Thanksgiving Day. Americans are thanking Japaneese for all this amazing Nissans and Toyotas and Japaneese thanking Americans for Herosima and Nagasaki :P

    The Japanese opened the holidays in 1941 with some rather spectacular fireworks at Pearl Harbor.  We simply responded, in kind, with some fireworks over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Made in America, tested in Japan, inspired by a blatant act of war.

    I'm thankful we are at peace with Japan.  Ferocious and determined fighters.  May both of our lands enjoy peace and prosperity for many years to come.

    [snip]...The standard main course is still a big turkey stuffed with dressing (also called, stupidly, "stuffing").

    I wouldn't call that stupid. Meat dishes are no longer prepared with "dressing" since dressing has now taken the connotation of "oil-based spiced sauce used primarily for salads" which is properly called "salad dressing" but has now become shortened and the default type of dressing. Stuffing is now the unambiguous term to describe a savory bread or meat dressing for baked goods. 

    What can you do? Captcha: shizzle, my nizzle.

    That is already the case where I work.  Some people don't drink coffee and resent social club money being spent on it.  Wowsers with their fancy sleep...

    Here in 2011, it's kind of funny to look at the posts taking about how easy it is to defeat the CAPTCHA, right above where the spam starts. I particularly liked the spam where the spammer talks about his data processing childhood and how his father loved the data processing service sea.
