I suppose I can see this as making sense, back when it's wasn't
feasible to pick meat from the butcher or local stupidmarket. If
you've gotta cook it, why not have it all done at once and feel
lots of people?

I haven't tried one myself, I just don't see it as being worth the
work and/or money. As the link Bob posted points out, it's quite a
job to create (ya can't just shove each bird up the other's, um,
tailfeather area). Or you can pay $50+ and have it done for you,
hence my distaste at Hubby's suggestion. If God wanted us to eat
Turducken, fowl would have larger rear openings... ;-)
