This is my favorite post on riu
He (or she), is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. We are graced on the divine time table with their presence.

Oh, so even beyond turducken:
ROTI SANS PAREIL
A good place to start for culinary wackiness is, always, the French, and they do not disappoint. The Almanach des gourmands, published in 1807, has a recipe, or at least a description, of a Roti sans pareil, an insane combination of seventeen birds, all stuffed one inside the other. It begins innocuously enough, suggesting that the cook begin by taking a "good olive stuffed with capers and anchovies, marinated in virgin oil, and then put inside the body of a garden warbler." But then the birds start piling up--warbler, ortolan, lark, thrush, quail, lapwing, plover, partridge, woodcock, teal, guinea fowl, duck, chicken, pheasant, goose, turkey, and, containing them all, a bustard (something like an old world turkey). And then, as if there might be room for anything else, the author recommends filling in the gaps with figs, sausages, or any good savory stuffing.
One French writer even came up with a romantic use for such a monstrosity--one character in Les etrennes de la Saint-Jean sends a roast made of (in descending order) a cow, a pig, a calf, a sheep, a turkey, a chicken, a partridge, an ortolan (seemingly skipping a few steps), and a lark to one's objet d'amour, with this note attached:
If the contents of this package are agreeable to Mademoiselle, I would prefer the lark to the ortolan, partridge, chicken, turkey, sheep, calf, and pig, and would think myself more satisfied than the stuffed cow himself.

Ortolan never appealed to me.

Is it the custom of the napkin over your head(latent Catholic shame) or the pointless audacity?
I'm far more prosaic, it was the bones.
