Description:
From dinosaur to dinner plate, Sally Coulthard tells the fascinating and sometimes shocking story of the domestic chicken.


Earth is home to 23 billion chickens, at least ten times more than any other bird. For every human on the planet, there are three chickens. Despite being capable of flying only a few metres, this most adaptable animal has somehow managed to conquer the world.


In Fowl Play, Sally Coulthard probes every aspect of the genus Gallus- the evolution and domestication of the chicken; its social behaviour and array of physically striking varieties, from Rhode Island Reds to Belgian d'Uccles and from Buff Orpingtons to White Leghorns; its importance in ancient Egyptian religion, Roman augury and Christian theology; its role as egg-providing companion on farms and smallholdings and in suburban back gardens; and the darker reality of modern poultry farming and society's insatiable appetite for chicken breasts, wings and nuggets. This is a story of evolutionary change, epic global travel, and exploitation, as well as biophilia, companionship and human ingenuity.

There so much flavor without it oozing all over the place.
I am so happy I found this chutney. It is perfect consistency to spread on bread to make our chutney sandwiches. The double bottle buy is the way to go. Always have one back up ready to go.

Delicious Peach Chutney - Perfect with Samosas!
We get frozen samosas and heat them up in the oven for 15 minutes, then serve them with this delicious peach chutney. I've been enjoying this chutney since I lived in Africa and am so happy I can get some at amazon whenever we are close to running out. This will become essential to your life once you taste how delicious it is. My husband also put it on a rice dish I threw together with some stir fried rice, corn, rotisserie chicken pieces and a few chopped up pieces of sweet onion. You do what you can to keep dinner on the table! With the samosas and the chutney half the work is done! I'll keep getting this and I liked that the bottles arrived nicely packaged in bubble wrap so they didn't break! I have to compliment my delivery people, they all treat my packages gently! You may also love this chutney with curry or mix it with mayonnaise and stir it with some sliced bananas as we used to do in Africa. It also works in curried chicken salad. So lots of ideas! ~The Rebecca Review
