Totally Over Turducken?

posted by on December 18 at 11:07 AM

How about the True Love Roast? It costs £665, contains 50,000 calories, and includes one type of bird for each of the 12 days of Christmas—plus several different types of stuffing.

You and 125 of your closest friends will have to go to England to eat it, though—US Customs won’t allow meat in from the UK, and it weighs more than the baggage allowance on most airlines.

I think it should be called "yet another good reason to go with Spaghetti Carbonara instead".

Wait, are they all stuffed inside eachother!? That doesn't even seem possible. What do they use for lube, butter?

From the article, it seems that they remove all the bones from the turkey except the legs and wings, and just use the breast meat from the other 11 birds.

Turducken at least uses most of the duck and chicken... same deal too, they remove the bones and wrap the various birds around each other, then sew them back up.

More like a Frankenbird than what you could really call "stuffing one bird into another".
