Unless you went to a proper butcher... I always remember the boiling chickens hanging upside down in the window.

Yep but those were old 'layers' that had reached the end of their productive value not the 6-8 week old tasty tender lovelies we get now

I was considering riding this morning as we have a full day ahead. But not in the very heavy rain that is currently bucketing down.

It is grey and raining here .
This time last year we had 6 inches of snow !

Round and pink... How very avant garde!

Yeah, we're all over Avant Garde we are. Got lots of it.

Usually in the freezer section.

Must admit it was a damp and dismal 35 miles but well worth it .

I sliced a banana onto my Cornflakes this morning.
Yesterday, I was going to slice one into my porage, but decided not to at the last moment.

No, but I will have a choice of about 100 varieties of seed potatoes later!

Thing is 30 odd years ago all you ever saw were frozen chickens in shops unless it was Christmas, the concept of farming chickens for food didn't seem to be around like nowadays.

I'm in the States, though. We had a lot of chicken farms. And people raised chickens in their back yards. Like us. Then markets had many chickens as well. After the Napoleon incident,(wherein Louis Napoleon, the rooster, attacked my aunt as she was walking past the chicken yard, and received a summary court-martial and execution,) we culled the flock down and bought eggs and chickens from Herr Hopp at the Cardinal, a neighborhood grocery store. Part of the reason that we don't have the light trucks and vans Europe does is because Europeans did not want American chickens in their markets, so they placed a large tariff on chickens. We placed a large tariff on any mini van with a passenger interior coming from Europe. I believe interiors are still added here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tax
