OK. So this requires kosher chicken, turkey, and duck, to begin with. All fairly available, though the duck a little less so. Then kashering them. Then deboning then. Then making I guess farfel stuffing -- regular stuffing wouldn't be kosher for Passover. Assembling, and shipping. All within a facility that's been all cleaned for Passover.

I can imagine a company making a kosher Turducken. But I can't imagine that the demand for kosher Turducken is big enough that the company can afford to do all the cleaning and new utensils and stuff required for making kosher for Passover stuff. Most smaller kosher companies will just shut down for the week -- it's mostly just the bigger companies that can afford to make special runs of Passover stuff.

There are pictures of me wearing the matching scarf, but I was very young.

Turducken for Passover? No reason not to have it, I guess. And yet, it doesn't seem right. Possibly delicious, but not right.

I just filled out a survey for my former physics dept, including some mild criticism. It's weird to think about. I've not gone back to any of the reunions and I probably will continue not to. It was an overall good experience, and I remember the dept with pride. They did me good up until the end, but I'm not sure who is culpable there. Partly me and my intense privacy and unwillingness to ask for help, part them and a lack of a formal exit strategy. But I'm done with that.

But I signed my name anyway.

I just googled that up myself. Way too much money for a novelty meal, but having a source for kosher duck could come in handy.

Perhaps I should reveal at this point that I have a goose I need to cook that I bought for no reason whatsoever so I should maybe not be trusted with the mail-order poultry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm vaguely freaked by the K-for-P Turduckens, but even more so by the fact that they're organic and free range. It's like wanting the maximum of purity in the most insanely unnatural form imaginable.

It's from the place in Boston where we usually get a lot of our Passover stuff anyway. (Our Passover meal is usually mostly prepared stuff, with one or two home-made dishes. My aunt hasn't had the energy for cooking a full Passover meal the past bunch of years, and they keep kosher so we can't bring stuff that we cooked at home, either, and usually the timing doesn't work out right for other family members to cook stuff in her kitchen, although we have done that a few times.)
