Salute to the Turducken
Farm creates $943.50 multi-bird roast
A Devon farm has concocted a 12-bird roast that takes 10 hours tocook and can feed up to 125 people.
The roast weighs 55 lbs. and is believed to be one of the biggest multi-bird meals in the country.
Anne Petch, of Heal Farm in Kings Nympton, said they wanted to make a a dish with a "wow factor". The $934.50 creation consists of turkey on the outside, goose, chicken, pheasant, three ducks, poussin, guinea fowl, partridge, pigeon squab and quail. Ms. Petch said the True Love Roast had a bird for each of the 12 days of Christmas. It takes two people to lift.
"Crazy Idea"
"We've been making smaller multi-bird roasts for a while, but I wanted something with a real wow factor." "It was only when I was halfway through the first prototype that I realized what a crazy idea it was." She said they were aiming for a 21-bird roast for the next year. Multi-bird roast are a centuries-old style of cooking that is becoming increasingly popular. The supermarket Waitrose said demand for their $283.00 four-bird roast was up 50% this year.

Poetry in Motion
"Man is a carnivorous production,
and must have meals, at least one meal a day;
he cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction,
but, like the shark and tiger, must have prey..."
- Lord Bryon (1788-1824) Don Juan
Some Haikus:
I love to eat meat
red meat is the best to eat
yummy, yum good meat
It sits on the grill
that delectable burger
I need more napkins
Burger in my mouth
Amazing and heavenly
Wish I could fit more
Meat wonderful food.
Veggies not so fun with bun.
Press meat and bun please.
How tempting is meat?
I hide steak in the basement
And now we all know
Forgive me little
cow, pig and chicken,
soon one of you I'll be picking,
and my lips I'll be licking.
to you I honor,
as I round the restaurant corner.
Before me on my plate,
food you have become,
my delicious mate.

Entree
What you're looking at is what I had for dinner tonight.
I know you don't see any side dishes. You're probably wondering if I had anything else. Well... I did... MORE home-made stromboli.
Enjoy.
Good Luck My Friend

Oh, For the Love of Meat
This blog is an outpouring of my gratitude towards all creatures big and small that can be grilled or cooked over an open campfire flame. This blog is not the end to a means, so... I'm not sure how long it will last.
I will try to add more pictures to enhance the visual stimulation of this blog which is currently overborn by its literary and lyrical stimulation.
Quote of the Day: "There's nothing but TEAM in meat. Go Team!"
