cockenthrice

cockenthrice - n., a Tudor dish in which the forepart of a small pig is sewn to the hindquarters of a large chicken.


No, really. More coverage. In case you're curious, the result is stuffed as if for pig and roasted on a spit. Etymology is obscure, though obviously the cock- part is the chicken -- but why three?
