Mrs. Beverly Bourque was outraged the first time she heard the phrase "wacky tobacky."
How dare the dope fiends name their vice after her innocent anchovy-and-juniper-filled Whacky Dacky Duck? (The term's first recorded use-- 1976
according to Merriam Webster-- is newer than the recipe from
Blue Ribbon Poultry Cookbook (Favorite Recipes of Home Economics Teachers, 1973), so she certainly didn't borrow their filthy slang.)
She was so upset about the whole thing that she had to steady her nerves by finishing off what was left of the bottle of red wine she used for the marinade, and then maybe part of another one for good measure, and even then she spent the rest of the afternoon mumbling, "It'sh Whacky-Dacky Duck, you degeneratesh."
Now I'm imagining a picture of a duck smoking a pipe with brightly colored bubbles coming out of it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's a cousin of Daffy Duck.
DeleteThis actually looks AMAZING to me. I would try it.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly looks like it would be a lot better than most of the recipes I post.
