Tur-duck-en, move over


Turducken, you have always captured my imagination and my stomach. For years now, your majesty of stuffed turkey, with duck and chicken seemed awesome, and almost mythical. How awesome can one dinner be? Apparently a lot more, cause it turns out that the turducken is the bitch of birds being stuffed into other birds.









This massive beast is called the Roast without Equal. You thought the turducken was cool having 3 birds? This beast has a total of 17 birds!

Starts off with a bustard, stuffed with a turkey, stuffed with a goose, stuffed with a pheasant, stuffed with a chicken, stuffed with a duck, stuffed with a guinea foul, stuffed with a teal, stuffed with a woodcock, stuffed with a partridge, stuffed with a plover, stuffed with a lapwing, stuffed with a quail, stuffed with a thrush, stuffed with a lark, stuffed with a ortolan bunting, stuffed with a garden warbler. Now thats the last bird, but the inventor of this beast says Im a man, and im going to stuff as much as possible into this thing, so the garden warbler is stuffed with an olive stuffed with anchovies and capers.

I know what youre thinking, this is a meal fit for a real man, and I want it now. Me too!

BUT, many of those birds are on the endangered species list, which makes it even more manly!

  1. You can find any combination of those birds labeled "chicken" at your local Chinese restaurant.
