My wife, who favors culinary engineering projects more than I, recalls reading a recipe (or maybe a description) for a deboned fowl that was stuffed with successively smaller deboned fowls (as an example, though not necessarily what she remembers, might be a turkey stuffed with a chicken which is in turn stuffed with a Cornish hen, all deboned).
At her direction, I looked through my rather extensive collection of cookbooks and clipped recipes with no success. The only thing I did find was Julia Child's melon ball chicken which features a deboned chicken stuffed with seasoned ground chicken meat. (We made that 10 or so years ago, and it was very good.)
Has anyone heard of this poultry equivalent of the nested puzzle box? What is it called? Do you have a reference to a recipe?
This is not my kind of cooking, but continued marital bliss requires that I post the question to this esteemed group of culinary devotees.
