I said something like this to my ”modern” friends, they laughed at me for having low standard. It was something my dad used to say:
“It takes effort to make chicken tastes bad.”
We raised chicken via the natural long process. I miss that taste so much and it’s hard to explain to people.
Now, I will just point them to this tweet.
- killingtime74 5y agoWe have slow grown chicken (as one of many chicken options) here in Australia, not sure if it matches the taste from your experiences
- belorn 5y agoIn small scale you are 100% right. Leave them to their natural behavior and they are perfectly able to eat the right amount of grass, insects and small rodents that their egg and meat will taste great (some support grains is needed). Force them to eat only the cheapest animal feed and pick breeds that wouldn't survive in the wild, and the resulting egg and meat will have a distinct worse taste. For small scale, chickens really are one of the most useful and easiest going animals one can have, and it is one of the things I miss living in a city.
