To realise I've completely misunderstood this Christmas dish

[strawberriesplease]

Bear with me as my excuse is I'm vegetarian.

With friends who were talking about their Christmas dinner. Said they were having a three bird roast, and I really thought the birds were all stuffed into each other.

I just couldn't figure out how that happened.

British Three Bird Roast
£20.00
British 1.2kg turkey with chicken thigh and duck breast, Pork, cranberry and port stuffing
it’s not necessary 3 birds, but it’s three type of meat. The above is from Morrisons. Really nice.

😂😂😂🤣🤣

Absolutely grim. So many humans are depraved.

Please explain why is this worse that ending up as KFC or McDonalds nugget, as said previously the birds are unaware?

AH. Since I don't read every message on ever thread, I have managed to miss this. It still sounds rather horrid. But then, I am not overly fond of duck. I don't loathe it, but would NEVER choose to cook it for myself.

id be spitting feathers I think

its all a bit own-brand Henry VIII

Let’s be honest, we’re all winging it

It’s not that much worse but it is pretty depraved. But then I think cooking a baby in its mother’s milk is grim as well (veal in cream sauce anyone?).

Roadrunner?

We are having a 3 fish roast on Christmas Eve.

That's whole Salmon, then lined with smoked Haddock, then the middle is cod.

No grinding or pate involved.

It's delicious!

I'm an enthusiastic carnivore but I have no desire to try one of these. Let alone anything whose name begins with "turd..."

My thoughts too!!

I've heard that cannibals dream of the 'Three Davi(e)s Roast': Warwick Davis, inside Alan Davies, inside Greg Davies.

😂😂 I nearly woke DH up laughing.

The pigeon from Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines

Good call!

I'm adding Kehaar from Watership Down.

Hedwig?

Anyway, I tried a 3 bird roast a few years ago
It was pretty nasty actually.

I thought it was just slices of 3 different birds lol that how clueless I am but I've never heard of this

I imagine it's more likely that there is more than one method, or perhaps a traditional method and then a modern processed method (eg what you'll probably get in Aldi etc).

I'm not a vegan but the whole thing seems excessively morbid for my tastes, how many things can we kill for one meal sort of sentiments.

That's gross especially with Avian Flu situation.....we normally have Duck or Goose...not this year......

😂😋

not stuffed up each other, though? 😱

I thought it meant having three totally separate bird dishes like turkey, pheasant, and goose. Like having two kinds of turkey, roast and boiled. Or turkey and ham.

It is the most grotesque thing I’ve ever heard of. I don’t want to see what it looks like. This may turn me off even eating roast turkey which I like. Or did like.

In the US we have truducken. A debunked chicken in a duck in a turkey

There are aspects of both. The traditional multi roast was whole de boned birds and there could be loads, 10 or 15, but more recently it's something like a chicken with pieces of other birds, such as a duck breast.

This thread 😂

I’m cackling at the Three Davies Roast, the debunked chicken and ‘annellini’.

What was the chicken lying about? And what shape is ‘annellini’? Little stars?

😂😂😂

It looks and sounds absolutely gross. I'll stick to my maple cola gammon.
