Cockentrice is a dish consisting of a suckling pig's upper body sewn onto the bottom half of a capon.[1] Alternately, the front end (head and torso) of the poultry is sewn to the rump of the piglet to not waste the other half.[2] Other animal combinations were also made, although not so named.[3] The cockentrice was basted with a mixture of egg yolk and saffron during the roasting or covered with gold foil; it was also filled with a similar mixture to have a gilded inside. The dish originates from the Middle Ages[2] and at least one source attributes the Tudor dynasty of the Kingdom of England as its originator.[4]
Cockentrice or cockentryce is only one version of the dish's name. The original name was cokagrys or cotagres, a portmanteau of "cock" and grys, a suckling pig. Other spellings from the period include koketris, cocagres and cokyntryche.[2] The name also references the mythical cockatrice,[3] a dragon with a cock's head.

Time Machine Chefs is a television special that originally aired on ABC in which four celebrity chefs were challenged to cook against each other using ingredients and tools belonging to a historical era. The program was divided into two rounds; the first challenged the chefs to create a Peking duck in 16th century China during the Ming Dynasty and the second saw the chefs create a Cockentrice in 1532 in the House of Tudor.
Turducken is a dish associated with Louisiana, consisting of a deboned chicken stuffed into a deboned duck, further stuffed into a deboned turkey. Gooducken is an English variant, replacing turkey with goose. The term turducken is a portmanteau of turkey, duck, and chicken. The dish is a form of engastration, which is a recipe method in which one animal is stuffed inside the gastric passage of another—twofold in this instance. The thoracic cavity of the chicken/game hen and the rest of the gaps are stuffed, sometimes with a highly seasoned breadcrumb mixture or sausage meat, although some versions have a different stuffing for each bird. The result is a fairly solid layered poultry dish, suitable for cooking by braising, roasting, grilling, or barbecuing. The turducken was popularized in America by John Madden, who promoted the dish during NFL Thanksgiving Day games and, later, Monday Night Football broadcasts. On one occasion in November 2002, the commentator explained the turducken to Al Michaels and ABC viewers, including what the dish is made from, and how to slice it properly. Madden also sawed through a turducken with his bare hand, live in the booth, to demonstrate the turducken's contents. Madden ate his first on-air turducken on December 1, 1996, during a game between the New Orleans Saints and St. Louis Rams at the Louisiana Superdome. During his first season as an NFL broadcaster in 2024, Tom Brady was introduced to turducken during a FOX Thanksgiving broadcast. Brady wondered how the chicken and duck got roped into the turkey, and sampled the dish. Brady was impressed with the flavor, and said "That's amazing!"

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
