Years ago, in what DS calls my "hippie phase", I discovered the book Old Fashioned Recipe Book: An Encyclopedia of Country Living by Carla Emery. In it she discusses how to do almost everything yourself. . . such as slaughtering livestock, preserving produce, etc. She included the following recipes. (Talking about Thanksgiving dinner & stuffing made me think of these.)
Turkey Stuffing
Combine:
3 eggs
1 tsp salt & papper
1 green pepper, diced
1 cup celery, diced
2 1/2 cups popcorn, washed (keep in mind she grows her own popcorn, too!)
3 cups uncooked rice, washed
Mix well. Stuff turkey loosely. Put in oven at 350. Bake until popcorn pops & blows the hind end off the turkey.
This made me laugh. What's even better is that someone actually wrote in that they tried it & it didn't work.
Recipe from a Texas Newspaper
1 whole camel, medium-sized
1 whole lamb, large-sized
20 whole chickens, medium-sized
110 gallons of water
5 Tbl black pepper
salt to taste
12 kilos rice
2 kilos pine nuts
2 kilos almonds
1 kilo pistachio nuts
60 eggs
Skin, trim & clean camel, lamb & chickens. Boil until tender - be sure your pot is big enough! Cook rice until fluffy. Fry nuts until brown & mix with rice. Hard boil the eggs & peel. Stuff the chickens with the eggs & rice. Stuff the lamb with 5 of the chickens & some rice. Stuff the camel with the lamb & more rice. Broil in a large tray & place the camel on top. Place remaining stuffed chickens around the camel. Decorate rice with boiled eggs & nuts.
This recipe is great if you're tired of the same old turkey or ham for holiday dinners.It's guaranteed to excite ohs & ahs from your guests & it's so delicious that you won't have to worry about leftovers!
What a hoot!
Funny, though - no one ever admitted to trying the second recipe!
