Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Wow, I wish they were cheaper! There are some nice organic chickens in the Bay area, but a little too far for me to drive. Whole Foods carry some, of course, but I'm sure they aren't nearly as nice as this... Cyndi In a message dated 3/6/2007 6:47:47 A.M.

The true Dark Cornish on the other hand is a delicious rare variety of chicken. To avoid possible confusion we like to refer to this chicken by its original name: Indian Game. The “game†name was given because the true Dark Cornish is a descendent of an Indonesian breed raised to be a fighting bird. Our Indian Games, which came to the USA via England, are absolutely luscious tasting and are so authentic and pure they have even retained their fighting look. One of the reasons this variety lost favor is because it grows so slowly: 20 weeks rather than 5 weeks. But Frank Reese has held this genetic line since 1974 when he acquired two breeder birds from poultry experts Tommy Reece and Vincent Farro. The new generation of Indian Games we have available this week has been raised by Bob and Dee Mejstrik who own Wild Rose Farm and Apiary located in the scenic Loess Hills just outside of Glenwood, Iowa. Indian Game meat is darker and firmer with a better texture than the commercial kind. The flavor is not gamey but “heavy,†a term used to describe a deep chicken essence. This is the first FRESH supply of chickens in 2007, and since the next group will need time to grow in numbers, the Dark Cornish Indian Game chickens will not be available again for a long while.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I know...don't they sound good? Because they are darker and fattier, I'm going to assume it tastes a little like a leaner duck, which would be interesting to taste. I hope I win lotto some I can afford all this good meat some day! --Cee-- RealSimple , cyndikrall wrote: > > > Wow, I wish they were cheaper!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Eating organic food frugally is always a challenge. On the flip side, paying more for meat and produce has really motivated me to find creative ways to use every bit. Even my veggie bits-ends, pieces, leftovers-gets frozen to use in veggie stocks. I freeze meat now in single serving portions-as opposed to "family sized"-so I always use only exactly what I need. I've always had the tendency to cook way too much food, the result of always having a lot of people to cook for, as well as cooking in a restaurant, lol. I'm working on curing that, lol. Yesterday, I cooked a bunch of boneless chicken in the crockpot. Today, I'll split it in half, and use half for dinner tonight, and freeze half for another meal later on. This way, it's already pre-portioned. I'd love to do the once a month cooking thing, once I'm back in full swing, lol. Cyndi In a message dated 3/6/2007 3:49:40 P.M.
