Post-Turkey Trailblazers

quiche_turkey.jpg

Artist and David Byrne collaborator Danielle Spencer (not to be confused with the Danielle Spencer who played Dee in What’s Happening!! or the Australian actress/singer Danielle Spencer married to Russell Crowe) has some pretty creative friends. Every November this Danielle Spencer hosts a pre-Thanksgiving dinner party in which guests make a fake turkey out of various eccentric ingredients. Some of them, like the Quiche turkey (pictured) or the sushi turkey look to be even tastier than the fowl they mimic. Others, like the Spam turkey, are great visual gags that seem better left un-carved.

Which category does David Byrne’s “post-punk Guac-a-Bird”, (above), made with avocado gelatin, fall into? Would it make a good sandwich on Friday? Let us know in the comments, and view all the creations here for potential alt-Turkey inspiration. (Via Boing Boing.)

Has Gothamist ever shown a food photo that wasn't out of focus?

 

that 2nd "turkey" looks so wrong.

and #1 to me those photos look in focus.

 

Category: Repulsive.

Why?!? Guac is good. Jello is bad. DO NOT MIX

David Byrne was over in 1989. Go away already.

 

Oh my God, I loved the stuffing turkey, but the sushi turkey looked AMAZING.

 

Sushi turkey? No thank you. Vile uncooked fishies in the shape of a turkey. How un-american. Turkey Turkey for me.

 

Corn pudding turkey....yum. I always like the sides better than the actual bird anyway.

 

not to be confused with the Danielle Spencer who played Dee in What’s Happening!!

hey! hey! hey!

 

That bottom photo belongs in that book "Bad Food made Worse by Bad Photos" or something like that. Looks like something the spawn of Satan might eat on T-Day. And the top one looks way overcooked.
