New York City tavern owner Paul Hurley said he'll unveil what he is calling the nation's first 100-proof turkey on Monday. A spokesman for the owner of O'Casey's Tavern in Midtown Manhattan said that the bird is infused with fruit-flavored and 100-proof Georgi vodka for three days before being cooked. The flavors of vodka include peach, raspberry, cherry and apple. The gravy is also laced with the distilled liquor. ... (more...)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turducken Quote The largest recorded nested bird roast is 17 birds, attributed to a royal feast in France in the early 19th century (originally called a Rôti Sans Pareil, or "Roast without equal") - a bustard stuffed with a turkey, a goose, a pheasant, a chicken, a duck, a guinea fowl, a teal, a woodcock, a partridge, a plover, a lapwing, a quail, a thrush, a lark, an Ortolan Bunting and a Garden Warbler.[3] The final bird is small enough that it can be stuffed with a single olive; it also suggests that, unlike modern multi-bird roasts, there was no stuffing or other packing placed in between the birds. This dish could not be legally recreated in the modern era as many of the listed birds are now protected species.

I would think the only bird(s) you could stuff with a turkey would be an emu, cassowary, or a rhea. Title: Re: 100 Proof Turkey Post by: stroh on November 23, 2009, 03:43:15 PM LOL

Hmm, I thought about adding "Eat a bustard" to my Bucket List, but upon further review, overruled myself.

Well, if you'd all thought about the actual need to stuff one bird up another birds' butt, then up another birds' butt and so forth, so that you'd have a 17 bird nested roast, then maybe some of these birds might not be endangered??!! Damn you 19th Centuary French decadence!!! |
