Goose is my favorite poultry

Probably mine too. Very greasy though. But big enough to stuff with apple stuffing at one end, and small potatoes at the other.

I've never figured out though why turkey meat (basically biomass) used to be more expensive than chicken. Though chicken's not much better.

My hierarchy of poulty

1. goose
2. duck
3. chicken
4. turkey

Mostly I think turkey is over-rated except as a carrier for stuffing, esp cornbread stuffing....

I've had other poultry (partidge, guinea fowl, pigeon, maybe others...) but none of it made any particular impression....

I've not eaten guinea fowl and dislike duck (every other bloody day in Iraq. That and courgettes and squash boiled to a mush) but like grouse. Gamier and in season now.

Generally I avoid chicken like the plague, due to having grown up opposite 9,000 Marks and Spencer broilers and disliking how they were treated. Frozen chicken breasts are £8 at Iceland in the UK. At that price, something's got to give and it's not the farmers' personal welfare. Even worse in Poland and the Middle East; factory farming conditions are cruel.

Simple, turkeys are bigger. Similarly, cows are pigger than pigs so beef is more expensive than pork. Ha!!!

turkeys are bigger.

It's the price per kilo. Turkey is basically biomass. The poor creatures are pumped full of chemicals and are too
fat to fĂșck. They have to be artificially inseminated. With a turkey batter.

It is sad what you say. I pity all those creatures so inhumanely treated by humans and apes. But I can`t give up eating meat - I was born and raised as a meat eater and can`t change my skin.

apes

Most of them are vegetarian.

a meat eater

It's ok in moderation. I could live without it though.

But not baboons, they willingly eat meat and even fish.

Lots of supposed herbivores occasionally eat meat... cows, horses, sheep.... baby birds are especially popular opportunistic snack, nature's popcorn....

The amount of tiny insects, microscopic worms in food, dust from decomposed flies/rats and dried dog turds etc that all mammals, vegan or omnivore, consume daily is huge anyway.

Some of the Poles in this picture were eating curry at the Curry Club in Warsaw.

And frogs. They taste like chicken.

frogs

Very crue. They cut the legs off with a sharp curved blade while they're still alive, drop the legs in a bucket and throw the rest of the frog on a heap.

throw

Where I'm from (a supplier of places that eat them) apparently they used scissors.... there was a newspaper story on those in the local frog industry that caused a bit of an uproar....

Several months ago, at a dinner I had been invited to by several Chinese people, I tried one of the dishes and the eyes of those sitting next to me lit up..."Do you know what that is?" they asked, clearly delighted..... "Frogs"

It was... okay.... the Chinese there said the dishes very very authentic and I didn't recognize most of them (conceptually the weirdest were flat noodles that looked like tagliatelle but made of tofu....). Mostly there were bowls with solids suspended in sauce, the chinese plucked out the solids and mostly ignored the sauces.

But I can`t give up eating meat

I took a little time to ponder on this issue and I know why - I need fatty food to quell my hunger which reappears quite soon after a meal, even a fulfilling one. You can`t deny that pork in whatever cooking option or fried chicken/fish or lard sandwiches are full of calories which I crave.

Yes, I know, it is unhealthy so spare me your advice. But I counterbalance it with massive veg and fruit consumption.

It seems that some people are indeed carnivores, you can tell by their teeth. They are sharp and pointed.

Yes. Such a rap singer as Popek eats half a cow for dinner.

Simple chicken breast but my wife topped it with onion, mushrooms and cheese before roasting in the oven:
