Or is it Ballantine?  I never remember. 
Anyway, boned out a couple birds and stuffed them with rice, onion, celery, sausage meat, cheese and spices. Didn't have enough white rice so I used some black rice I had as well which made everything purple. 

They were quite good. Would use a bread stuffing next time per my wife's request.

    Are you a surgeon on the side  ;)  I always enjoy the results, but it takes me quite a while and many pauses of the instructional video to get the bird ready to go.

    Congrats on the preps, cook and banquet.

    As cool as that is, and as much as I enjoy watching Chef Pepin do it, I have never had the gumption to try it myself. Maybe some day.

    Good on ya!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Galantine is poached while a  ballotine is roasted, is what i think is the main difference? EDIT: or maybe the other way around?

    looks good. Great way to cook a bird frankly. If you have the skills to debone. Really allows you to serve the best meat (dark, imho) by simple slicing, without having to pick it up and gnaw on it.

    jaques pepin is a rockstar. That dude inspired me to begin cooking.  Unreal skills, makes the complex simple and he can flat out cook

    Such a resource

    Those birds look incredible btw
