"Happy Turducken Day!", Inside the Classics.
The ever-resourceful Wikipedia, discusses a "a traditional Bedouin wedding dish" called - wait for it - whole stuffed camel:
a culinary delicacy composed of a medium-sized camel stuffed with a sheep or a lamb stuffed with other foods both animal and plant.Snopes also gives this mega-meatfest some coverage. One of their sources, Richard Sterling's The Fearless Diner, elaborates on the ingredients of one such dish, byway of someone who claimed to have prepared it for "some sheik or other":
He told me how he stuffed the camel with six sheep, stuffed the sheep with chickens, and the chickens with fish. He told me how it took 24 hours to cook, and that he served it on a silver platter in the shape of a recumbent camel.Sterling previously remarks that
The ultimate cookout was a reality. The only thing that could possibly be greater would be to spit-roast a giant squid.I say, bring it on!
How awesome would it be seeing a giant squid, pierced right through with the biggest harpoon you ever saw, slowly roasting over an open flame on a beach?
Now that's a fuckin' party!
Or, at the very least, chop it up to make the biggest damn calamari rings you ever saw! I'm talkin' Dunlop tire huge! Awesome!
