arabian stuffed camel |
first, procure a camel: with one hump or two, depending upon the size of your party. |
prepare twelve dozen eggs: boiled, shelled and dressed. |
clean about twelve good sized smelts, leaving the heads on. |
dress eight or nine three pound chickens. bake the chickens. |
choose a large sheep and dress it out, removing the wool and hooves but leaving the head on. |
next, take your camel and do him in. clean and dress intact. |
then, stuff the eggs into the fish. stuff the fish into the chickens. stuff the chickens into the sheep. stuff the sheep into the camel. |
roast over an open-pit fire for about 2 days, turning carefully on an oak spit and basting with your favorite sauce. |
this is truly a regal dish to serve for any special occasion and an ambitious undertaking for any family. variations, seasonings and methods of serving differ with taste. |
