Salute to the Turducken

A Turducken is a dish consisting of a partilly de-boned turkey stuffed with a de-boned duck, which itself is stuffed with a small de-boned chicken. The thoracic cavity of the chicken and the rest of the gaps are stuffed, sometimes with a highly seasoned breadcrumb mixture or sausage meat, although some versions have a different stuffing for each bird.


Farm creates $943.50 multi-bird roast
A Devon farm has concocted a 12-bird roast that takes 10 hours to
cook and can feed up to 125 people.

The roast weighs 55 lbs. and is believed to be one of the biggest multi-bird meals in the country.

Anne Petch, of Heal Farm in Kings Nympton, said they wanted to make a a dish with a "wow factor". The $934.50 creation consists of turkey on the outside, goose, chicken, pheasant, three ducks, poussin, guinea fowl, partridge, pigeon squab and quail. Ms. Petch said the True Love Roast had a bird for each of the 12 days of Christmas. It takes two people to lift.

"Crazy Idea"

"We've been making smaller multi-bird roasts for a while, but I wanted something with a real wow factor." "It was only when I was halfway through the first prototype that I realized what a crazy idea it was." She said they were aiming for a 21-bird roast for the next year. Multi-bird roast are a centuries-old style of cooking that is becoming increasingly popular. The supermarket Waitrose said demand for their $283.00 four-bird roast was up 50% this year.

Poetry in Motion

Poetry in Motion - like a cow running from the farmer or a buck darting through an open field arrayed in orange.

"Man is a carnivorous production,
and must have meals, at least one meal a day;
he cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction,
but, like the shark and tiger, must have prey..."
- Lord Bryon (1788-1824) Don Juan

Some Haikus:
I love to eat meat
red meat is the best to eat
yummy, yum good meat

It sits on the grill
that delectable burger
I need more napkins

Burger in my mouth
Amazing and heavenly
Wish I could fit more

Meat wonderful food.
Veggies not so fun with bun.
Press meat and bun please.

How tempting is meat?
I hide steak in the basement
And now we all know

Forgive me little
cow, pig and chicken,
soon one of you I'll be picking,
and my lips I'll be licking.
to you I honor,
as I round the restaurant corner.
Before me on my plate,
food you have become,
my delicious mate.

Entree

I know what you're thinking about the dinner I had tonight. That's it? I know what you really mean... "That's it." (like James Bond would say it). Oh yeah, that's it!

What you're looking at is what I had for dinner tonight.


I know you don't see any side dishes. You're probably wondering if I had anything else. Well... I did... MORE home-made stromboli.


Enjoy.

Good Luck My Friend

Just a little encouragement. These guys made it five whole days on a raw vegan diet. It would be inconceivable to think that you could not make it seven.


Good luck buddy.

I will try to add more pictures to enhance the visual stimulation of this blog which is currently overborn by its literary and lyrical stimulation.
