People may think it's expensive, but it would be perfect for a party.

Takashimaya has started taking orders for 12 capons to be flown in from Landes, France in time for Christmas Eve and filled with black truffles, foie gras, white sausage and chestnuts. (Reuters)

It is expensive. You know what is perfect for a party? A roast chicken, roast turkey and a couple of pizzas. Still that would be cheaper than a mould and liver filler bird, which holds somekind of status symbol because it comes from the lands of the evil gaijin.

On December last year I found roasted turkey legs at the supermarket, imported from somewhere and just sitting there next to packaged chicken. Apparently they were not on demand. I got one for me, it was passable and not too dry. However it was impossible to find turkey breast pieces. I guess Japanese don't like turkey.

I'll tell you what you should do if you want any kind of turkey - chicken, duck, turkey, guinea fowl, delivered right to your door. Google TheMeatGuy. Been using him for years now and he never disappoints.
And french truffle extortion can eff orf.

Me! ( I always go out for a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, though )

Thanks for the tip, Wottock.
I can see you're not one to be truffled with.
