Poultry Poultry covers a very wide variety of edible birds, most
of which can't fly. Makes 'em easier to catch, I guess. They range in size from
a squab (a young pigeon) that weighs a few ounces to turkeys that make it over
20 pounds. The chickens we eat generally range from two or three plus pounds for
fryers up to five or six pounds for roasters and stewing chickens. Last time I
checked duck, they all weighed 4.1 pounds, if I remember correctly, which leads
me to suspect that they trip a trap door when they're the right size. We mostly eat chicken and an occasional turkey, and I think that's pretty typical. I used to fix Cornish game hens once in a while, but it's a lot of work both in the kitchen and at the table for not a lot of food. And people who have never worked in a butcher shop don't know how to disassemble one. Is being elegant worth it? Maybe. I've done duck and goose for the experience, but they are pretty fatty and need special consideration when preparing them. However, there are some excellent recipes particularly for duck, so next time I cook some up, you'll be able to share in the results. Meanwhile, here's what we've got so far:
