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?

I actually have that book, authored by Patrick O'Brian fans rabid enough to ransack 18th century cookbooks, apply some guesswork, and come up with recipes for all the stuff that Capt. Aubrey and Dr. Maturin eat.

(It's a work of mighty enthusiasm and misplaced scholarship, equivalent to the Klingonese Macbeth, or the scribblings of the Baker Street Irregulars.)

But, obviously, I haven't read it all the way through, or I'd have recalled the camel thing.

I recall the camel thing from the 60's or 70's era "Guiness Book Of World Records," which I, like many of my peers, spent an inordinately amount of time memorizing.

I think some woman here in the USA had kids at 59. I'm not sure that's a record of merit though.
