In any case, the good people of early modern Europe, roughly the period from 1500-1800, had their own peccadiloes. And one of those was sewing together chimerical animals and then eating them. Which brings us to this photograph:
The specimen above is called a cockentrice (or cockentryce). It is, quite literally, a pig's upper body sewn onto a turkey bottom. The recipe for it dates from the 15th-century, although it was known to be made in later years.

It's a little too American Horror Story for my Thanksgiving table. But it reminds me of that series of photoshopped animal combos that makes its way around every now and then. Can't find the whole series. But this is one of the better ones...

When did Ann Coulter start wearing dog tags?
It's a good look for it.
