Babies are too greasy. They make a nice accent to other food, but are too rich to eat on their own.


Baby Comfit: Rub the baby down with salt, garlic, maybe some herbs (thyme... Herbe de Provence, etc...) and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours. Then submerge in rendered fat (or alternatively seasoned sugar water), and slowly poach at 180 degrees for around 10 hours.

Makes great sandwiches - shred and sear in a hot frypan with a spicy sauce and a nice slaw

Or if you have a lot of energy, one could use it as a base for a baby Cassoulet.
 
I thought this was going to be about a newly discovered, 16th century, still edible Twinkie.

180 is way too hot.

Actually, babies are tender meat with little collagen. High heat methods will produce more flavor while still retaining the juiciness and excellent tooth characteristics.
