I give you: The [rôti sans pareil.](http://urbandiner.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Almanach_des_Gourmands.jpg) > [@](#): > > [Description by NPR](http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/11/21/365509503/the-3-bird-turducken-has-nothing-on-this-17-bird-royal-roast) > The daredevil-ish recipe calls for a tiny warbler stuffed in a bunting, inserted in a lark, squeezed in a thrush, thrown in a quail, inserted in a lapwing, introduced to a plover, piled into a partridge, wormed into a woodcock, shoehorned into a teal, kicked into a guinea fowl, rammed inside a duck, shoved into a chicken, jammed up in a pheasant, wedged deep inside a goose, logged into a turkey. And just when you think a 16-bird roast is probably enough, it’s not. This meat sphere is finally crammed up into a Great Bustard, an Old World turkey-turned-wrapping paper, for this most epic of poultry meals.

Pizza is not improved by using 17 different toppings. Someone has too much time on their hands, not to mention the simplicity of cooking 17 different layers enough (the bustard is done, but the thermometer doesn’t have Guinea pig…)
