Forget the turducken. How many birds-stuffed-in-another-bird make up the "the roast without equal," a legendary 1807 Thanksgiving recipe?

Answer 17

The recipe, created by restaurant critic Alexandre Balthazar Laurent Grimod de la Reynière, starts with a warbler being shoved in a bunting. Then the bunting is stuffed into a lark and the lark into a thrush and — well, let's just say it ends 13 birds later with an Old World turkey called a Great Bustard. Gross.
