Any artists out there?

I looked it up and... there are so many recipes! Who even has time to prepare that?

That’s so pretty! I love how you’re posting your lovely art while we discuss the philosophy behind the turducken XD.

Yea, lol. I forgot to post it yesterday, so I just went ahead and posted it, after reading a fair amount of this highly interesting discussion.

Ehh might as well...
I like the pencil a lot better, but I made them digital so I could color them.
I did a lot more but they’re other people’s characters.

here’s a sample of the pencil...

And for some reason this thread made me want to draw a d’Uccle.

There is also something called kiviak, that is eaten by the Inuit in Greenland. It is a seal skin stuffed with 400-500 whole auk birds, then left to ferment under a pile of rocks for 3-18 months. It is then eaten raw. Not something that sounds particularily appetizing; not to me at least.

Try to draw an eye? Why would anyone do that?

Depends on the size of the chicken and duck

It ferments. Most people don't realize you have a lot of wacky bacteria in your stomach that helps your food digest, including some sketchy things like specific strains of strep (like strep throat). Some bacteria is good for you.

These same bacteria and some yeasts and molds, if given a hospitable environment, can grow and take over food products changing the flavor. We do a lot of those things in our food - yogurt, cheese, kimchi, kefir, kombucha, fermented hot sauces and mustards, alcohol, many salamis and sausages, etc. These things have been around for thousands of years too. Because the bacteria, yeasts and molds that DON'T hurt us are so plentiful the ones that DO hurt us can't compete and die out... Or in the case of things like yogurt or kimchi, the environment isn't suitable for them to live in, but is suitable for the bacteria we do want (yogurt is heated, kimchi is too acidic, etc).
