Ok so, we are all pigs but GET REAL!


You have heard us mention the bizarre holiday fave" turducken" (a chicken stuffed in a duck stuffed in a turkey) has met its multi-meat match.
The new British wave of pan-poultry extravaganzas. Perrennial faves have included the Waitrose four-bird roast (guinea fowl, duck and turkey breast stuffed inside a goose)
Then TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's ten-bird roast (an 18lb turkey jammed with a goose, duck, mallard, guinea fowl, chicken, pheasant, partridge, pigeon and woodcock) By the way the word woodcock makes me giggle

However.... now some crazy woman Ann Petch has crowded them off the playing field. Her mammoth roast contains turkey, goose, chicken, pheasant, partridge, pigeon squab, Aylesbury duck, Barbary duck, poussin (???), guinea fowl, mallard-and quail with herb and fruit stuffings, takes 8 hours to cook, and serves 125 people, and contains around 50,000 calories.

nerd alert: poussin is a fancy schmancy name for cornish game hen.

Turducken is huge here. I think it's disgusting. LOL

It is just like that old camp song that I remember as a kid.

"There Once Was A Chasis"

It just keeps on building and building and it ends, "Match in the gas tank...boom boom!"

How far are we going to go?

Those look like a candidate for Hellman's High Viscosity Mayonnaise!

They help all those drumsticks slide down without all that pesky chewing.

appropos of nothing (except that I used to love a cajun turducken before I stopped eating meat)...Taffy! I am coming to your neck of the woods tomorrow night. If you want me to professionally stalk you, you must drop me a line!
Taylor has already informed me he isn't available for stalking THIS go 'round but I figure you will be much more fun to stalk while listening to Holsinger's "In the Spring, At the Time When Kings Go Off to War."
