Our Feathered Friends

I can't help it! Whenever I see Foghorn Leghorn my stomach rumbles. You see good cockerel is so hard to come by! Actually good chicken is a challenge to find.

Go back a few years ago and chicken was a luxury item, for it took a lot of looking after, could be awkward to catch and was hardly very big. It was also delicious. Then they found out how to breed them fatter, in small spaces and a lot faster. I was a quarter of the price, and a hundredth of the taste.

It is almost worth not eating chicken much and saving up for a real fine Bresse bird or similar. And once you have tracked down your local supplier, you will come back here to learn how to cook it, won't you? Oh, other birds are also included.
