“ | This
massive roast, the proud creation of Devon farmer Anne Petch, weighs
almost four stone (more than most airlines' baggage allowance), costs
$1,318.88 USD, and has enough meat to serve 125 people.
It contains about 50,000 calories and takes more than eight hours to cook in an industrialducksized oven.
The roast contains turkey, goose, chicken, pheasant, partridge, pigeon
squab, Aylesbury duck, Barbary duck, poussin, guinea fowl, mallard-and
quail with herb and fruit stuffings.
"It takes about 45 minutes to build the roast. However, it takes at
least three hours before that to bone the birds and another couple of
days to make all the stuffings. ... now that really IS a Christmas dinner

For a few years, a few years ago, I took to boning
the entire chickens and stuffing it. I mean, there were no
bones left, so you could carve it in half. Took a lot of time to
do it properly, and maintain chicken looking integrity, but this .... ay
carumba.
