RobertAC Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 My neighbors always serve Martinelli's Sparkling Apple Cider. I have heard that referred to as "Mormon Champagne" by a number of Mormons. 1
RobertAC Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 I want to try a turducken one of these holidays.I don't even want to know what a turducken is made out of. The first four letters in its name have permanently scared me away from it. 2

Calm Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) Now you have put me off them too...Turkey stuffed with duck stuffed with chickenTur-duc-kenhttp://homecooking.a...urduckensbs.htmI love duck, but it is very rich and I think it would add wonderful flavour to the turkey and chicken. Most chicken down here is rather tasteless as I learned after years in Canada, turkey varies...hopefully the organic one we picked up at Costco yesterday will be worth it. My mother thought she was doing us a big favour by bringing up chickens for us one year we were in Canada knowing about the price...not sure she should have actually brought them across the border even in a frozen state, but that is not something she would have thought of and I didn't know she was bringing them until she presented them. They were at least twice as big as any chicken I could get up in Canada and I was thinking this is great until we cooked one and I remembered why we always had to use much heavier seasoning in the States with chicken then up in Canada where it might be more expensive than beef, but at least had rich flavour for what one got. Took me a long time after moving back down here to start liking the chicken. Most places' solution of adding flavour enhancements to the meat (whether chicken, pork or beef) results in such an artificial flavour with an awful aftertaste for me. I never buy anything but seafood at Walmart. And all natural doesn't mean something hasn't been added...always read the fine print. Edited November 22, 2012 by calmoriah 1
