Destroy the Nuge

Some people like to make Turducken for Thanksgiving, which is a duck inside a chicken inside a turkey. Other people prefer the Jimmy dean breakfast sausage on a stick surrounded by a chocolate chip pancake. One thing is clear: If you can put something made of food inside something else inside of food, it makes everything better.

Recently, a friend sent me this recipe:

Whole Stuffed Camel

In a cookbook called International Cuisine, presented by California Home Economics Teachers, 1983 (ISBN 0-89626-051-8), you will find:

Stuffed Camel

1 whole camel, medium size
1 whole lamb, large size
20 whole chickens, medium size
60 eggs
12 kilos rice
2 kilos pine nuts
2 kilos almonds
1 kilo pistachio nuts
110 gallons water
5 pounds black pepper
Salt to taste

Skin, trim and clean camel (once you get over the hump), lamb and chicken. Boil until tender. Cook rice until fluffy. Fry nuts until brown and mix with rice. Hard boil eggs and peel. Stuff cooked chickens with hard boiled eggs and rice. Stuff the cooked lamb with stuffed chickens. Add more rice. Stuff the camel with the stuffed lamb and add rest of rice. Broil over large charcoal pit until brown. Spread any remaining rice on large tray and place camel on top of rice. Decorate with boiled eggs and nuts. Serves friendly crowd of 80-100. —Shararazod Eboli Home Economist, Dammam, Saudi Arabia

I guess what I mean to say, Ted Nugent has released a new album, and the truth is that he hasn't had a good song since "Journey to the Center of the Mind" when he was in the Amboy Dukes. Also, I hate Ted Nugent.
