Tom Brady ate Turducken for the first time on live television Thursday.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion was presented with the John Madden popularized dish by his colleague Kevin Burkhardt during FOX Sports' broadcast of the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys game. The duo proceeded to bite into the bird's legs on-air.
“Here it is Tom Brady,” said Burkhardt. “It’s your first official Turducken, what do you think?”
Brady appeared to love the unconventional dish.
“Oh, that’s good! That’s really good. Wow,” said the all-time great quarterback.
“By the way, that’s amazing.”
Turducken is a portmanteau of turkey, duck, and chicken. Aptly named, as the dish is a deboned duck, stuffed into a deboned chicken, stuffed into a deboned turkey.
The tradition of including Turducken in American Thanksgiving football broadcasts was started by Madden, who first ate it on-air on Dec. 1, 1996, during the broadcast of a New Orleans Saints and St. Louis Rams game at the Louisiana Superdome.
