    I?m sorry, yosh, but if it went to five dollars I wouldn?t care. There are 10,000 recipes for chicken,all of them intended to give it some taste.
    Besides, why kill and eat something that would give you an egg 200 times a year?

    Chicken and pig meat is for those who can't afford REAL meat.
    Whole chicken should be 1/2 the price of anything else cause you're buying the hide and bones.

    Got chickens that are too old to lay eggs? -- Sell ' em, eat 'em!

    Got a cow that's sick and about to die? -- Get her to the market, pronto!
    I can't believe they misspelled "Pork and Beans!"

    Prefer turkey here. But a bargain is a bargain. A nice T bone is alway nice on the grill.

    You only butcher egg layers if they crow and have spurs, or are old and stop laying.
    They are good for pot pie/ chicken and dumplings/ soup/ etc.

    Meat birds, butchered at 6-10 weeks of age, actually have meat on their bones.

    And they will die of splayed legs, or becoming to fat for their hearts to keep up. They then turn purple and die.

    Meat birds and egg layers are two completely different birds. And oh so tasty when you raise them yourself, and butcher them yourself.


    Next lesson, Kapons. Lkanne will be along, his family raised the best I?ve ever eaten.

    Edit, I can remember Red taking his roosters for walks.

    jimdeere - Some recipes calls for chicken. Funny you mention $5. Yesterday I was looking for Chicken for a recipe. I was between buying 5 trays of chicken parts for buy 5 pay $5 a tray "deal". We all know these were chickens with issues they cut around (cancer, tumors, etc) to recoup cost. Anyways I ended up paying $1.59 a pound. At least I'll have last of the year of Oden (until it gets cold again) and Udon. The Oden will just have my favorites. Tons of fish cakes, hard boil eggs, big slices of daikon and Konjau (love that gray rubbery flavorless cakes).

    I'll use the Oden cooking stock for the Udon.

    I prefer roasted goat, young goat actually. This little guy was about 18 lbs dressed out and as tasty as can be. :)

    Jim

    Cabrito. One of my favorites! I even found a family owned/operated restaurant off the Strip in LV which had it on their 'special' menu one night. We used that place like our own cafeteria. Good, cold beer and excellent Mexican food.

    Best.

    How do you keep the goat from drying out into jerky cooking like that?

    You finally did it!!! Posted a recipe that I don't like.
    You can keep all the goat you want. Hate it!!!
    Even a healthy goat looks like it has some sort of incurable disease.
    They walk around eating any junk on the ground while dropping sHiiite every where.
    Rats with long legs.
    There's a reason they were fed to the T-Rexes in Jurassic Park movie.

    Did I say I hate goats.???
