Well, I have some mixed feelings about that pheasant identified in Angela's post. How many legs does it have?

African or European pheasant?

Can someone explain this to me:

What's that "flying creeping thing" -- is there supposed to be a comma or perhaps "and/or" in between? How about the "upon all four" -- will I be punished for eating a goose on Christmas? If yes, how severely and by whom?

11:21 Yet among the winged insects that go on all fours you may eat those which have legs above their feet, with which to leap on the earth.

It's the insects with wings that Leviticus is talking about! My questioning of goose and pheasant as "unclean" food based on that 11:21 was completely unjustified. Angela, you are safe.
Still not sure which insects have legs above their feet and which don't. Looks like we need an entomologist here, not a theologist.

That's funny. Never heard of Gooducken, because we Yanks don't eat too many geese. But have certainly heard of Turducken (a turkey stuffed with a chicken stuffed with a duck.)
Regarding duck being a small, greasy chicken: done right, duck is fantastic. Done poorly, it's indeed a soggy, greasy mess. Most halfway-decent restaurants manage to do a passable job. I actually love duck, but I've never cooked one myself, having seen how badly my Mom failed in her few attempts.
