Like Matryoshka, Only Edible

So again the holidays approach, and again one hears mention of the festive "turducken," a turkey, stuffed with a deboned duck, stuffed with a deboned chicken.

Has anybody yet served up an ostremuturduckengame-hen?

Dry...

If you could put the turkey inside a goose... or a pheasant inside a duck...

Putting the driest, blandest bird on the outside seems to make a mockery of the whole project.

I've not eaten one, but I'm familiar with the concept.

One traditional solution to the turkey-dry thing is to lather on bacon (plus, the bacon is great snackfood when it finally emerges from the oven), which I suppose in context is sort-of like the preliminary version of stuffing the entire damn thing inside a pig.

Which might just be overkill.
