No olive not stuffed so I think they cheated.

Ahh, but was the olive stuffed as well, and if so..... with what?

Are you sure it was lark's tongues because I read of a gastronome in the 18thC who order a similar dish but with an olive instead of the lark's tongues and he ate just the olive. Silly person.

Not what I am looking for

Sorry can I rephrase that..... a recipe for stuffed camel, does that sound better? oh, you know what I mean anyway!!

and another called A Modest Meal For A Few Friends, which says ~ Boned swan, stuffed with a boned goose, stuffed with a boned capon, stuffed with a boned muscovy, stuffed with a boned mallard, stuffed with a boned pheasant, stuffed with a boned partridge, stuffed with a boned woodcock, stuffed with a boned dove, stuffed with a boned snipe, stuffed with a boned sparrow, stuffed with a dozen larks' tongues. (Chopped truffle will do instead of larks' tongues if you are a fairly law-abiding conservationist. The swan is not negotiable.)

It must be American, not allowed the swan in this country unless you are the Queen.

Well if you can't find that recipe or similar, I know of one that ends up stuffing a whole camel.

Would love the recipe . Thought it sounded gorgeous.Could you modify thr recipe to send it without breaching copyright Please . Just saw it at 8.00 p.pm to-night

I have a similar recipe, it's in an old Cordon Bleu Cookery
Course Second Edition No. 41 on page 9 under Special Christmas Dishes which uses the same birds but different stuffings
