For those who don't know what a turducken is, basically the skin is removed from a turkey. A turkey, duck and chicken are cooked and deboned. Then they are layered inside the turkey skin with dressing until it again resembles a turkey. When cut, the different meats are layered. Expect to feed about 50 people. These are available through mail order.

I have a friend who makes this Turducken, with a bit of a change. She raises many species of poultry and pidgeons. She puts a pidgeon inside the duck inside the turkey.

I'm waiting for her to incorporate her emus!

Something similar is done at Arab wedding feasts. If I remember the order correcly. Fish go inside chickens. Chickens go inside a goat. The goat goes inside a sheep. The sheep goes inside a camel.

Sounds like a tidbit to store away in the trivia section of the brain! Vicki McGaugh

I misspoke on my first posting. Deboned meat is alternated in layers with dressing inside a turkey skin. Then the whole thing is slow-cooked for something like 12-hours. On the Arab wedding feast, would it perhaps be called "camshegoenish"?
