Canard a la Papelbon

In matters culinary I of course defer to the estimable Alan Richman, but this is as much a sports as a food story.  From yesterday's Boston Globe, an interview with Red Sox pitcher Jonathan Papelbon:

Papelbon regaled reporters with tales of duck hunting last month with New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning in Manning's hometown of Drew, Miss.... "What I do," Papelbon said, "[is] marinate [the duck] in Coke and Italian dressing, right. What the Coke does, the carbonation takes out all the game flavor. So you marinate it in Coke and Italian dressing in a Ziploc bag. Then what you do, you slice up a breast, quarter it in fours, and then you wrap those four little nuggets in bacon, jalapeno, and sour cream, so you wrap it all in a piece of bacon, throw it on a grill. It's amazing."

That recipe is so irredeemably, so unapologetically, so elaborately redneck that it verges on genius.  It's almost Wylie Dufresne territory.
