[livejournal.com profile] nineweaving mentions that she knows someone who, for Thanksgiving, is planning to roast a quail inside a duck inside a turkey. I wonder what this would be called, a turducquel? I hit Wikipedia to find out. I am instantly distracted.

That would be us, actually, at Household Thanksgiving, to which you are of course invited (it is not on actual Thanksgiving; details through email later).

Which means you may have the chance to sample this animal. I have to admit I was rather surprised when they came home bearing quail. It was on sale. No, really.

Shaw's.

... quail? ... the fuck?

I think there was some kind of dimensional slippage there.

Quail was on sale in IGA a couple of weeks ago. Because of weird scheduling in our house, it ended up being quail pizza, which they totally eat in Orbital Resonance, so that was OK.

In fact, it was very nice.

What else goes on quail pizza? Lox? A most scrabbulous dish!

Oh, that sounds awesome.

Seconding the wonder about what else you put on the pizza.

Does this mean we need to acquire an intermediary pheasant?

Intermediary Pheasant would be a good name for a rock band.

Not as good as Raised By Pigeons, though, which is my new standard.

Here. Page to the bottom of the page and read up.

Yes, I will be obtaining this shortly.

Good Lord, I wish I shopped where you shop. ;-)
