The Pope's Nose

[merryb]

Anybody use this term? In my family, it meant the little flap of skin
on a turkey's rear...

I think e called it the Bishop's Nose. It sure wasn't anything I wanted to ingest.

Over here, it's called Bischof (bishop) or Bischofsm�tze (bishop's hat).
It means the ass of a chicken which looks exactly like a bishop with his
hat.

The tail, the triangular thingy on the turkey's rear,
not a "flap of skin." If the bird is carefully cooked
it becomes very crunchy and great with fat; really
delicious. People have died fighting over it, and
they exist on all the birds: cornish hen, chickies,
duck, goose and of course turkey, best of them all.

Yes, I know but wasn't really thinking when I wrote that! Not my cup
of tea tho- I'd rather have the first slice of white meat with a
little skin attached. It won't be too long now until we have the
obligatory turkey feast!

It's the term I grew up with. I've since heard a lot of others. It's
the bird's tail actually. It even has little pieces of backbone in it.

Religious terms seem common for that part; it was "Parson's Nose" in my
family but you can keep it :-)

You never tried to take the 'gagool' when my ex-grandmother

Yep. My grandfather used it and passed the expression on down the
family. We come from a long line of people who left The Church. His
grandfather had been a priest.

I don't call it anything except one more part for the broth/stock made from
chickens or turkeys.

Nose. I always cut the tail off before cooking and throw it away.

I like it for hooking the string around when closing up the cavity if
I'm stuffing the turkey.

I don't think I've actually heard the term, I just know it from my crossword
puzzles.

It's a Scots word (but found in other areas, too).

I fry it and just munch the crispy skin off of it.

Here in St. Louis, many of the Chinese takeout joints sell duck tails,
but they don't call them tails. They call them "duck end."

Tomorrow morning is when I get my 10# of chicken wings, minus drummie.

Definitely the Pope's nose in my family growing up.. am just stuffing my turkey and trying to figure out whether to cut it off or not.. ???
I'll probably leave it.. looks fatty, so may add some to the drippings..
