Cowporken: New Thanksgiving Dish

[crabapple]

So someone was joking about an imaginary dish called "Cowporken," sort of a joke on "Turducken," the turkey duck chicken dish.

Cowporken, of course, would be beef and pork and chicken somehow combined. Ha ha! Funny joke! But right now, this very moment, I have some cowporken baking in the oven. And tomorrow, some people are gonna try it! For the first time!

I took the meat off a whole cooked chicken, chopped it up a bit, kneaded it in with a bunch of hamburger seasoned with a lot of garlic, and then chopped up a bunch of cooked pork sausage and mixed that in. Baking it should join the whole thing together. I think maybe you could eat it with stuffing.

:eek::cool:

Oh! Okay--okay. I did not get a picture of it, was rushing around. But I assure you it looked just like a meatloaf, because that's what it was! You could see the chicken chunks and the slices of natural pork sausage nestled within the ground beef. After cooking it was brushed several times with apple juice for moisture and sweetness, and sprinkled with ground black truffle.

I took it to a party and it disappeared amongst many other dishes, but I mentioned it to some people and they thought the idea was funny. Turns out it was sliced up and distributed to many serving plates with turkey, stuffing and other things. So people at it without knowing exactly what it was!

I found the pan later, about 70% of the loaf was gone. Seriously, I don't think it tasted as good as the turkey or the ham that was present, but people ate it somehow! So that's cool.
