 Did You Know?
NFL sportscaster John Madden is known for many things, and one of those things is popularizing the turducken. For those who don't know, a turducken is, well, a deboned turkey stuffed with a deboned duck, which is stuffed with a deboned chicken. When Madden first ate one in 1997, he ripped into it with his bare hands. That's not how most people eat their turduckens, but as Madden explained in the New York Times, "The first one I ever had I was doing a game in New Orleans. The P.R. guy for the Saints brought me one. And he brought it to the booth. It smelled and looked so good. I didn't have any plates or silverware or anything, and I just started eating it with my hands." So smitten was Madden with the Cajun delicacy, he regularly eats one during the Thanksgiving Day game broadcast.
Oh, and some people call it a chuckey too.
