So, my sister just invited my family over tomorrow to eat Turducken. She got one from a friend who owns a restaurant and we are going to have it tomorrow. I've never eaten one and figure it should be a fun experience.

But, in the course of looking up a little bit about Turducken, I accidentally came across the following (http://home.tiac.net/~cri_d/cri/1997/camel.html).


Stuffed Camel

1 whole camel, medium size
1 whole lamb, large size
20 whole chickens, medium size
60 eggs
12 kilos rice
2 kilos pine nuts
2 kilos almonds
1 kilo pistachio nuts
110 gallons water
5 pounds black pepper
Salt to taste

Skin, trim and clean camel (once you get over the hump), lamb and chicken. Boil until tender. Cook rice until fluffy. Fry nuts until brown and mix with rice. Hard boil eggs and peel. Stuff cooked chickens with hard boiled eggs and rice. Stuff the cooked lamb with stuffed chickens. Add more rice. Stuff the camel with the stuffed lamb and add rest of rice. Broil over large charcoal pit until brown. Spread any remaining rice on large tray and place camel on top of rice. Decorate with boiled eggs and nuts. Serves friendly crowd of 80-100.

For Thanksgiving, my nephew, the chef made a turducken, but added a cornish hen and quail to the combination of birds. He used the family cornbread dressing recipe for the stuffing between the layers of birds. It was extremely moist, and very yummy!

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you. When I opened this thread, I thought Earljam had returned. Alas, it was JasonEvans, so all is right with the OT board?:confused:

We ate it tonight. Good god, it was a lot of meat!! But it was delicious! The duck and the sausage stuffing were the best. We could barely find the chicken. The turkey was fine, but tasted pretty much like turkey always tastes.

I'd give it an 8 out of 10 on the yum-yum scale ;)
