    Help me out. I hear Rajun Cajun does one, but I'm curious if anyone has any better suggestions.

    Thanks.

    I haven't tried the Rajun Cajun one, but the one at Hebert's is pretty darn good.

    I second Hebert's turducken! You should also try out their stuffed chickens too.

    I've never had one.

    Maybe I should've put a poll on here...

    Try Hebert's on Dairy Ashford and I-10 Shopping Center next to the Sonics on Dairy Ashford South of I-10.

    I haven't either -- I was just being a grinch clown. But I have always thought turducken was a little too much gimmick, not enough thinking about excellent food.

    Duck is amazing -- why combine it with turkey and chicken, unless you are just goofing? If you do it, get a quail to put in the very middle, and then a dragonfly in the quail's mouth or something. One up your guests.

    I suggest making a Scroon instead.

    Squirrel inside a rabbit inside a raccoon.

    Turducken? Pfft!

    The True Love roast is where it is at:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/devon/7164860.stm

    A Devon farm has concocted a 12-bird roast that takes 10 hours to cook and can feed up to 125 people.

    The roast weighs 25kg (55lb) and is believed to be one of the biggest multibird meals in the country.

    Anne Petch, of Heal Farm in Kings Nympton, said they wanted to make a dish with a "wow factor".

    The £665 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 multibird 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 realised what a crazy idea it was."

    She said they were aiming for a 21-bird roast for next year.

    Multibird roasts are a centuries-old style of cooking that is becoming increasingly popular.

    The supermarket Waitrose said demand for their £200 four-bird roast was up 50% this year.

    It is defnitely gimmicky, but it is good. Definitely something different. Gives your guests a choice of what they want or experience 3 tastes and textures at once.

    There is a Chinese delicacy out there that combines 7 types of birds, one inside the other. It starts with a goose or some big ass bird on the outside and ends up with some quail or something.
    Sounds similar.
