Can't attest. . --Dan Polansky (talk) 12:28, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I would expect osturducken to be the proper spelling for this; although the spelling with "e" is higher currently on Google, many of the hits are just wordlists, and since this has been here since 2009, a good many of those may have just copied it from us. There are plenty of useful hits for the spelling with "u" and I would move the page, but I'm not sure if it's better to move or to make a new page so I'll let others do it.

 * I beg to differ. The version with "u" has way more hits on Google. --WikiTiki89 03:55, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * On second thought it does seem that page moves for this reason are common so I'll do it and if it's bad it's easy enough to revert. Soap (talk) 03:51, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * This is a RFV for "osterducken", not "osturducken". I moved it back, and added to RFV. If you think *osturducken is attestable per WT:ATTEST, please provide attesting quotations at osturducken or Citations:osturducken. --Dan Polansky (talk) 17:25, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * That oster- can also be explained by Ostersonntag, Ostermontag and especially Osterhase. --80.114.178.7 20:19, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * That would be a ridiculous explanation, since it has nothing to do with either ostriches or the English language. --WikiTiki89 20:55, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * That ostrich could be a later folk etymology, and osterducken could have started as a folk etymology for turducken among German speaking immigrants to the USA. --80.114.178.7 22:09, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * That would imply a definition of osterducken as "turducken eaten on Easter", which we don't have. If you can find cites for it, go ahead. --WikiTiki89 22:14, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * If you have cites for your imagined implication, show them. Otherwise please just say that you think something would imply something else. You claimed that an explanation would be "ridiculous", your sense of humour isn't universal. --80.114.178.7 00:03, 12 November 2013 (UTC)


 * There are no citations supporting any sense; I have deleted the entry as RFV-failed. - -sche (discuss) 21:10, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
