nineweaving mentions that she knows someone who, for Thanksgiving, is planning to roast a quail inside a duck inside a turkey. I wonder what this would be called, a turducquel? I hit Wikipedia to find out. I am instantly distracted.

I've seen a seven-bird version prepared, but he cheated - sliced the carcasses open during the boning process, laid 'em flat on each other and rolled 'em up, which is not what I call proper stuffing. Tasted nice, though.

I've cooked a couple of three-bird versions, but I bought them pre-prepared (I would say "'cos I'm chicken," but you'd take that as a pun, so I won't).

One of these days...
