A regional favorite and a frequent guest on the Thanks Giving or Christmas buffet table. Between each bird there is stuffing - crawfish/cornbread, a seasoned rice and meat mixture, seasoned bread stuffing. The cavity is often stuffed with onions, garlic, celery, carrots, both sweet and hot peppers. A beautiful plate.
From Wiki.
Credit for the creation of the turducken is uncertain, though it is generally agreed to have been popularized by Cajun chef
Paul Prudhomme. The most common claimant is Hebert's Specialty Meats in
Maurice, Louisiana, whose owners Junior and Sammy Hebert say they created it in 1985 "when a local man brought his own birds to their shop and asked the brothers to create the medley".

A New Orleans surgeon, Dr. Gerald R. LaNasa, was locally known for his use of a scalpel in deboning his three birds of choice, sometimes adding pork or veal roasts in the final hen's cavity, thus preserving the turducken tradition as a regional holiday favorite of the southern United States. Andouille sausage and Foie Gras were always key ingredients of the LaNasa creations. The results of Dr. LaNasa's work can be found in the modern day mass-produced turducken or turduckhen (another variation adding or substituting a cornish game hen). His turkey, duck, and chicken
ballotine is now widely commercially available under multiple trademark names. Dr. LaNasa's innovation and success with ballotine, Three Bird Roast and turducken began mid century, expanding in the 1960s and seventies long before many of the popular commercial Cajun/Creole chefs of today took the stage.[

In the United Kingdom, a turducken is a type of
ballotine called a "three-bird roast" or a "royal roast".[

[5][6] and a three-bird roast (a duck stuffed with chicken stuffed with a pigeon, with sage and apple stuffing) in 1990.
[5][6] Multi-bird roasts are widely available.[

Hebert's Meat Market sells their Turduckhen internationally. A major $$$ maker for them.
I always wanted to make a strudel from scratch, and I did that a couple of days ago. Kimchi (vegan, so no fish) and sauerkraut did spring to mind, but ooooh the salt 
There are one or two things I'd like to make, but my allergies and intolerances rule them out, and I don't see the point of making something that I can't eat and enjoy.
