What, no hummers?

A Most Fowl Dinner



Where's Fluffy?

Rollover

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.
