I'll see if I can find out...

Thank you for the huge laugh and the hot apple cider that very nearly came flying out my nose as I read your post! And no, snot is not kosher.

Or is it some sort of mutant pig with legs like birds? Are you trying to start another urban legend, Jon? Doobie already warned you about that stuff, didn't he?

Originally Posted By Mr X Well, I imagine it might be cooked in some sort of pork juice or something...but as far as "mostly", that would mean the meat and I just don't see how that could be. Unless it's some sort of turducken...turporken maybe?

Originally Posted By Mr X **I was told that other than the bone itself, it's not turkey.** That'd be a neat trick then, since the one I ate last month was certainly stubbornly connected to the bone in most places. Sure does taste like ham though. Love it. Mmmmmmmm...Disney porkey leg.

Originally Posted By SuperDry Smoking meat will definitely make it taste like ham, since ham is so often prepared as smoked, I think we've come to associate the two tastes. I once ordered prime rib in a restaurant, not knowing that they smoked it. When I started eating it, it was the oddest sensation. It didn't taste at all like beef (although it had the texture of beef), yet tasted very familiar. I just couldn't place the taste until I was almost done, when I realized that it tasted just like ham. It was astounding how just by smoking it, what looked like beef, felt like beef, and what I knew to beef tasted just like ham. That was the first and last time I ordered beef at that restaurant - any place that would season a nice cut of steak like that has no business preparing it.
