Topics
Robert Lamb: 本期节目探讨了历史上一些奇特的节日菜肴，例如15世纪欧洲的cockentrice（由烤乳猪和鸡肉缝合而成）以及现代的turducken（由鸭、鸡和火鸡组成的三鸟烤肉）。这些菜肴的制作过程复杂，体现了人们对食物的创造力和对社会地位的追求。此外，节目还讨论了与这些菜肴相关的其他话题，例如中世纪传说中的cockatrice怪兽以及孔雀在不同文化中的象征意义。 Robert Lamb还提到，在食物充裕的环境中，人们对食物的追求已经超越了满足基本需求，转而追求食物的象征意义和社会地位的提升。通过制作和分享精美的食物，人们可以提升自己的社会地位，这是一种普遍存在的社会现象。 Joe McCormick: 节目中提到了cockentrice和cockatrice的区别，前者是一种菜肴，后者是一种传说中的怪兽。节目还探讨了圣经中对cockatrice的描述以及该词的词源。此外，Joe McCormick还介绍了都铎王朝时期其他一些奇特的菜肴，例如煮獾、煮毒蛇等。 Joe McCormick还讨论了turducken的发明者以及类似菜肴的历史渊源。他认为，将肉类互相填充并烹饪是一种典型的“特技食物”，其主要吸引力在于其概念上的新颖性和制作的难度。节目最后还探讨了素食节日肉类替代品tofurkey以及未来人造肉技术的发展前景。
