Certainly Paul Prudhomme's original is over the top with the three birds mutually stuffed. John's version is a little more refined, boneless meat of the three birds rolled into a rouladen with stuffing and roasted, then sliced into portion-size rounds.

I think it sounds WONDERFUL, just pricey. BUT I can understand it being pricey with the labor to debone each.

Only way to make it better is bacon.
