I didn’t bother sending Thanksgiving foodie pics because I know you all pretty much had the same awesome stuff. I know everyone cooked or was cooked for yesterday. YUM! If I repurpose leftovers in a fun way I’ll probably yammer about that. In the meantime, I was impressed with this bit from NPR and thought I’d share. Ridiculous!
In 1807, Grimod de la Reynière put out a recipe for rôti sans pareil, the roast without equal.The daredevil-ish recipe calls for a tiny warbler stuffed in a bunting, inserted in a lark, squeezed in a thrush, thrown in a quail, inserted in a lapwing, introduced to a plover, piled into a partridge, wormed into a woodcock, shoehorned into a teal, kicked into a guinea fowl, rammed inside a duck, shoved into a chicken, jammed up in a pheasant, wedged deep inside a goose, logged into a turkey. And just when you think a 16-bird roast is probably enough, it's not. This meat sphere is finally crammed up into a Great Bustard, an Old World turkey-turned-wrapping paper, for this most epic of poultry meals.
