A gobble gobble here and a quack quack there, here a cluck there a cluck, everywhere a turduck...hen

I got up early this morning to take some pictures, but as you can see from the picture above, it was waaaay early, and too dark to get anything, unless I used a flash.

Now, on to the meat of the entry!

Arkansas is a big ol' meat-eatin' state. You should see the size of the meat sandwiches they eat. The restaurants brag about this-or-that kind of meat sandwich being "hubcap" size, and they're not lying! Who could eat that?

They even eat meat soup. But they call it chili. And don't put beans in it--a true Arkansas Chili Eater will not eat his meat soup if it so much as touches a bean.

Now that Thanksgiving is here, Arkansas falls into a frenzy over that special Arkansas-Louisiana-Texas gourmet delicacy, the turduckhen. It's a boneless hen stuffed in a boneless duck stuffed in a boneless turkey. I'm not making it up. Go ahead, click here, and you'll see.

Some people just can't get enough meat, I guess.
