sorry about your mommy, hope all is well now with that. and that person you spoke with earlier this year really is right -- you do better the more you get yourself out of the past:-)
"The largest recorded nested bird roast is 17 birds, attributed to a royal feast in France in the 19th Century: a bustergophechideckneaealckideverwingailusharkolanine - 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 and a passerine. Since passerine is a generic term, it is not known exactly what kind of bird was used as the smallest in the actual roast, although a pied flycatcher has been suggested. The recipe notes that 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."
I'm glad :) It made mine too.....and now I REALLY want to try a bustergophechideckneaealckideverwingailusharkolanine!
Word problem for a third grade math text book: Assume the rate of stuffing a bird inside a bird stays constant regardless of how large the birds are. If a turducken takes 14 hours to make, how long does it take to make a bustergophechideckneaealckideverwingailusharkolanine?
