To-WHAT-en??
You’ve heard of turkeys and Tofurkeys, right?
Perhaps you’ve heard of turkuden, perhaps not. Here’s a description from the web page linked in the previous sentence:
What is turducken? It is a chicken stuffed inside a duck which is then stuffed inside a turkey. The term turducken comes from the combination of tur(key), duck, and (chick)en.
What happens when you make a turduken made with soy beans and wheat gluten (other than problems for celiacs)?
The answer is Tofucken.
And no, I’m no’tofucken kidding. I came upon it in a post on Serious Eats called “Tofucken, the Vegetarian Turducken, and Other Interesting Meat Marriages“. My reaction when I read the post: Laughter, the thought “I MUST blog this and share as widely as possible”, and more laughter. Then I started blogging and bad puns such as “no’tofucken” popped into my head. Then I laughed some more at my own puns and at the word “tofucken”. Serious Eats picked it up from a website called “Table Manners”. How’s that for irony?
Yes, sometimes I’m uncouth but the fact that I use such a word and know what it means speaks for a general presence of “couth”. This reminds me of the time that someone told me that I’m not vacuous because I know what it means and can spell it. Smrt, I am, and you know that Homer would be all over this “tofucken” until he found out what it is.
I’ve digressed.
